Possible Causes

Incorrect line voltage, Loose power cord connection, Faulty main control power supply section, Tripped breaker or shared circuit issues

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before inspecting electrical connections. If you are not comfortable working with electricity, contact a licensed electrician or technician.

  • Check breaker and outlet: Verify the circuit breaker is not tripped and the outlet is properly grounded. Test the outlet with another appliance or a multimeter.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections on the washer’s power cord. Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet.
  • Avoid extension cords: Plug the washer directly into a dedicated outlet. Extension cords can cause voltage drop and intermittent power.
  • Internal inspection (advanced): With power disconnected, access the main control board and check for burnt components or loose connectors on the power input side.
  • Replace control board if needed: If the supply voltage is correct and E48 persists, the main control board’s power supply circuit may be defective and should be replaced by a qualified technician.
