How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the washer before removing the console or accessing the control board.

  • Step 1 – Power reset: Disconnect power for at least 5 minutes to allow the control to fully discharge. Plug back in and attempt to start a cycle.
  • Step 2 – Inspect wiring connections: Remove the console or top panel to access the main control. Check all harness connectors for full seating, corrosion, or damage. Reseat each connector firmly.
  • Step 3 – Check for moisture: Look for signs of water leaks or condensation near the control. Address any leaks from inlet valves or hoses before replacing the board.
  • Step 4 – Verify power supply: Confirm the outlet provides a stable 120 VAC using a meter. Avoid using long extension cords or power strips.

If F1E1 returns after a reset and wiring check, the main control board is likely defective and should be replaced. This repair involves transferring all connectors to the new board exactly as on the original.
