How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the washer before opening the console.
- Step 1 – Inspect console connections: Remove the console screws and carefully tilt the console forward. Locate the ribbon cable or harness between the UI and main control. Reseat both ends.
- Step 2 – Check for corrosion or damage: Examine connector pins and ribbon cable for discoloration, cracks, or kinks. Clean light corrosion with electronic contact cleaner and a soft brush.
- Step 3 – Dry any moisture: If moisture is present inside the console, dry thoroughly and correct any source of leaks or excessive humidity.
- Step 4 – Power reset: After reassembly, plug the washer back in and test all buttons and cycle selections.
If the error persists and some buttons do not respond, the user interface board or console assembly will likely need replacement.
