Washer displays F7E2 and may not spin or may stop during spin with a grinding noise.

Safety First: Unplug the washer before any internal inspection. Water in the tub should be drained before tipping the unit.

• Step 1 – Check for obstructions: Look between the basket and tub for small items (socks, undergarments) that could jam the basket. Remove any found.
• Step 2 – Spin basket by hand: If the basket is very hard to turn or locked, suspect a gearcase or bearing failure.
• Step 3 – Inspect drive hub (impeller models): Remove the wash plate and inspect the hub for stripped splines or cracks. Replace if worn.
• Step 4 – Inspect motor and gearcase (advanced): From underneath, check for oil leakage from the gearcase or signs of overheating at the motor.

F7E2 typically indicates a serious mechanical issue. If basic checks do not reveal a simple obstruction or hub failure, contact a professional for gearcase or motor replacement.
