How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the washer and allow the motor to cool for at least 30 minutes before further use.
- Step 1 – Let motor cool: Do not restart immediately. Overheated motors need time to cool to avoid permanent damage.
- Step 2 – Reduce load size: Wash smaller loads, especially with heavy fabrics.
- Step 3 – Check for drag: Spin the basket by hand to ensure it moves freely. Binding indicates mechanical issues that must be corrected.
Repeated F7E8 errors with normal loads suggest a failing motor or control that should be evaluated and replaced if necessary.
