How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing any control panel screws or covers.
- 1. Power reset: Disconnect power for 5–10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge, then plug back in and try to start a cycle.
- 2. Inspect control panel connections: Remove the top cover and control panel. Check ribbon cables and connectors between the user interface and main PCB. Reseat all connectors firmly.
- 3. Look for moisture or corrosion: If the panel has been exposed to steam or detergent spills, dry it thoroughly and clean light corrosion with isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush.
- 4. Check for visible PCB damage: Burn marks, swollen components, or cracked solder joints indicate a failed board that must be replaced.
- 5. Replace faulty board: If wiring is intact but E10 persists, replace the user interface board or main PCB with a Toshiba-specified part. This repair is best done by a professional due to programming and safety considerations.
