DESCRIPTION
Explanation & Recommended Procedure
(Status LED names may vary between makes and models)
LID UNLOCK FAULT
Fault is displayed if Lid Lock has not moved into unlocked position or motor cannot be powered.
• Check for lock interference with lock striker.
• Main control cannot determine if lid lock is in an unlocked state.
• See TEST #8: Lid Lock, page 18.
LID NOT OPENED BETWEEN CYCLES
Fault is displayed if the following conditions occur:
• User presses START after several consecutive washer cycles without opening lid.
• See TEST #8: Lid Lock, page 18.
BASKET SPEED SENSOR FAULT
Fault is displayed when the main control cannot determine speed of basket, or speed changes too quickly.
• Locked rotor—check that basket, impeller, and motor can rotate freely.
• Check harness connections from main control to motor and shifter.
• See TEST #3a: Drive System–Shifter, page 13.
SHIFTER FAULT
Fault is displayed when the main control cannot determine position of shifter.
• Check harness connections from main control to motor and shifter.
• Observe shifter operation.
• See TEST #3a: Drive System–Shifter, page 13.
MOTOR FAULT
Indicates an open clockwise or counterclockwise circuit of the motor.
• See TEST #3b: Drive System–Motor, page 14.
MOTOR UNABLE TO REACH TARGET RPM
Fault is displayed when basket speed sensor detects that target RPM was not reached.
• Mechanical friction on drive mechanism or basket (clothing between basket and tub).
• Weak motor or run capacitor, or no connection to run capacitor.
• Load off balance. Clothing should be distributed evenly when loading.
• See TEST #3b: Drive System–Motor, page 14.
NO FILL, LONG FILL
Fault is displayed when the water level does not change for a period of time OR water is present but main control
does not detect the water level changing.
• Is water supply connected and turned on?
• Low water pressure; fill times longer than six minutes. Are hose screens plugged?
• Check for proper drain hose installation. Is water siphoning out of the drain hose?
• Drain hose must not be more than 4.5" (113mm) into the drain pipe.
• Check pressure hose connection from tub to main control. Is hose pinched, kinked, plugged, or leaking air?
• See TEST #2: Valves, page 13.
OVERFLOW CONDITION
Fault is displayed when main control senses water level that exceeds the washer's capacity.
• May signify problem with inlet water valves.
• Check pressure hose connection from tub to main control. Is hose pinched, kinked, plugged, or leaking air?
• Pressure transducer fault on main control.
• See TEST #2: Valves, page 13 and TEST #6: Water Level, page 17.
HOT, COLD REVERSED
Fault is displayed when the hot and cold inlet hoses are reversed.
• Make sure inlet hoses are connected correctly.
• If hoses are installed properly, temperature thermistor may be stuck in low resistance range.
• See TEST #2: Valves, page 13 and TEST #5: Temperature Thermistor, page 17.
LONG DRAIN
Fault is displayed when the water level does not change after the drain pump is on for 10 minutes.
• Is the drain hose or the drain pump clogged? Check tub sump under impeller for obstructions.
• Is the drain hose height greater than 96"?
• Check pressure hose connection from tub to main control. Is hose pinched, kinked, plugged, or leaking air?
• Is the pump running? If not, see TEST #7: Drain Pump, page 17.
* If the Sensing, Prewash, and/or Soak LEDs are ON, the fault code is represented; if OFF, the error code is represented.
