ERROR CODES

If the transducer signals a high or a low water level for more than 16
seconds the washer will shut off and FF will flash.
• Press the RINSE OPTIONS button and select DRAIN/SPIN to drain
washer.
• Check the water level transducer hose and wire connections.
• Also check the pressure dome hose to be sure they are properly
connected.
• Check the water level transducer, see TEST #7.
Flashes when the fill time exceeds 1 hour or the water valve(s) are
turned off. Press PAUSE/CANCEL to clear display.
Flashes if it takes longer than 1 hour to pump out water down to a
reset level (approx. 4 inches). Press PAUSE/CANCEL to clear dis-
play.
Flashes if the lid is opened during a spin cycle.
• Close lid or press PAUSE/CANCEL to clear display.
• If OL continues to flash, check lid switch.
Flashes when washer basket exceeds out-of-balance limits during
spin. The washer automatically attempts the spin cycle 4 times when
an out-of-balance load is detected. If the clothes are not redistrib-
uted enough after these attempts, OB is displayed and the washer
goes into the STANDBY mode.
• To clear display, evenly distribute the clothes load and close lid.
• If OB continues to flash, check out-of-balance solenoid switch, see
Test No. 3.

the cycle. Press PAUSE/CANCEL to clear display.

Flashes if the lid is NOT opened after the cycle was completed. The
electronic control board must detect that PAUSE/CANCEL was
pressed during a cycle or the lid was opened at least once at the end
of any cycle. This is continually tested to ensure proper lid switch
operation. If "F 3" is flashing, check continuity of the lid switch.
• With the lid closed, lid switch contacts should be closed.
• With the lid open, lid switch contacts should be open.
• If the lid switch has failed, replace it.
• If the lid switch is good, replace the electronic control board.
