E dF
The error code E:dF or E dF on your Speed Queen washer indicates a Drive Failure. This means there's an issue with the system that powers the drum's rotation. Here's a breakdown of what it could be and some troubleshooting steps
Possible Causes of E:dF Error Code
- Motor Issues:
- The motor that spins the drum might be unplugged, malfunctioning, or facing electrical problems.
- Tachometer Circuit Open:
- The tachometer is a sensor that monitors the drum's speed. If the circuit connecting it to the control board is open (disconnected), the washer won't function properly.
- Drum Locked Up:
- In rare cases, the drum itself might be physically jammed or unable to rotate due to foreign objects or internal wear.
Troubleshooting the error code E dF, E:dF
- Power Reset
- This is the simplest step. Unplug the washer from the power outlet for a minute, then plug it back in. Sometimes a temporary glitch can cause the error code.
- Check Connections
- Ensure the motor is properly plugged into its electrical connector. You can usually access the motor by removing the back panel of the washer (consult the user manual for specific disassembly instructions).
- Consult the Manual
- Your Speed Queen washer's user manual might have specific troubleshooting steps for the E:dF error. Refer to it for any recommended procedures.
Important Note: If you're not comfortable troubleshooting electrical components or disassembling the washer, it's best to call a qualified appliance repair technician. They can diagnose the exact cause of the E:dF error and recommend the appropriate repair solution.
