Decoding Error Codes

Ever see a cryptic code flashing on your washer's display? Don't panic! These codes are your washer's way of communicating a problem. Here's a breakdown of a few common ones:

• E4 Error (Water Supply Issue): This code indicates a problem with water flow. Check for kinked hoses, clogged filters, or low water pressure.
• UE Error (Unbalanced Load): The washer detects an uneven distribution of clothes in the drum, causing vibrations. Redistribute the load or remove bulky items.
• T5/T6 Error (Temperature Discrepancy): The water isn't reaching the desired temperature. This could be due to a faulty sensor, wiring issues, or a malfunctioning heating element.
• HE2 Error (Heater Malfunction): The heater element responsible for hot water cycles isn't working properly.
• EC Error (Communication Error): There's a communication breakdown between the control board and other components in the washer.
