Address soon - your appliance may not work properly

What This Means

Connectors at main PCB and drain pump loose or disconnected; Water level above 250 (air dome or pressure hose clogged, pressure switch fault); Drain pump motor resistance outside 1-20 Ohm range; Voltage at main PCB connectors NA4-1 BN and BL3-1 BK not 120 VAC +/-5%; Kinked or clogged drain hose; Frozen drain hose; Foreign objects clogging drain pump filter; Foreign objects caught in pump impeller

How to Fix

  1. 1

    Confirm OE is displayed

  2. 2

    Check connectors at main PCB and drain pump - reconnect/repair if loose or disconnected

  3. 3

    Press WASH/RINSE and DELAY START simultaneously - check if water level is less than 250

  4. 4

    If water level not less than 250: check air dome and pressure hose for clogging; check pressure switch (test #2)

  5. 5

    If water level less than 250: measure resistance of drain pump motor

  6. 6

    Drain pump resistance should be 1-20 Ohm - if outside range, replace DRAIN PUMP ASSEMBLY

  7. 7

    Check voltage between main PCB connectors NA4-1 BN and BL3-1 BK - should be 120 VAC +/-5%

  8. 8

    If voltage incorrect: replace MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY

  9. 9

    To test drain pump: turn on washer, press SPIN SPEED to LOW, press START/PAUSE

  10. 10

    Always check external causes: kinked/clogged drain hose, frozen hose, clogged filter, impeller obstruction
