| Code | Fault / Diagnostics | Appliances | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| F09 | Overfill or excess water detected Info: Pressure switch fault or main control board issue causing the machine to overfill. | Washing Machine | |
| F9 | Continuous water filling Info: Water inlet valve is stuck open or there's a syphoning issue with the drain hose. | Dishwasher | |
| F1 E0 | Oven is not functioning, display shows error Info: Main control board (MCU) failure. | Oven | |
| F1 E1 | Main control board failure. Reset power. If it persists, replace the main electronic control board. PRO TIP: If your fridge is showing any 'E' code and it's under 5 years old, always try a hard reset (unplug 10 minutes) before calling. 60% of the time it clears temporary glitches. | Refrigerator | |
| F11 | Machine is dead or unresponsive Info: Communication error between the main control board (MCU) and the user interface (UI). | Washing Machine | |
| F12 | Water does not heat up during wash cycle. Info: Heating element failure. The element has an open circuit. | Washing Machine | |
| F13 | Door will not lock or unlock Info: Fault with the door lock mechanism or its connection to the control board. | Washing Machine | |
| F14 | Machine is completely dead or has erratic behavior. Info: Main control board or EEPROM data corruption fault. | Washing Machine | |
| F15 | Motor control unit (MCU) error Info: The main control board has detected a fault with the motor control section. | Washing Machine | |
| F2 E1 | A button on the control panel appears stuck Info: Shorted key or stuck button on the touch panel or membrane keypad. | Oven | |
| F21 | Buttons on the control panel are not responding. Info: User interface (UI) control board error or communication failure. | Washing Machine | |
| F-22 | Outlet thermistor error. Test exhaust thermistor resistance. PRO TIP: 'Flow Sense' or restricted airflow errors mean you must clean the vent — this is the #1 fire hazard. | Dryer | |
| F22 | Door not detected as closed Info: Door switch error, often related to the door lock assembly. | Washing Machine | |
| F-23 | Outlet thermistor error. Test exhaust thermistor resistance. PRO TIP: 'Flow Sense' or restricted airflow errors mean you must clean the vent — this is the #1 fire hazard. | Dryer | |
| F23 | Water heating error. Info: Pressure switch and heater control circuit mismatch. Often means the heater was on when the tub was empty. | Washing Machine | |
| F3 E0 | Oven not heating or inaccurate temperature Info: Open circuit detected in the oven temperature sensor (thermistor). | Oven | |
| F3 E1 | Oven overheating or inaccurate temperature Info: Shorted oven temperature sensor (thermistor). | Oven | |
| F3 E2 | Oven gets too hot during preheat or cooking Info: Oven is overheating. This can be caused by a faulty temperature sensor or a stuck relay on the control board. | Oven | |
| F4 E0 | Meat probe function is not working. Info: The meat probe sensor is shorted. | Oven | |
| F47 | Hob is unresponsive or showing error. Info: Communication error between the user interface board and the power board. | Hob | |
| F5 E1 | Self-clean cycle won't start, door won't lock Info: The door lock mechanism has failed to lock. | Oven | |
| F5 E2 | Door opening issue. Check door switch and hinges for alignment. PRO TIP: If your fridge is showing any 'E' code and it's under 5 years old, always try a hard reset (unplug 10 minutes) before calling. 60% of the time it clears temporary glitches. | Refrigerator | |
| F-70 | User interface board failure. Check connection between user interface and main board. PRO TIP: 'Flow Sense' or restricted airflow errors mean you must clean the vent — this is the #1 fire hazard. | Dryer | |
| F-71 | User interface board failure. Check connection between user interface and main board. PRO TIP: 'Flow Sense' or restricted airflow errors mean you must clean the vent — this is the #1 fire hazard. | Dryer | |
| F9 E0 | Oven not working, error displayed Info: Mismatch in wiring or component checksum error on the control board. | Oven | |
| HC | Reversed hot/cold hoses. Swap the hot and cold water inlet hoses at the rear. PRO TIP: We see more clogged pump filters than any other single issue. Takes 5 minutes to clean and saves a $149 service call. | Washing Machine | |
| Ld | Long drain. Check drain pump and hose for blockages. PRO TIP: We see more clogged pump filters than any other single issue. Takes 5 minutes to clean and saves a $149 service call. 5 Elite Techs Verified | Washing Machine | |
