Washer Error Codes
When your washing machine throws a code, it has narrowed the problem down to a specific part or system. Find your brand below, then open the code for what it means, the most common causes, and the repair cost in the Orange County market. The diagnostic is $65, waived when you authorize the repair.
Washer codes by brand.
LG
LG washers show a two-letter fault code in the cycle display when a problem stops the wash. The codes use a letter pair such as LE or UE, and many LG front-load models also speak the fault aloud through the panel.
Samsung
Samsung washers display a short alphanumeric fault code on the digital panel when a cycle stops. Older models use codes such as 5E and 4E, while newer models use longer forms like 5C, 4C, and dC.
Whirlpool
Whirlpool washers report faults as F-codes, often paired with an E-code that pinpoints the part, for example F5 E2. Some models also show plain-language alerts such as Sd for excess suds or LF for a long fill.
Maytag
Maytag washers are built on the Whirlpool platform and use the same fault scheme. Codes appear as an F-code with an E-code, such as F5 E2, and some models show plain alerts like Sd for suds or LF for a slow fill.
GE
GE washers show fault codes on the digital display, with front-load models using an E-code with a number and many top-load Hydrowave models flashing a numeric pattern through the cycle lights.
Frigidaire
Frigidaire washers, built on the Electrolux platform, display E-codes on the digital panel. The code is a letter E followed by two digits, such as E20, and the digits point to the system at fault.
Kenmore
Kenmore is a badge brand, so the washer is actually built by Whirlpool, LG, or Samsung depending on the model. The first three digits of the model number identify the maker, and the fault codes follow that maker scheme. Prefix 110 is Whirlpool, 796 is LG, and 592 is Samsung.
Bosch
Bosch front-load washers show fault codes on the digital display, usually as a letter E followed by a number. Some Bosch models pair the code with a wrench or fault icon to flag that service is needed.
Speed Queen
Speed Queen washers with an electronic control show fault codes on the digital display, typically as a letter E or F followed by a number. The brand also builds commercial machines, so the code shown can depend on whether the model uses a mechanical timer or an electronic control.
Amana
Amana washers are built on the Whirlpool platform and use the same fault scheme. Codes show as an F-code paired with an E-code, such as F8 E1, and some models display plain alerts like Sd for excess suds.
