Before you look up a code

Most washer codes come down to the water supply, the drain (hose and pump filter), the door or lid lock, or an unbalanced load — all things you can check safely yourself. Write down the exact code and your model number first — codes can differ between model families of the same brand.

Safety first

Always unplug the appliance before removing filters or panels. Never bypass a door lock or safety switch. If you smell gas, burning, or see sparks, stop and call a professional.
