Hi, the E3 error means that the control board is detecting current going to the motor, but the motor won't turn properly. If the error code comes up all the time as soon as you press the power on button, then it means your control board is bad and reading incorrectly. If it only happens during a cycle, then you need a new motor unfortunately.

The "F5" fault code indicates a water temperature sensor error.

MY WASHER IS NOT GETTING IN WATER

Wait for your handsome husband to come home and have him fix it. jk

If you are saying that after the washer has finished you are left with wet cloths and water left standing in the tub ,then your pump is broken or as was my case I opened the back and removed the pump only to find a small piece of wicker that had come off my laundry basket . It was keeping the pump from turning .I removed it put everything back in place and saved over $380.00 . I hope this helps good luck .

Hello,

The F21 error code is displayed when the water didn't drain in the normal time,the usual reason the washer did nto drain with in the normal time is because the filter screen on the pump is clogged. This tip i wrote will show ya how to take apart the washer and clean the filter on the pump.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

I suspect from your description of the symptoms that the drain filter is possibly blocked or the drain motor is unable to function correctly.

I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Following are my complete and hopefully 'coverall' pre-typed guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Not really bad news. The unit requires a door lock assembly.

Hi

Error code SD/5d means LONG DRAIN. This error appears when the drain time exceeds 8 minutes and the water valves turn off. After 4 minutes the "Sd" error will be displayed, and then 4 minutes later the F21 error code will be displayed. Press PAUSE/CANCEL two times to clear the display. Please Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked. If the drain hose if fine then unplug the washer and check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the pump is running. Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects. To access the drain pump and filter remove the front kick panel and trace the drain hose to the bottom of the washer, drain pump would be located there. If you are not able to access it, then replace the back panel as well. Plug in washer or reconnect power. If the issue is still not resolved then you would need to replace the drain pump. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Hi

E3 is an overload error and indicates that the washer motor is not running properly. You can take out some clothes and then restart the cycle by pressing the START/PAUSE button. After this, if the error appears again then check the motor connections, if everything appears fine then the motor should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Hello there :
This is normally caused from a drainage hose that is clogging or is kinked or the
extraction pump itself is clogged up or it is just starting to wear out
alos the lines going to the pump may be getting clogged or is clogging so i would first start by checking out all of the lines that go from the drain point of the washer and check them really good than if you feel like you have the capability to dig in deeper open the rear panel of the machine and you will find the drain pump if you remove the pump you will be able to checkk out all of the hoses that lead to it and check out the pump really good too make sure every thing is cleaned outr really good and then reassemble the machine and retry and if still nothing then i would have to say that the pump is failing you ok
I hope all of this information is very helpful for you
Best regards
Michael

all washers ever made regardless of front or top load need shipping support when shipped be it shipping bolts or other means of synching the tub down so it doesnt become damaged by bouncing around in the back of a truck

press and hold the lock button down for 3 seconds and it should unlock. if it does't then the electronic control is malfunctioning.

That means not fill, not water has entered the unit. Check out the water connection to the unit they may have been turn off.
Hope that helps I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gere_bf68e6055dd61249
