Fault Code Description
Solution
FH
No water detected entering
machine or Pressure switch trip
not detected.
If after 30 seconds the control does not detect water
entering machine and then valves will be turned off and
the error code will be displayed.
Or
If the control has turned the water valves on and after 8
minutes the flow meter has detected 10.5 gallons of
water passing through it, but has not detected the
pressure switch trip, the valves will be turned off and the
error code will flash.
Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.
Potential Causes
• If there is no water in the unit:
- Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are
turned on all the way.
- Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged
screens in the inlet valves
- Verify inlet valve operation
• If there is water in the unit:
- Verify Drain pump operation
- Pressure Switch Hose is in good condition and
properly connected to Tub and Pressure switch
• Verify there is not a siphon problem
• Verify wire harness connections to; Inlet Valves,
Pressure Switch, Drain Pump, Flow Meter, and Central
Control Unit (CCU)
• Check all hoses for possible leaks
• Verify pressure switch operation
• Verify flow meter operation
• Verify CCU operation
Replace failed component.
F02
Long Drain
If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes, the water valves are
turned off and F02 is flashed.
Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.
NOTE: After 4 minutes the “Sud” error will be displayed,
Potential Causes
• Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or
kinked
• Check Wire Harness connections to the Drain Pump,
Pressure Switch, and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Check / Clean Drain Pump Filter of foreign objects
• Check for Drain Pump Failure
• Check the Inlet Valve for proper shut off
• Check the Pressure switch for proper operation
Replace failed component.
F10
Motor Control Unit (MCU) heat
sink thermal trip
If the thermal protector on the MCU heat sink gets too
hot, it will open the thermal protector on the heat sink
which will stop motor functions and an F10 will be
displayed.
Potential Causes
• Check for Proper Installation, verify the unit is not
located near a source of heat and has proper ventilation.
• Check Wire Harness connections to the MCU, the
motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Check the Drive system for any worn or failed
components
• Check MCU
• Check Motor
Replace failed component.
F11
Serial communication error
Communication between the Central Control Unit (CCU)
and the Motor Control Unit (MCU) cannot be sent
correctly.
Potential Causes
• Check Wire Harness connections to the MCU, the
motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Check the Drive system for any worn or failed
components
• Check MCU
• Check CCU
• Check Motor
• Check Wire Harness
Replace failed component.
F13
Dispenser circuit error
If the dispenser motor is not able to be driven to it’s
proper position.
Potential Causes
• Check mechanical linkage from dispenser motor to the
top of the dispenser.
• Check Wire Harness connections to the dispenser
motor and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Check Dispenser Motor
Replace failed component.
F14
EEPROM error
The Central Control Unit (CCU) receives it’s data from an
EEPROM onboard the CCU. If there is an error reading
this data it will cause this error.
Potential Causes
• A power glitch may cause this error. Try unplugging the
Unit for two minutes to see if that fixes the error.
• Check CCU.
Replace failed component.
F15
Motor Control Unit (MCU) error
If the MCU detects multiple resets or errors during a
wash cycle it will go into this error mode.
Potential Causes
• Check Wire Harness connections to the MCU, the
motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Check Drive belt
• Check MCU
• Check Motor
• Check Wire Harness
Replace failed component.
Sud
SUDS LOCK (Overdose of
detergent detected during the
wash cycle)
The motor control unit senses a suds lock condition by
analyzing the current draw on the drive motor. If “Sud” is
displayed a potential suds lock is detected. This may
signify a bad pump, an extra heavy load, excessive
detergent, or excessive suds.
Potential Causes
• If too much detergent was used, run the unit through a
Rinse/ Spin cycle then a Normal cycle without adding any
detergent. This should clear the unit of the excess
detergent.
• Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or
kinked
• Check Wire Harness connections to the Drain Pump,
Pressure Switch, and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Check / Clean Drain Pump Filter of foreign objects
• Check Drain Pump
• Check the Pressure Switch
• Check CCU
Replace failed component.
FdL
Door lock error
A Door Lock Error occurs if the door cannot be locked. It
will try to lock it 6 times before displaying the error.
Potential Causes
• Door Lock Mechanism broken or removed from the
Door
• Check Door Lock/Switch Assembly
• Check the wire harness connections to the Door
Lock/Switch Assembly and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Door Lock/Switch Assembly Failure
Replace failed component.
FdU
Door unlock error
A Door Unlock Error occurs if the door cannot be
unlocked. It will try to unlock the door 6 times before
displaying the error.
Potential Causes
• Door Lock Mechanism broken.
• Check Door Lock/Switch Assembly for foreign objects
• Check Wire Harness connections to the Door
Lock/Switch Assembly and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Door Lock/Switch Assembly Failure
Replace failed component.
Note: The door lock/switch assembly can be manually
unlocked.
To Manually unlock the door lock system:
1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Remove the lower toe panel.
3. Reach up along the inside of the front panel and locate
the bottom of the door latch assembly.
4. Located on the bottom of the door latch assembly is a
tear-drop shaped tab.
5. Gently pull the tab down about 1/4 inch or until a click
is heard.
6. The door may now be opened.
