21, 26, 27, 49, 50 or 246 | Water inlet valve failure | Unplug the washer and reconnect any loose wires on the water inlet valve assembly. Replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wiring connections are okay, measure the resistance of the water inlet valves using a volt/ohm meter. If the resistance of each water inlet valve is not 61 ohms, replace the water inlet valve assembly | Water inlet valve assembly, Wire harness |
38 or 39 | Water level pressure transducer air tube failure | Unplug the washer and reconnect the water level pressure switch air tube. Replace the air tube if damaged | Water level pressure switch air tube |
58 or 68 | Thermistor (water temperature sensor) failure | Unplug the washer and reconnect any loose wires in the thermistor circuit. Replace the wire harness if damaged. Measure the thermistor resistance using a volt/ohm meter. Replace the thermistor if resistance is not 12.5K ohms at 68 degrees F | Motor control module |
10, 41 or 237 | Unexpected heating - water heats up without the control module activating the heater | Unplug the washer and check the heater for visible damage. A damaged heater could be shorting out to the metal cabinet, causing the element to heat constantly. Replace the heater if damaged. If the heater is okay, replace the control module because the relay that controls the heater is likely stuck in the On position | Thermistor, Wire harness |

234, 235, 238, or 239 | Lid lock assembly is defective | Replace the wire harness if damaged. Measure the resistance of the lid lock using a volt/ohm meter. If the resistance isn't 63 ohms, replace the lid lock assembly. If the resistance is correct, replace the motor control module | Lid lock assembly, Wire harness, Motor control module |
40, 56, or 160 | Spin basket is not engaging or disengaging from the clutch | The spin basket must be able to rise and fall with the water level to engage and disengage from the clutch. Unplug the washer and pull out the spin basket. Remove any foreign objects between the spin basket and the tub that could be interfering with spin basket clutch engagement. Replace any damaged drive components | Drive components |
136 or 137 | Motor not running | Unplug the washer and rotate the spin basket. If the spin basket doesn't rotate freely, remove any foreign objects between the spin basket and the tub. If the spin basket rotates freely, replace the drive motor because the motor is likely defective. If the problem persists, replace the motor control module | Drive motor, Motor control module |
37, 114, 245, 247, 248, 249, 250 or 253 | Water not draining | Remove any clogs from the house drain for the washer. Remove any clogs or kinks from the washer drain hose. Unplug the washer and check the drain pump for a clog. If the drain pump is defective, replace it | Drain pump |
