Understanding & Clearing Error Codes

Error codes are critical indicators of potential issues in your washing machine. For instance, the machine in the video initially had an F-21 error code. After replacing the carbon brushes, the machine displayed an F-63 error code. Clearing these error codes can help you pinpoint the exact problem.

Here are the steps to clear an error code:

1. Ensure the machine is off. Turn the dial to zero.
2. Turn the dial to the 'Rinse' position, typically located at the six o'clock position. Note that the exact position may vary between machines.
3. Once the 'Rinse' light illuminates, press and hold the 'Spin' button.
4. While holding the 'Spin' button, turn the dial to the 'Spin' position and hold it there for five seconds.
5. Release the 'Spin' button and turn the dial back to the off position.

This procedure should clear the error code. For some models, you might need to hold both the 'Spin' and 'Start' buttons when performing these steps.

Please remember that the whole video includes step-by-step and detailed explanations, which may help you reduce your repair time.

After clearing the error code, the machine should function normally. In this case, the machine completed several wash cycles without displaying any error codes. The new carbon brushes are now properly integrated with the motor.
