Fault
Code
Fault Name Description Repair Action
5 Mode Shifter Control didn’t see the transition from Agitate
to Spin or vice-versa in the time required.
Could mean the shift didn’t occur or Control
didn’t get the signal because of lack of
connection.
Check mode shifter coupler for
damage and the ability to slide
in and out freely.
Using an ohm meter, check to
ensure mode shifter switch is in
the open position.
Check resistance of mode
shifter motor (approximately
5.7k ohms).
Check for 120 VAC to the mode
shifter motor at the control J512
connector.
If voltage is present, replace the
mode shifter.
6 Critical Flood
Level by Pressure.
Pressure level
exceeds 17.5 inches
above pressure port.
Control received an extended period of
pressure readings that is nearing over-flow
levels. Pressure 17.5”.
Voltage output must be present. Could
mean water did get that high due to briefly
stuck water valve. Voltage output of sensor
too high for actual water level because of
sensor or water in pressure tube increasing
pressure.
Check pressure tube for
pinches where it goes through
top cover grommet.
Check pressure tube for
trapped water.
Check for any leaking water
valves.
Check the output voltage from
the pressure sensor to ensure
it matches the water level in
the basket according to the
pressure sensor chart. If it
does not, the control will need
to be replaced as the pressure
sensor is mounted directly to
the control.
7 Flood Warning
Level by Pressure.
Pressure level
exceeds 16.5 inches
above pressure port.
Main micro received and extended period
of pressure readings that is greater than
maximum allowable fill volume. Pressure
16.5”. Voltage output must be present.
Could mean water did get that high due to
briefly stuck water valve. Voltage output
of sensor too high for actual water level
because of sensor or water in pressure
tube increasing pressure.
This can happen if a large wet
load is placed in the washer.
Check pressure tube for
pinches where it goes through
top cover grommet.
Check pressure tube for
trapped water.
Check for any leaking water
valves.
Check the output voltage from
the pressure sensor to ensure
it matches the water level in
the basket according to the
pressure sensor chart.
8 Pressure Sensor
Loss
This determines if there has been a too
great of a difference in the pressure sensor
reading and the expected pressure sensor
reading for the amount of water the control
calculated it has put in. It assumes there
is a pressure leak, a clog in the pressure
hose/system delaying the increase in
pressure, or a significant amount water
leaking out.
Check house water supply
vales are turned on.
Check pressure tube for
pinches where it goes through
top cover grommet.
Check pressure tube for
trapped water.
Check water valve operation.
Check the output voltage from
the pressure sensor to ensure
it matches the water level in
the basket according to the
pressure sensor chart.
9 Lid Switch
Redundancy
Start attempted for a fourth cycle when
the previous three cycles have completed
with backup micro seeing lid open. Could
mean the switches didn’t occur or backup
processor didn’t get the signal because of
lack of connection. See Fault Code 2 as
well.
Open and close the lid to clear
the fault.
Check harness and connectors
that go to the lid switch.
If the fault will not clear, replace
the lid switch.
