Contact the machine manufacturer's customer support and you can ask them what error E5 is you could also ask for new manual and that might have error codes in it , make sure you have serial number and 12 digit number .

SOURCE: user's manual for washing mashine

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Sorry but this forum does not supply manuals direct; it's just made up of ordinary guys and gals, probably at home, with experience of addressing problems ;-0)

You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make) washer manual' and you should be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount. During the process you will be asked for the actual model number!

Good luck,

John C

Yes , the machine can be converted to manual operation but will require a set of timers , switches and wiring so that the independent cycles of the program are controlled by these manual modes.
You will need to wire the motor to a timer, the input and drain to switches. All these functions protected by bypassing the door switch which will reset power only when door is closed.

Hello, Welcome to FixYa. To address your question, the F21 indicates a long drain time has been detected. What that usually really means is the pump filter is clogged.

Hello.

BELOW ARE STEP BY STEP RECOMMENDATION ON HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF YOUR WASHER THAT HAS FAIL TO WORK AS EXPECTED OR GIVE ANY FORM OF ERROR CODE .

However,if you are having problems with either not draining or error code or spinning, with your front load or top load washing machine, then you need to realize that they can be interrelated. Mostly in that if your washer is not draining the water it will not spin at all or at least not properly. There also can be others problems that will stop or slow down the spin, but the water not draining is the most common one.

So, if you are stuck with a washer that is full of dirty stinky water then here are some things to start checking.

First get that shop vac out or a bunch of rags and a bucket. The water needs to go. The shop vac will pull the water out the drain hose. Just remove it from the standpipe and place the nozzle in the hose and pull the water through the pump and into the shop vac. Of course if you cannot pull the water out this way, you already know that the pump is blocked or clogged, then just vac out all the water you can from the inside of the washer.

If all else fails, remove the front cover and take off the hose going from the tub to the pump. Yeah, water will go all over, but that is what the rags and bucket are for.

When the water is gone, you can then pull all the stuff out of the hose and pump, that are causing the problems. Most of these pumps are very easy to take apart and clean out. This will make sure that there isn?t anything inside the pump that can stop it. They are not very strong motors and something like a toothpick may stop it.

Now, where this get tricky is that there are sensors that check the water level and adjust the spin. If your water is not draining, your washer will not spin either.

For many washing machine problems that are drain and spin related, this simple cleaning will solve your problem. But there are other possibilities.

The lid switch is the old problem that keeps raising it?s ugly head on all washers. Bottom line here is that if the washer thinks that the door is open, the things don?t work right. Check out the door switch to make sure it is operating properly.

Make sure the new front load washers are on a good solid level surface. If the machine can move around then the sensors will often sense the movement and not allow the machine to reach full spin speed. Some manufactured bases may not be stable enough to give correct readings to the machine. If your washer is moving around, then fix that problem.

The timer can also be a problem. Many will wear out and then get to a point in the cycle, then not advance any further. Also the computer controlled sequencers can also get glitches and may need to be reset. You can check out the timer by manually advancing it, and the computer reset procedure will be in your manual that you received with your washing machine.

By going through this check list you can check out the problems that most handy persons can handle in the home. To make sure you have a the best chance at a trouble free washing machine, make sure that you do not leave anything et into your washer that will cause it harm or plug it up.

Good luck and thanks for using fixya.

Why does my water won't stop filling?

A few possible causes:

Blocked Water Level Switch: Most top-loading washing machines utilize a pressure switch to tell the water when to shut off during a wash or rinse cycle. If the tube becomes blocked with minerals from hard water or if the switch itself goes bad, the water will never shut off.

Bad Water Valve: Valves at the points where the hot and cold water hoses enter your washing machine control the flow of water into the machine. If these valves become stuck open, or if their seals become lost or compromised, the water will continue to flow into the machine.

Faulty Controls: The controls might fail to acknowledge the input from the pressure switch and never advance from one cycle to another. In some cases, this is a voltage problem, while in other cases the controls themselves are bad and would need to be replaced.

If you've already cleaned and cut the ends of the tube going to the level sensor and the issue persists, it might be best to consult with a professional appliance repair service. They can help diagnose and fix the problem accurately. Please remember to turn off the water supply and unplug the machine before attempting any repairs.

Why my washing machine alway show E5?

You may get better help if you care to provide some details about your machine, such as the brand name and the exact model number.
Different manufacturers have different meanings for error codes.
For example, E5 on some brand could mean the water heater of the machine is not functioning, but on another brand it could mean that the debris filter is clogged!
Let us know if this has been helpful to you.
