About

ErrorCode.info explains the error codes that home appliances show on their displays. You type the code from your washer, dishwasher, dryer or oven and get one page that answers three questions: what the code means, what you can safely check yourself, and when it’s time to call a technician.

How the pages work

Every code page follows the same order, so you can find what you need while standing next to the machine:

  • The meaning of the code in one or two sentences, and whether it’s usually a DIY fix.
  • Quick checks to try first, the ones that clear the code most often.
  • The likely causes, what each one looks like and where to check.
  • A step-by-step fix with safety notes where a step needs care.
  • The point where DIY ends and a technician should take over.

Codes can mean different things on different brands, and sometimes on different models of the same brand. Each page names the models it applies to and the other ways the code appears. Your owner’s manual is the final word for your exact model.

Safety

Unplug the appliance, or switch it off at the circuit breaker, before any check. Shut off water before you disconnect a hose. Never work on gas parts yourself. If a step feels unsafe, stop and call a qualified technician.
