Technical Description 

Temperature Sensor error 

TE1 

Thermister 

Main PCB 

 

Thermister terminal not connected 
Possible defect : Thermistor , Main PBA  
 

Heater error 

HE 

Open Heater  

Heater Relay 

Main PCB 

Heater terminal not connected Possible defect :  Main Wire-Harness, open  

Heater or Heater Relay, Main PBA  
 

High temperature 

Heating error. 

HE1 

Heater relay 

Main PCB 

Thermister 

Water temperature sensed above 176F during operation Possible defect :  

Thermistor , Main PBA or shorted heater relay 
 

Low-level water error 

9E 

  

Low level Sensor 

Level sensor fails to close after 1.2 gallons of water is metered in. If water is 

present check for level sensor float stuck in empty position or bad switch  
 

Water supply error 

4E 

Flow Meter  
Water Valve 
No Water Supply 

Main PCB does recognize proper or no water flow through flow meter. 

Check supply and water valve   

High temperature 

Water supply error 

4E1 

Incoming Water Temp 

sensed above  

176F 

Faulty Thermister or Main PCB / Incoming water is over 176F 

Drain error 

5E 

Level sensor fails to open 

after 3 minutes of drain 

Evaluate Drain Operation / Possible kinked drain hose / obstruction in  

pump  or sump assembly. If water has drained check for level sensor stuck 

in closed position. 

Over-level Error 

OE 

Water reaches top of level 

sensor container 

Suspect stuck water valve / Faulty flow meter or possible drain issue. 

Leakage error 

LE 

Water Present in Base of 

D/W 

Inspect for leaks / if no leaks present unplug sensor if code goes away 

replace leak sensor if not check harness for short or pinched wire before 

replacing Main PCB 

Button error 

6E2 

Stuck Button 

When a button is pressed continuously for 30 seconds. 

Check panel alignment / Main or Sub PCB failure 

Door open warning 

Door is open in wash or at 

start 

 

Door is not close properly. 

Possible defect : Door lock switch, Main PBA
