Possible Causes

Corrupted firmware on main PCB, Faulty EEPROM chip, Power surge damage, Incompatible replacement control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer. Firmware and EEPROM issues generally require specialized tools.

  • Step 1 – Power reset:
    • Unplug the washer for at least 5–10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge.
    • Plug back in and attempt to start a basic cycle.
  • Step 2 – Check for recent changes:
    • If a control board was recently replaced, verify that the correct Arctic part number was used for this exact model.
  • Step 3 – Surge protection:
    • Consider using a surge-protected outlet to prevent future memory corruption.
  • If E19 persists, the main control board likely needs reprogramming or replacement by an authorized Arctic service center with access to the correct firmware.
