Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer.
Inspect motor and harness:
- Follow the inspection steps for F06 and F25 to verify motor windings, tachometer, and harness integrity.
- Ensure all connectors at the motor and control board are fully seated and free of corrosion.
Test spin: After reassembly, run an empty spin cycle. If F31 reappears and mechanical issues are ruled out, the motor control circuitry on the main board is likely defective and the board should be replaced.
