Washer stops and displays CE; may occur during heavy loads or spin.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Overloaded drum, Binding drum or bearings, Shorted stator windings, Main PCB overcurrent detection

Safety first: Unplug the washer before inspecting mechanical components.

Reduce load: Remove some items and run a smaller test load to see if CE recurs.
Check drum rotation: Spin the drum by hand. If it feels rough, noisy, or stiff, bearings or foreign objects may be causing drag.
Inspect stator: Remove rear panel and check stator for burnt windings or signs of overheating.
Professional repair: CE often indicates motor or bearing issues. If load reduction does not help, contact a technician for stator or bearing replacement and PCB testing.
