How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing the control panel or top cover.

  • Power reset: Disconnect power for 5 minutes to allow the control to fully discharge, then reconnect and try again. Sometimes transient faults clear with a reset.
  • Inspect control connections: Remove the top or rear control cover. Carefully unplug and replug all connectors to the main control board and user interface board. Look for bent pins, corrosion, or loose plugs.
  • Check for moisture: Ensure there is no water or condensation on or around the control board. If present, dry thoroughly and identify the source of the leak (often from the dispenser or vent).
  • Visual board inspection: Look for burned components, cracked solder joints, or darkened areas on the PCB. If damage is visible, the control board should be replaced.
  • Professional diagnosis: If reseating connectors and resetting power does not clear E01, further diagnosis with UniMac service tools may be required. Consider contacting a qualified technician to test the control and interface boards.
