Appliance Error Codes: What They Mean and When to Call a Technician
Error code guides for LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Bosch, GE, Frigidaire and Electrolux washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges and fridges.
Most modern appliances show a short code when something goes wrong. The code points to the part of the machine that needs attention, which helps you decide whether it is a quick fix, such as a kinked hose or a full filter, or a job for a technician.
Pick your appliance and brand below. Each guide explains what the common codes mean, what you can safely check yourself and when to book a repair. Codes vary by model, so have your model number handy.
Clearing a code over and over hides the fault rather than fixing it. If a code comes back after the safe checks in its guide, stop and book a repair. Gas appliances need a licensed gas technician.
