Error Code F7E1

Basket speed fault — the main control cannot determine the speed of the basket or the speed changes too quickly.

? What Causes This

Stripped plastic hub under the wash plate, faulty shift actuator, or issues with the drive system clutch.

How to Fix It

  1. Spin the wash plate by hand to check for looseness.
  2. Ensure the shift actuator can shift between agitate and spin modes.
  3. If the hub is stripped, use a spanner nut wrench to remove the wash plate and replace the stripped plastic hub with an all-metal hub.
