    I magnet is good. Copper conducter is still look new. Then its Door Safety switch. I buy the spare part from Shopee and Fix it myself. Because of PANASONIC wants me to Pre-order it and wait for 3-4weeks.

The "U12" is due to the magnet that is attached at the tip of the lid. the magnet acts as a sensor that give info whether the lid is closed or open. Either the magnet has come off or it is not aligned properly.

The error code U12 shows in my washing machine ( Panasonic NA-F70GS) because the lid is broken (the part no of lid unit is AXW001G6TP5J and cost around RM 64.00 in Panasonic Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Tel: 03-55437600) or you can also get it in Tong Kong (SS3 or SS2 - Tel: 03-78755946).

    where is spesific location of that switch?

  • Lanz Sahar Apr 23, 2019

    1. Remove the lid.(turn off power 1st)
    2. Remove the inlet water hose
    3. Remove the top cover
    4. U can see the sensor next to water pump. The sensor connect to the small rod on the lid hinge
    5. Check and service the copper plate inside the sensor assembly

Above is a link for a service manual.
U12 is a heating element or drive, electronic fault, it also maybe the thermistor or thermostat itself, however without examining the unit it is hard to tell?
If you wish to DIY, then one must obtain and use the service manual to troubleshoot and isolate the problem with a view to repair. use the site below to assist as well.
http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/appliance/washer/washer.php

Else one should contact a local or head office from Panasonic, and ask for a referral to an authorised service center, when in touch here organise a service call and when they arrive then ask ONLY for a "Quote" for the proposed repairs. When then appraised of the prospective costings, then one can make up ones mind as to what to do, repair or replace?

Hi,my Panasonic top loader NA-F160H6 is also giving me the U12 a d beeping all the time..Please advise

Panasonic washers use the U12 code to indicate that the lid is not closed and can't lock properly. Make sure that the washer is level. Check for any dirt or other item blocking the lid from closing. Gently clean the latch area on the machine and the lid. Some top-loading washers use a magnet to activate the sensor. Check if the magnet fell out of its usual position. Replace it if needed.

I found one manual for the NA-F160H6 here: https://d3lfzbr90tctqz.cloudfront.net/epi/resource/r/lavarropas-automatico-panasonic-11-kg-na-fs11p6sag-inoxidable/9f7d726972873eeafa7fb3c6254d61909b7337c8b25a7d85cb824625cdbac4dc . The error codes are on page 27. Unfortunately, I haven't found a parts list for the machine. (I did find one for the NA-FS80X1 in the Service Manual, https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1251235/Panasonic-Na-Fs80x1.html#manual .)

I hope this helps.
