Hi

The issue can be with the broken/worn out belt that should be replaced. However, please post back with the nos. that you see after E.. so that I can tell you what this error code exactly means.

Not using High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Too much detergent was added.
Using too much 2X or 3X HE detergent
Solutions for over-sudsing:

• Always use HE detergent in an HE washer. It is formulated to be a low-sudsing detergent and made especially for HE washers.
• Be sure to use the correct amount of detergent. HE washers require only a small amount of detergent. Note: This amount may need to be adjusted for water hardness, load size, and soil level.
• If using a 2X or 3X concentrated HE detergent, much less detergent is needed. If suds are seen, reduce the amount used.
• If using a water softener, less detergent.
• Make sure both Hot to Cold water hoses are connected properly at the faucets and at the washer.

E4A = The drying time has exceeded program time for cycle. Press Pause Cancel and SELECT buttons for 6 seconds to exit test modes. Position cycle selector to NORMAL, temperature selector to HIGH HEAT and touch START. Check for any thing that would extend dry times such as: no heat, restricted vent, blower fan blade broken or loose, dryer installed in closetwith solid door, or bad connection in moisture sensor bar cir cuit or dirty bars. If dryer operates normally but code returns, replace electronic control.
68 = One of the keys (buttons) is stuck closed (active). Enter function testmode and perform key (button) test to determine which button is at fault. Carefully free the and perform the test again. If button is free but the key struck code still exists, replace electronic control

you can try to reset it by unpluging it for about 15-20 mins to let it reset itself hope that work.

This has been going on for me, too, for over a year. Replaced control board and does not seem to make a difference.

Mine was too doing the same thing every now and then it would work depending if i changed the cycles around. I finnally pulled it out to where i could work on it. pulled off the back plate bottom was still partly full of water so tiped it on its side. undid the black hose going from the bottom of the drum. Undid the screw that tightens the clamp this is the fatter part of the black hose , inside this hose is a tube u can slip out it was right full, im gussing it was the filter. Put it back together and works fine now.

Hello,

Washing machines feature a control lock that, when enabled, renders the buttons on the control panel inoperable. The control lock is a safety device that prevents accidental operation. The lock was created to keep children from using the washing machine unsupervised, which could lead to injury. Before you can use the washing machine again, you need to disable the control lock.
Instructions Below

1. 1 Press any of the buttons on the control panel to see if the buttons are operational or check to see if the "Control Locked" indicator light is lit. If the control panel is operational, you may mistakenly lock the door.
   
2. 2 Press and hold the "End of Cycle Signal" button for approximately three seconds until the "Control Locked" indicator light shuts off. The control panel is now unlocked, and the washer is ready for use.
   
3. 3 Lock the washer again by pressing and holding the "End of Cycle Signal" button until the "Control Locked" indicator light turns on.
   

Thank you and thanks for using fixy.

Water enters the washer through the water inlet valves to the soap dispenser on the left front of the machine and then enters the washer from there. If you are saying that after the wash cycle is complete and water is still entering the washer, the problem would be a defective water inlet valves. These valves should shut off the water completely if the washer is not calling for water. It requires electricity to open the valves. If you unplug your washer after it completes a wash cycle and water is still entering the washer, then these valves need to be replaced. It is the part where the water hoses connect to the back of the machine. Just remove the hoses from the machine, remove the back panel and you should be able to replace or have it replaced it easily. It should be easy to find at any appliance supply house. Hope this helps.

E20 = Clogged drain pump.

Tools I used: vice grips, both phillips and standard screw drivers, flash light and an 8mm socket with ratchet.

I solved this problem by removing the rear oval type cover by removing the 6 phillips screws that hold it on, but first thing is to unplug the machine! I unplugged the electrical connection going to the pump. Then I removed the hose closest to me by removing the pinch clamp with a pair of vice grips. Then I removed the two screws holding the pump down to the frame of the washer (8mm socket). Then I removed the farthest hose by removing the pinch clamp with the vice grips. Once this was done I took out the pump. The hose entering the pump contained a sock, debit card and thirty-five cents!

Once I removed all of the debris I reversed the order but this time I used an automotive hose clamp which makes re-assemble waaay easier!!! (Saves about 30 mins) Total repair time took me 1 hour, but if you use an aftermarket hose clamp instead of the pinch clamp on the hose coming into the pump this will save you at least 30 minutes because it is soo difficult to put back on because of the tight space.

One-hour, a minor cut and $2.35 for the clamps later all is fixed!

this is usually affiliated with a drain pump issue.Check and make sure that all hoses to and from the drain pump are not blocked to include the one that comes from the bottom of the tub to the drain pump

It means the control is locked to avoid having someone accidentally start or stop the dryer. Press and hold the Options and Select buttons for 10 seconds or until the “LOC” on the display is cleared. Locking the control is done the same way it is unlocked.
