SOURCE: no manual ...no power- how do I work this machine? I'm able to lock/unlock it

THIS IS THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO
Check that the unit is plugged into a working outlet and for
blown fuses.

This must be done by a THECHNICIAN SPETIALIST

Unplug washer or disconnect power.
Check continuity of line cord and line fi lter.
Check harness connections to CCU.

Plug in washer or reconnect power.
Check the touch-pad/LED assembly by selecting different
cycles and changing the modifi ers and options available to
confi rm the touch-pad/LED is responding.
Unplug the harness to UI and check with a DVM or VOM on
Connector UIP3 if correct voltage is present.
Pin 1: -5V
Pin 2: 0V (connection to Line or neutral is present in
normal operation).
Pin 3: -12V
If voltage not present and CCU is powered correctly (line
cord and linefi lter has continuity) the CCU is broken.
Disassemble the UI and check harness to UI and
Interconnection on UI between Center and Right Board.

The LOC code merely means the control responded and locked the door. You'll find a tech sheet under the top panel of the machine to help guide you thru the diagnostic process, which is fairly involved.

LOC means it thinks the control panel is locked. This gives the ERR indication when you push the buttons. To unlock it you need to hold down the Options and Select buttons together until it reacts.

I know this may seem silly but - On the top right back corner of your washer hit it with medium force with your fist, this helps.

It appears your timer/main controller has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.
