Examples: not draining E15 leak not heating
Whirlpool Washer Error Code F15 (Drum Position Sensor)
F15 means the control board lost track of drum position, usually a loose sensor connector rather than a mechanical failure.
Whirlpool Washer Error Code F13 (Dispenser or Door Lock)
F13 points to the detergent dispenser on most models, sometimes the door lock depending on the exact washer.
Whirlpool Washer Error Code F09 (Water Level Error)
F09 means the washer can’t read water level correctly during fill or mid-cycle, usually a pressure switch or hose problem.
Whirlpool Washer Error Code F08 (Won’t Heat Water)
F08 means the washer isn’t heating water to the expected temperature, usually a failed heating element or tripped safety thermostat.
Whirlpool Washer Error Code F06 (Motor Speed Sensor)
F06 means the control board lost a reliable speed signal from the motor or drum, most often a loose connector or worn belt.
Whirlpool Washer Error Code F05 (Temperature Sensor)
F05 means the Whirlpool washer’s temperature sensor reading is unreliable, usually a connector or wiring issue rather than a bad sensor.
Samsung Washer Error Code LE (Water Level or Leak Error)
LE means the washer’s sensors detected moisture or a water level problem, not necessarily a leak you can see.
Samsung Washer Error Code 5C (No Drain)
5C means the washer isn’t draining. Samsung’s own fix is almost always the drain hose installation, rarely the pump.
Samsung Washer Error Code OE (Overflow)
OE means there’s too much water in the washer. Samsung treats it the same as a drain fault: check the hose and level first.
