Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019re not alone, and the solution is easier than you might think. When this error pops up, it usually means there\u2019s a problem with the thermistor (sometimes called the thermostat) or with the main control board. Even if you\u2019ve never repaired an appliance before, you\u2019ll find the process manageable. By the end, you\u2019ll have your washer back in action and your laundry routine running smoothly again.<\/span>\r\n\r\n[lwptoc numeration=\"none\"]\r\n<p style=\"font-size:14.5px;margin:14px 0;font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,sans-serif\"><a href=\"#app-safety-notes\">Full safety notes below<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why the Thermistor Matters<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thermistor in your washer plays a critical role by monitoring water temperature and sending that data to the control board. When it fails, your washer can\u2019t read temperatures properly, which can lead to error codes, cycle interruptions, or complete shutdowns.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A flashing thermostat error code is the washer\u2019s way of telling you:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not getting the right resistance reading from the thermistor.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or the main control board is misinterpreting the signal.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By testing these parts, you can quickly narrow down the cause and fix the problem.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Thermistors Fail<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thermistors, like most electronic components, wear out over time. Common reasons include:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat stress from repeated cycles and fluctuating water temperatures.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moisture exposure can corrode connectors or wiring.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manufacturing limits, parts naturally degrade after years of use.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacing the thermistor restores accurate temperature readings and clears the error code, keeping your washer running reliably.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When to Replace the Main Control<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your thermistor tests correctly but the error persists, the main control is the likely cause. Controls can fail from power surges, wear, or internal component breakdowns. While this guide focuses on the thermistor, knowing that the control is the next part to check keeps your troubleshooting complete.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tools You\u2019ll Need<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before starting, gather the tools you\u2019ll use during the repair:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1\/4-inch nut driver<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multimeter (for testing resistance)<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Putty knife<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety First<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always unplug the washer or switch off the breaker before you start. The only time you\u2019ll reconnect power is for specific tests. Electrical safety should always be your top priority.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Testing the Thermistor<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is checking whether the thermistor is still working.<\/span>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access the console: Use your 1\/4-inch nut driver to remove the three screws securing the top of the console.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rotate the console forward to expose the control board.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locate the connector: Find the three-wire connector with pink, black, and white wires.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disconnect it from the main control.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set your multimeter: Switch the meter to resistance mode (symbol looks like an upside-down horseshoe, or \u03a9).<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test the thermistor: Place one probe on the black wire and the other on the white wire.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At a room temperature of about 77\u00b0F, you should see around 47,000 ohms.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evaluate the reading: If resistance is within \u00b110%, the thermistor is good.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If resistance is outside that range, the thermistor has failed.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Considering the Main Control<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the thermistor tests correctly but the error code still shows, the issue likely lies with the main control board. While this guide focuses on the thermistor replacement, it\u2019s important to know that the control is the next logical culprit if the thermistor is healthy.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Removing the Thermistor<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your test shows the thermistor has failed, it\u2019s time to replace it.<\/span>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disconnect wires: Unplug the pink wire from the pressure switch.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disconnect all wires from the control board and set the board aside.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove the front panel: Use your putty knife about 3\u20134 inches from each corner at the top to release the locking tabs.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rotate the panel forward, lift it up, and set it aside.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove the top panel: With the 1\/4-inch nut driver, remove the screws at the front corners. Lift the lid.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press up on the lid switch from underneath while pressing in the locking tab. Rotate the switch and push it down through the opening.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set the top panel aside.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access the thermistor: Remove the 1\/4-inch screws along the bottom edge of the console bottom plate.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rotate the plate to reach the fill funnel mounting screws.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li

Thermistor<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now it\u2019s time to put in the replacement.<\/span>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span

components: Secure the fill funnel with its screws.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rotate the console bottom plate back into position and secure it with the 1\/4-inch screws.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slide the top panel back into place and secure it at the front corners.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feed the lid switch back into its slot, rotate to lock, and press until the tab clicks.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reinstall the front panel by aligning it with the hooks at the bottom and snapping it into place.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reconnect wiring: Reconnect the wires to the control and the pressure switch.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reinstall the console and secure it with the screws removed at the start.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plug the washer back in.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5: Testing the Repair<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With everything reassembled, run a test cycle.<\/span>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start a normal wash or rinse cycle.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch to confirm the error code no longer appears.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure the washer fills, agitates, and spins without interruption.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the error is gone and cycles run normally, the thermistor replacement was successful.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span
