The True Meaning Behind Your Appliance Error Code

Error codes can be both a perk and a frustration for owners of modern-day appliances. Your appliances use error or fault codes to inform you when something is wrong. If you are unaware of the code's meaning, you can't identify the problem or resolve it. It is similar to trying to communicate with someone who speaks a foreign language without a dictionary or translator.

When you get a fault code stop using that appliance immediately. If you're receiving the code, chances are your appliance has stopped working independently! The next step is to determine the actual meaning of the code.

Washing machine error codes can indicate various issues, including problems with water supply, drainage, or drum balance.

Usually, these error codes appear on a digital screen on the appliance. You can find the meaning in the appliance manual to get the specific problem and potential solution. Don't panic if you don't have your manual. You can always call Atlas Appliance Repair at 772-238-0207 and we can help you over the phone.
