Code Error Solution

Unbalanced load

  1. Rearrange the laundry in the machine to distribute the weight more evenly. Avoid overfilling the washing machine if possible.
  2. Check with a spirit level whether the machine is tilted. If your washing machine is unbalanced, you can usually fix it by moving its feet. If not, simply place shims under the feet of the washing machine to level it.
  3. The machine can rotate at full speed with a slightly unbalanced load without any vibrations if the balance ring is in good working order. If this part is defective, the appliance will shake violently during operation. The best course of action in this situation is to replace the balance ring.

Washing machine does not fill with water or fills slowly

Start by making sure there is water in the house by using a secondary water source. Make sure the water valves on the water supply hoses are fully open. It may be helpful to turn off the water and then turn it back on as often as possible. The water supply may freeze if the temperature is below freezing. Check the water supply hoses for kinks, clogs or other damage. We recommend replacing the hoses every 5 years. Request Service

The drive motor is overloaded or consumes too much current

Remove a few items from the washing machine and repeat the wash cycle if the tub is completely full. The drive motor may be overloaded due to a heavy load. We advise you to follow the load size recommendations for your washing machine to maintain its performance. Rotate the spin basket manually. Something may be stuck between the wash tub and the outer tub if it cannot move freely or if you hear a crushing or grinding sound. The wiring, drive motor, and inverter control board will need to be checked and possibly replaced if the above fixes do not resolve the problem. Request Service

The drive motor should be replaced if the wiring is good. The inverter control board may also need to be replaced. It is recommended to test the new drive motor before replacing the control board. If you are not confident performing complex repairs, seek help from an appliance repair company. Request Service

The method of elimination is identical. Request Service

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR APPLIANCE REPAIRS

Kathryn Bragg

Superior Appliance Service is reliable. My range was recently repaired. Wow! The technician came on time. He’s accurate and gave a fair estimate. This is a team I’ll remain with and recommend.

Jimmy Smith

Satisfied overall. After a few days with a leaking washing machine, I booked a next-day appointment with them. A technician arrived the following day and did his best. He also performed some maintenance on my dryer and didn’t charge me for it, plus provided tips for maintaining them in excellent shape. I’d utilize them again since their charges appeared industry-standard.

Derrick French

Andrew from Superior Appliances came out within three hours of our call. The engineer was courteous and explained everything before starting. Bravo!

Jack Nunez

Fair prices, money-saving incentives, and qualified personnel are offered. To sum it up, I’m delighted with Superior Appliance Service and would suggest them. Well-informed and customer-focused. They care about everyone they’ve helped.

Calvin Summers

My front load washer gasket needed replacing, but Scott suggested a much better and less expensive solution. So pleased. My advice is only given by people who value their customers. Excellent appliance repair specialist.

Jimmy Rivera

If they can repair my damaged Bosch washer, they can do anything. My washer broke for more than a month, and other firms told me to purchase a new one. I had no doubt theycould fix any appliance until they did.

Maria Vargas

Excellent service! On time, the professional explained everything. He spent many hours replacing my faulty washer and dryer, yet the service charge was still extremely fair. Unexpected? I’d hire Superior Appliance Service again and confidently share positive feedback about them

Whitney Livingston

During the installation, the technician suggested that I put on shoe covers. He was extremely professional and knew what he was doing. He also advised me to throw out the first batch of ice produced by the refurbished ice maker (which I already knew, but the mention was so professional). The company communicates quickly and expertly. Everything was an A+. I’m a difficult customer, but working with Superior Appliances made it simple to keep my gas appliance in good working order.

Theresa Welch

A repairman told me my washing machine’s motor was dead and I shouldn’t try to fix it. Great advice was offered on buying a second. Because I’m so appreciative, I’ve suggested two friends. I’ll use them for another repair. They’re amazing!

31.05.2022
Michelle Joyner

After repairing the washing machine, the technician further checked his work. Yes, he remained for the whole wash cycle. He was extremely professional and quick to my first inquiry, getting as much information as possible before coming to our home to fix our new fridge. The specialist came on schedule, disguised the issue and solved it promptly.

Called this company to do some work on my dishwasher in my house they came in a timely fashion. They tried there best to repair my dishwasher but they couldn’t so I had to end up buying a new one and they refunded me my money. Great customer service I would highly recommend this company.
