Washer beeping/alarm sounding

When a washer is beeping, the alarm usually points to a fault code or a temporary power problem. Check the display first, since a washing machine beeping or washer alarm sounding often indicates a code that identifies the problem. Use the owner's manual or search the code for the correct repair steps. If the washer keeps beeping after a power outage, the display may show codes such as "PO" or "PF." Reset the appliance by turning off the washer's circuit breaker for several minutes, then restore power. A power surge can also leave a washer beeping randomly or prevent normal operation. Press the indicated reset button, or unplug the power cord for a few minutes before plugging it back in. If the alarm returns, inspect the control panel, user interface board, main control board, wire harness, and ribbon cable for damage or loose connections. Some models may also need a replacement control board after an electrical event. Enter your washing machine's model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific washer.

01 - Check Fault Codes

When a washer is beeping, a fault code will usually be displayed to help diagnose the issue. Refer to the owner's manual or do an on-line search for fault code designations and possible solutions.

02 - Power outage reset

After a power outage the washer display may beep and/or flash a code like PO for power outage or PF for power failure. Try turning the breaker off for a few minutes then back on to reset the washer or refer to the owner's manual for specific resetting information.

03 - Power reset

After a power surge or power outage, washer operation could be temporarily affected, resulting in a beeping or other alarm sound. In most cases you need to press a button to reset the alarm. Also, full operation can sometimes be restored through a power reset by either unplugging the appliance's power cord for a few minutes and then plugging it back in or switching off the circuit breaker for the washer then switching it back on.
