Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for your replacement part needs
How do I troubleshoot error codes on a DC97-16350U washing machine?
If your washer is displaying an error code, the issue may be related to load balance, drainage, water supply, or door operation. Here are some common error codes and troubleshooting steps:
- UR / UB (Unbalanced Load): Redistribute the laundry evenly inside the drum and ensure the washer is level on the floor. Worn suspension rods, such as the DC97-16350U suspension rod assembly, can also contribute to this issue.
- 4C / NF (Water Supply Error): Verify that the water supply valves are fully open and check the inlet hoses for kinks or blockages.
- 5C / SE (Drain Error): Inspect the drain hose and pump filter for clogs that may prevent proper water drainage.
- DC / dE (Door Error): Make sure the washer door is completely closed and that the door latch is functioning correctly.
- LC (Leak Detection): Check for water leaks around hoses, pumps, and connections.
If the error remains after troubleshooting, disconnect power for several minutes and restart the washer. Persistent errors may indicate a worn or damaged component that requires replacement.
