Appliance spray paint is a great way to cover up any chips and scratches that have appeared on your appliances. Instead of replacing the part entirely, this is an easy fix. This is also a great way to give a fresh new look to any handles or areas that have discoloring due to wear. Make sure to clean the area before you begin and wear a protective mask for safety. Give the can a good shake and spray a few inches away from the surface. Apply the paint until the area is fully covered as desired. Wait until the paint has dried before using the appliance.

My spin cycle quit and lid was stuck in the locked position. I replaced the lid lock switch. I've noticed a slight smoke coming from one of the connections on the control board when I turn the power on. I'm sure the control board is fried.

F3E2 Code. Not sure what that means on this particular model because that code means different things for different models. One said pressure sensor another said temperature sensor. Just wondering if you could stair me in the right direction?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Ralph, thank you for getting in touch. The F3E2 error code is a temperature sensor error. If the water temperature sensor reading is out of the following range: 14°F to 230°F or 10°C to 110°C, the control will shut down the machine and give you the F3E2 error. If the power cord is accessible, try resetting the machine by unplugging and re-plugging the power cord to the wall outlet. Restart the cycle. If the problem persists, replace the water inlet valve, part number PS12349461. The water temperature sensor is a part of the water inlet valve. Good luck with your repair!
