The symptom this code usually arrives with

Urgent above the ground floor Washer leaking
Water under the machine, at the door, or behind it. In a closet on the fourteenth floor a small leak is somebody else's ceiling, which changes how quickly it is worth acting.
- Water on the floor in front
- Water only during the fill
- The machine has stopped over water in its base

What this one means
There is water in the base of the machine, or it is leaking. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.
What the code covers
A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:
- Any leak that reaches the base pan
Worth doing before you call
- Turn the water tap off, before anything else
Then what
Like the dishwasher, this machine catches water in its base and stops rather than continuing. In a laundry closet above somebody else's ceiling that is worth a great deal, and it is why the lockout should be left in place rather than cleared.
This code is published for washers. The full list of codes has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
