Speed-queen Washer Error Codes — Complete Error Code Diagnosis Guide

Eight Speed Queen washer codes are decoded here, and Lr is the one that separates this machine from most: a locked rotor, where the motor cannot turn because something is jammed between tub and basket, the drive has failed, or the gearcase has. nF and oF are opposite fill faults — no water arriving against a valve that will not shut. nd is a drain that is not clearing. E2 is the water temperature sensor out of range, E3 is a heater relay fault, dL is the door lock, and Ob is an off-balance load that cannot reach final spin.

A commercial-grade machine changes what the guides check first, and the transmission is why: Lr asks whether the basket turns by hand before any electrical part is considered, because a gearcase and a drive motor produce the same refusal. nF and nd both start at things that cost nothing — taps, inlet screens, the coin trap, the hose run — and Ob ends at load distribution, levelling and suspension rather than at a control fault. E3 is separated from E2 by whether the element or the sensor is the one misbehaving.

oF is the code to answer at the taps rather than the panel, since a valve stuck open keeps filling after the display is cleared. E3 deserves the same caution for a different reason: a relay stuck closed can leave the element energised, and an element shorted to ground is a breaker-off condition. The drain filter, strike and levelling feet stay homeowner ground; the control board and heater circuit do not. EasyBear repairs Speed Queen washers across Sacramento and the Bay Area.
