Upside down FE error code comes on.
What I have tried:
1. unplug the unit for 1/2 hr
2. cleaned the filter
3. problem persists
The manual is not that helpful which led me to surf the web for answers and hence I found this site.
Any help is highly apprciated before calling for service. BTW, the unit is 2 yrs old.
Model WM2487H*M
It's a 'tE' error code. Looks like a upside down 'f'. 'tE" is a thermistor error. Pretty easy replacement but kinda hard to get to. Check out videos on appliancepartspros.com, repairclinic.com or YouTube.com. The part is less than $10. It's on the bottom front of the tub. If you follow the videos closely and know where the thermistor is located, you can tip your washer on its side and do replacement without the hassle of removing the front of the washer. Good luck.
But U still haven't told us specifically what the issue is with the device. So how can anyone help you?!?!?!?!?!

We have the same problem on our washer - same model as yours. Home Depot has the warranty on this thank goodness we bought it. They replaced the motor and water pump - didn't fix the problem longer than a month. A new repairman has come out and says we need a new heater and thermistor (whatever that is - I checked - not a thermostat but possibly related??) Approx a $300 fix. Good luck.

The error code FE refers to the fact that water is overflowing ( normally means the inlet water valve is stuck open and continues to let in water beyond the expected and/or sensed level.. so the water pump turns on to drain it and keep the level down. This kind of problem would probably warrant a aservice call from a tech since the majority of troubleshooting would require diagnosing the failed component itself and is not something that I recommend you try. There are too many pieces of hardware that have a direct impact on how this works and I highly doubt you want to play the shotgun approach..try this to see if it fixes the problem and if not..try that...
Before calling for service.. try this..
remove or disconect ac power from the washer..let it sit unplugged for at least an hour..then try washing 1 towel at the lowest cold water setting to see if that works ..if it does..repeat the process using only hot water.. if that works... then try the same test using warm water.. ( this test may help determine if the water inlet valve .,.either hot or cold is leaking through it)...
If you still get the FE test..call for service..
BTW..if only one of the two tests fails.. ( Hot water only generates an FE error.. then chances are the hot water inlet solenoid valve assembly is either sticking open or the controls to that are commanding it to remain open.

I am not a repair professional. I am just a 78 year old
man who has been making his own repairs for about
50 years. Therefore the washer ID doesn't mean
much to me. It's been about 55 years since I had
experience with front load washers. However I can
suggest you go to www.applianceaid.com where
they have very good trouble shooting and repair
information on front loaders. I think you'll find what
you need there. You can search for the meaning of
the error code on the site.Don't worry about the
timer, they hardly ever go bad.Good luck with it.
If I have helped you, please rate my advice on fixya.
