Panasonic Washing Machine U13 Error – Out Of Balance
Description:
Panasonic washing machine U13 error is an indication that the machine was not able to go into a spin cycle due to not been able to balance the clothes evenly around the drum. U13 error can be caused by a very small load that is not big enough to spread around the drum or a load that is too big. A stretched drive belt can cause slippage on the motor pulley and make the machine give a false out of balance error. This is another very common Panasonic washing machine error codes, it is fairly easy for washing machines to go out of balance.
Action To Take:
- Make sure the load is not too small or too big.

If the tap is on and the hose is not kinked but no water is filling into the drum, then the water inlet valves would need replacing.
Action to take:
- Make sure tap is on and hose is not kinked.
- Check the screen mesh in the inlet hose for sand.
- Replace water inlet valves.
Panasonic Washing Machine H01 Error – Water Level Sensor Error
Description:

Panasonic Washing Machine H09 Error – Communication Error
Description:
Panasonic washing machine H09 error indicates a communication error between the main PCB and user interface PCB/Display module. This could be a simple error to fix, it could be fixed by a bad connection.
Action to take:
- Check connection between main PCB and user interface PCB.
- Replace Main PCB.
- Replace User input PCB.
Panasonic Washing Machine H17 Error – Thermistor Error
Description:
Panasonic washing machine H17 error is a temperature sensor error. H17 on Panasonic washing machine indicates that the main control board is receiving an abnormal signal from the water thermistor. It could be open circuit or short circuiting, best to check it with a multi-meter.
Action to take:
- Check wiring harness to the thermistor.
- Measure resistance of thermistor, it should be 12K ohm at 20 degrees C.
Panasonic Washing Machine H21 Error – Unexpected Increase In Water Level
Description:
Panasonic washing machine H21 error indicates an unexpected rise in water level in the drum. H21 can be cause by something simple as too much foam in the machine or it could be a faulty water inlet valve that is not closing properly and letting water into the drum. If it is a constant foam issue, try using different detergent.
Action to take:
- If too much foam can be seen in the drum, run a rinse cycle to clear foam.
- Monitor operation of inlet valves for proper operation and replace if needed.
Panasonic Washing Machine H23 Error – Heater Relay Error
Description:
Panasonic washing machine H23 error indicates that there is a malfunction with the heater relay on the main PCB. Sometimes a faulty heating element can cause this error to appear, check the heating element, wiring harness and connections before replacing the main PCB. Or if you are handy a new relay can be soldered onto the main PCB.
Action to take:
- Inspect wiring harness and heating element.
- Replace main PCB or heater relay on main PCB.
Panasonic Washing Machine H27 Error – Door Lock Error
Description:
Panasonic washing machine H27 error indicates a malfunction of the door lock. Error h27 could be caused be a bad connection or a break in the wiring harness. Make sure to inspect those first.
Action to take:
- Check connection from main PCB to door lock.
- Replace door lock.
- Replace main PCB.
Panasonic Washing Machine H29 Error – Fan Error on Main PCB
Description:
Panasonic washing machine H29 error points to a problem with the cooling fan on the main PCB. The main PCB has detected that the speed of the fan has decreased bellow 1200rpm. Before replacing the fan, check the fan connection and build up of dust on the fan.
Action to take:
- Check fan connection.
- Inspect for foreign objects that could interfere with fan operation.
- Replace fan.
- Replace main PCB.
Panasonic Washing Machine H35 Error – Drum Belt Error
Description:
Panasonic washing machine H35 error points to a broken or slipped off belt. The main PCB has detected that the motor rotation stops too fast, meaning the belt is not connecting motor and drum pulleys and there is no continuation of rotation of the motor once the main PCB stops running the motor.

Action to take:
- Inspect the wiring to the 3D sensor.
- Replace 3D sensor.
- Replace main PCB.
Panasonic Washing Machine H43 Error – Water Leak
Description:
Panasonic washing machine H43 error lets you know that there is a water leak and the flood switch in the base of the machine has been activated. Disconnect the machine from the power point. Remove the plastic trip at the bottom front of the machine, soak up any water in the base pan of the machine with a sponge. Once the water has been removed from the base pan, the machine should be able to start a cycle, runt he machine with the plastic trim removed and observe for any leaks. Do not put your hands inside the body of the machine while the machine is plugged into the power point. Washing machine leak very often and H43 is one of the most common Panasonic washing machine error codes that can pop up from time to time.

Panasonic Washing Machine H44 Error – Motor Vibration Error
Description:
Panasonic washing machine H44 error appears when the drum motor detects excessive vibration on the motor and decreased motor spin speed of more than 100rpm than selected for the spin cycle. Empty the machine and check for free movement of the drum by spinning it by hand, sometimes small laundry items or foreign objects like coins can get trapped between the tub and drum causing vibration and extra friction that slows down the drum. When spinning the drum by hand if vibration and resistance can be felt, remove the belt from the drum to isolate the problem to the drum or motor.
Action to take:
- Inspect the drum for foreign objects.
- Remove belt and check the motor and drum for free and smooth rotation.
Panasonic Washing Machine H46 Error – Water Leak Sensor Error
Description:
