ADC Washer Error Code E10

The E10 code means the washer detected an unbalanced load during the final spin cycle. The unbalance micro switch was triggered three times in a row, causing the machine to stop the program. This is a protective measure to prevent damage from excessive drum vibration. Press ESC to exit the program, then redistribute your laundry and try again.

Pressing ESC ends the active program and clears the displayed fault, but if the underlying cause is not addressed, the error will return as soon as the machine reaches the final spin again. Redistributing the load before restarting is essential. If the error keeps appearing even with balanced loads, a mechanical component such as the suspension system or the micro switch itself may need inspection or replacement.

If the cause is simply an uneven load, there is no repair cost involved. If suspension rods or shock absorbers need replacement, parts and labor typically range from around 80 to 200 dollars depending on the specific components and local labor rates. A faulty unbalance micro switch is generally a lower-cost repair, with parts often in the 15 to 50 dollar range, plus any applicable service call fees.

Start by pressing ESC to end the current program. Open the door and manually redistribute the load so items are spread evenly around the drum. If one item is very large or heavy, consider adding a second item to balance it or washing it separately. If the error returns with a balanced load, inspect the suspension rods, shock absorbers, and leveling feet for wear or damage.

The machine stops itself precisely to prevent unsafe operation, so do not attempt to bypass or ignore the error repeatedly. Running the washer with a severe imbalance can accelerate wear on the suspension system, bearings, and drum components over time. Address the cause before continuing to use the appliance regularly.
