Vision Washer Error Code dr:22

The dr:22 code on a Vision washer indicates an IGBT temperature sensor error. The IGBT is a transistor on the inverter board that controls the motor, and its built-in temperature sensor has been detected as damaged or non-functional. The washer stops operation when this fault is active to prevent further component damage. Resolving this code requires replacing the inverter board.

No, you should not attempt to run the washer while the dr:22 error is displayed. The code indicates the motor control system cannot properly monitor IGBT temperature, which means there is no thermal protection in place during operation. Continued use under this condition risks permanent damage to the inverter board or other electrical components.

A power reset may temporarily clear the dr:22 code from the display, but it will not resolve the underlying hardware fault. Because the error is caused by a physically damaged IGBT temperature sensor on the inverter board, the code will return as soon as the washer attempts to operate again. A permanent fix requires replacing the inverter board.

The recommended repair for the dr:22 error is replacing the inverter board, which involves working with high-voltage electronics inside the washer. While a knowledgeable DIYer comfortable with appliance repair may be able to perform this replacement, it is important to disconnect the washer from power completely before opening the cabinet. If you are not experienced with inverter board replacements, a qualified technician is the safer choice.

Repair costs will depend on the price of the replacement inverter board and whether you hire a technician or complete the repair yourself. Parts for inverter board replacements on washers typically range from $80 to $250, and professional labor can add another $75 to $150 depending on your area. Getting a cost estimate from a local appliance repair service before committing to the repair is a good idea.
