The manual is missing and the manufacturer site buries the answer
When a washing machine flashes "UE" or a printer stops with "0x97," most people are stuck with a code, no manual, and a manufacturer support page that wasn't written for humans. We collect error codes from major brands — LG, Samsung, Epson, Daikin, Whirlpool, Bosch and more — and explain each one the way a knowledgeable friend would, so you can skip an unnecessary service call when the fix is something simple, and know upfront when it genuinely isn't.

Frequently asked questions
What is ErrorCodeDoctor?
A free database of appliance error codes that translates cryptic display codes into plain-English explanations, likely causes, and step-by-step fixes.
Is ErrorCodeDoctor free to use?
Yes, completely. Every page, guide, and search is free with no account required. The site is supported by advertising, not subscriptions.
Who writes the fix guides?
Each code is researched against manufacturer documentation and established repair knowledge, then written up in plain language so you don't need to be a technician to follow it.
Are you affiliated with any appliance manufacturer?
No. ErrorCodeDoctor is an independent, brand-neutral resource, not affiliated with LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Bosch, or any other manufacturer we cover.
Which brands and appliances do you cover?
Major manufacturers including LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Bosch, Daikin, Epson and more, across washers, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners, printers, and other appliance types. Coverage is expanding regularly.
How do you decide the difficulty and cost ratings?
Difficulty reflects the tools, time, and skill a fix typically requires. Cost estimates reflect the usual price of parts if you do the repair yourself — hiring a technician will generally cost more once labor is included.
Can I trust the safety guidance for gas, water, or electrical issues?
Safety-sensitive codes are flagged clearly, and we say upfront when a repair should be left to a licensed professional. When in doubt, always err on the side of calling a technician.
Can I suggest a correction or a new error code?
Yes — reports from real users help keep the database accurate and growing. Send us the details and we'll review it. Contact us.
