What the F27 Error Code Means
The F27 error code indicates a reversing relay failure. Washing machine motors need to rotate in both directions during the wash cycle — clockwise and counterclockwise — to agitate laundry effectively. When the control board detects that the motor can only rotate in one direction, it stops the programme and displays F27. This points to a fault with the reversing relay or the motor control circuit.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty reversing relay
The relay responsible for switching the motor between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation may have failed, leaving the motor able to spin in only one direction.
Control board fault
A fault on the main control board affecting the motor control circuit can prevent the reversing relay from functioning correctly.
Wiring fault
A loose or damaged connection in the motor wiring harness can cause the motor to operate incorrectly and trigger this error.
Faulty motor
In some cases a fault within the motor itself can prevent it from reversing direction correctly.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Restart the washing machine
Switch the machine off at the mains and leave it unplugged for a few minutes. Reconnect the power, switch back on and restart the programme. A power reset can sometimes clear a temporary relay fault.
If the error persists after a reset, the control board, wiring and motor will need to be inspected by a qualified engineer.
