Plain English, the checks in the order that fixes it most often, and the maker's own advice, linked.
Decide: fix it, or call someone
Every code says how hard the fix is, how long it takes and whether it's worth paying for.

Tools
Two tools you won't find elsewhere
For the two questions a code list can't answer: what does my display actually say, and should I pay for the repair?
Display decoder
Tap the bars that are lit on your display and see every code it could be. Built for 5 or S, 0 or O, and the dead segment that turns an E into an F.
Draw your codeRepair or replace?
Put in the quote, the age and the price of a new one. The calculator checks the 50% rule and the cost per year of use, and gives you a straight answer.
Check a quoteNot every code means it's broken
Some codes are the machine protecting itself, or telling you about the load or the detergent. Nothing to repair, and nothing to buy.

Why trust it
Why this site is different
A straight verdict
Every code says whether it's worth repairing, how hard the fix is and when not to bother, including when it isn't a fault at all.
Checked at the source
Brand codes are checked against the manufacturer's own support pages, and those pages are linked from every answer.
Every brand side by side
The same fault has a different code on every brand. Problem pages and tables line them up, so you can find yours from either end.
Nothing to sign up for
No accounts and no pop-ups. The search runs in your browser, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.
