Whirlpool washer error code · Ofb
Unbalanced or not spinning
This is a washing-machine fault guide. The code above comes from the washer display; it is not the model number. Separate a load problem from leveling or a likely internal fault.
Stop immediately for smoke, burning odor, sparking, violent movement, or water near electrical parts. Do not touch a wet plug.
Before you begin
Choose your washer model
Select the washer family first, then choose a supported model. If it is not listed, you can still use the general safety checks.
