What is the error code E2 for Magic Chef 2.1 cu. ft. Top Load Portable Washer?

  • Jen Curry
    Jen Curry Jun 20, 2015

    The Magic Chef 2.1 cu ft Portable washer manual says that its a door malfunction and the solution is to open and close the door. That did not work for me so if you're having the same issue that I am it may be that your washer is not level. I had placed mine on top of a few folded throw rugs to stifle noise (I live in an apt, on the second floor) and the rugs were uneven. As soon as i adjusted them, the washer began to work again. I hope this helps.

Had E2 message on mine, the part that pushed the door sensor (on the top left corner) had broken. If u want a temporary fix remove the cover & put something under it to hold it while washing

There is a sensor behind the lid. When closing the lid, press on the sensor on the left side of the back cover. often does not touch the sensor when closing the lid. Look for the problem there

I put this answer in the comments but re-posting here because I didn't know what I was doing : )

Probably something caught inthe pump. Will have to remove pump and take obstruction out. Only other thing I can think of is the pump ran tight and would have to be replaced

SOURCE: Cycle stops - F error code

I am having the same problem with the "F" flashing and a beep but no numbers. The manual only says to hit the stop button then the start again. It doesn't give you a problem. It then says if this does not work to call a repair man. Mine is only two years old and we loved. I have never had any problem with it but every review I have read says differently and they seem to happen around the two year mark. It seems they have a malfunction timer that goes off at the two year mark. If you find a solution please post again.

SOURCE: Haier Top Load Washer doesn't spin

Hi
There can be two possibilities,one if it has a belt, it is either stretched or slipping or if it doesnt have a belt then there is a clutch like device between the motor and the basket, which is either broke or cracked.
Or follow this easy steps...
Unplug the washer and turn off the water faucets.
Disconnect the water hoses and the drain hose and pull the washer away from the wall, leaving yourself enough room to work behind the appliance.
Lay an old towel down to kneel on and soak up any water that leaks from the hoses.
Remove the rear access panel.
Locate the motor. The rubber drive belt goes around a pulley wheel attached to the motor.
Press on the belt. If it gives more than ¾ inch or so, it needs to be tightened.
Loosen the mounting nut for the motor and push the entire motor to increase the tension on the belt.
Hold the motor in place and tighten the mounting nut.
Make sure you don't tighten the belt too much or it will break. You should be able to press on it and feel it give just slightly.
Replace the drive belt if it shows signs of wear.

Thanks for contacting fixya.com

Testimonial: "Thanks! I guess you're right. The belt seems to be too loose and shows signs of wearing. Already ordered new one. Thanks again!"

Magic Chef RB15FA0AA Refrigerator I have this refrigerator and it still works fine. I would like to know it's total cu ft capacity. Also what the refrigerator and freezer each cu ft capacity is.

After some work online...I found this advertisement buried among a bunch of other ads:
Magic Chef RB15-1A: Top-freezer style with 14.6 cubic ft. capacity and optional ice maker -- $439.

So, as I suspected the "15" in the model number is the cubic feet (total I would say). The 14.5 is probably actual, with the unit "rated" as a 15 CF.

Naturally, to find the cu. ft of the freezer, measure in inches then multiply the width X height X depth and divide that resulting rather large number by 1728 to get your cubic feet of the freezer.

You could also do the same with the refrigerated section, and add the results together and they should be near 14.5 total.

MAGIC CHEF 5 YRS OLD WONT AGITATE

Ours started doing the very same thing. I took the top off and found that a mouse had chewed a hole in the vacuum tube. I replaced it with a 3/16" ID small engine gas line hose I bought at local implement dealer. Works like a charm.
