I have a U5 error code and everything checks ok, so replaced the main control and out of balance sensor. It still kicks up new code right away in a drain and spin (within a minute), what else can cause this error code ??
replace the wire harness due to instant sensor errors is due to open circuit or no voltage feedback to the main board

I need the part number for the vibration sensor. Model number WKE 100 HVA.
You need to double check for your product code but the common on for that model is EBD48922821.
I have come across this a few times and it’s usually “was working great and it’s been happening more frequently”. So in that case where it’s most likely not the sensor or the board or the harness, it is the connector coming apart during spin cycle just enough to kill power to the sensor and throw the code. You can simply put a zip tie around the connector and then verify it’s good by doing a rine and spin with 6-8 towels. If it’s the sensor or board or harness then it’ll throw the code despite thus modification.
Good information / but what’s the part #
It can vary by model. Please use the parts system for lookup.
Very good helpfuf
