For the documented Toshiba AW-E900LM top-load model, the alternating hyphens and numbers are part of the code. E2-1 and E2-3 should not be reduced to an incomplete E2.
Read the full sequence
The official Malaysian AW-E900LM manual shows codes that alternate between a prefix and a second group. Record a short sequence or note both states before changing the program. The model is the verification context, not a guarantee for all Toshiba units.
Choose the matching check
- E1 points to the drain on this top-loader, with its outlet design.
- E2-1 and E2-3 distinguish an open lid from a lid that is not fully closed or is locked.
- E3-1 and E3-2 share the load balance and support check.
- E5 points to the water supply.
Resuming may also switch between signals. An instruction to close the lid for E2-1 does not replace the lock check for E2-3.
If your machine is a front-loader or its reference does not match this documentation, consult its own table. Do not copy hose heights from a machine with a pump to this architecture, and do not infer compatibility from industrial family alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I also note the number that appears after E2?
Yes. In the AW-E900LM manual, E2 alternates with -1 or -3, and that second part distinguishes an open lid from a closing or lock issue.
Does E1 mean no water in every Toshiba model?
No. On AW-E900LM, E1 points to the drain. Another platform needs its own manual; the water supply should not be chosen from a generic table alone.
Can E3-1 and E3-2 be checked together?
In the manual consulted, both refer to checking the load and support. Still keep the suffix observed when logging the issue.
Where do I verify the table for my platform?
In the user manual that matches the full model number on the nameplate. The table used here belongs to the Malaysian-distribution AW-E900LM.
If the panel alternates, send both images to support; the number after the prefix is part of the identification.
