Intermittently one or more of these codes will pop up during a wash cycle. Wash does not stop, it progresses on and finishes.

I've cleared fault history, sometimes 5 wash cycles no codes.

Then 6th wash I'll check fault history after wash is completed and F7E7, F7E6 and F7E1 will pop up. Are these machines famous for broken wires anywhere?

I have factory service manual, just hoping appliance techs might see a pattern of broken wire

Yes, look for any frayed or shorted wires inside the control console and at the bottom of your washer near the motor, shift actuator, and capacitor, and check the wire harness down there too.

Just wanted to update. I tore machine completely apart and checked continuity on every wire of harness, all was well. Ohm checked every component, fine. Slightly bent motor pins at connector and reassembled machine. Ran wash cycle and immediately got f9e1 (long drain) could hear drain pump running but wasn't moving water. Replaced drain pump and washer is rock solid now

TIPS:

-washer would throw f9e1 code but never store it in fault history.

-If there's water in tub and drain pump is running but not moving water, take drain hose and LOWER it into 5 gallon bucket. If water starts flowing then, pump is weak/bad. Took me forever to notice this

Hope this helps in some way

Thanks for letting everyone know.
