What it means
OFb means the washer load is out of balance and the washer is attempting a load-balance correction.

- If it stops with the dial flashing, redistribute the load, close the lid, and press START/PAUSE.
- Load items loosely and evenly around the washplate and avoid washing a single heavy item by itself.
- Use the Bulky/Sheets Deep Water Wash cycle for oversized nonabsorbent items such as comforters or poly-filled jackets.
