Hey folks.
The in-laws are having an issue with their top-load Speed Queen.
I'll attach pictures. But basically, it's showing the pictured error code, and won't fill.
I'm sure they'll leave it to a professional tech, unless it's something crazy simple that even a caveman could do. (Throwback Geico reference)
They gave it the old "unplug it and plug it back in." That didn't help.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Barry

Quick search says Er Co = communications error between the control board in the console and the output/motor board in the base.  Can be caused by corrosion or burn on the wiring harness connectors, broken wire, or a board problem.
 
Thanks, Glenn.
I found something stating basically the same thing on a SQ tech site of some sort.
Another site suggested unplugging for five minutes and plugging back in. I believe they already tried that.
Sounds like a job for someone who knows what they're doing. I'll give it a good leaving alone.

Thanks, Eugene.
That's the first time I've had a picture post wonky. Since they were still readable, I wasn't overly concerned. But they definitely look better oriented correctly! 👍

Jerome,

I'm sorry. I didn't know you couldn't see the pictures.
Yes. You're right. This Speed Queen is from before they changed them to the design that a lot of people hated.

The first thing I noticed about photo #1 in the original post was the “Quick Wash” cycle. I thought, “This must not be a 9-series, because I don’t have a Quick Wash cycle. Then I saw photo #3 and realized it was indeed a 9-series.

 

So, I sauntered over to my 2017 SQ and looked at the console. Lo-and-behold, there it was: Quick Wash.

 

How it’s possible I’ve never noticed that cycle before is beyond me. I played with the console a bit and found that the Quick Wash is only two minutes shorter than the Heavy Duty cycle on its lightest soil setting. Not much of a difference. They obviously didn’t shorten the final spin or the rinse agitation time, so not quite sure why it warrants a “Quick” designation.  Regardless, I’m definitely going to give it a try on a medium-sized load of colors later today, just to say I’ve used the cycle.

Eugene.. I just noticed my LG 3700 has a "cold wash" button on it last week and that was only because I looking in the manual for something else. And then when seeing it in the manual I'm thinking why is there a cold wash button when the water temperature selection already has "tap cold, cold, warm, hot, extra hot". I read it and as I'm writing this I've already forgotten why it has it.
