Huebsch Quantum Topload Washer Error Code Ed, XX: Output Board
Ed followed by two characters on a Huebsch Quantum topload washer shows that the output board is not operating properly. Write down the exact two characters after Ed, then switch the washer off and on to see if the code returns. Leave the control cover and boards alone, and send us the characters when you call.
High: the output board runs the valves, lock and motor, so the washer stops until it is repaired.
What does Huebsch error code Ed mean?
The display on this washer reads "Ed, XX", where XX stands for two characters that change with the condition. The manual treats the whole Ed family as an output board problem: the board that runs the valves, lock and motor is not operating properly. Customers see the washer stop with the display showing Ed and a pair of characters. The two characters narrow down the reported condition, which is why they matter more than the Ed itself. They help decide whether the board, its connections or its power is the problem. The manual lists the characters shown after Ed, board connectors and cables, the output board itself, and the supply voltage reaching the board. Without the characters we can only guess at the direction, so a quick note before the power cycle makes the visit much more efficient.
Affected models and control systems
This page applies to Huebsch Quantum topload washers in the TLW13C family with the electronic control. CHM495R washer-extractors use fixed Ed01 to Ed10 messages on their own pages.
Code numbers and their meaning can change between control generations. We match the full model and control before acting on a code.
What you may notice

Possible causes
Listed in Huebsch's documentation
- The characters shown after Ed, which narrow the condition
- Board connectors and cables
- The output board itself
- Supply voltage reaching the board
Other likely causes — what usually sits behind error code Ed on this control. A technician confirms which one it is before any part is replaced.
- A connector worked loose on the output board by long-term vibration
- A board contaminated by damp laundry air that produces different characters at different times
Safe checks before calling for service
- Write down the exact two characters shown after Ed.
- Switch the washer off and on again to see if the code returns.
- Leave the control cover and boards alone.
- Send us the characters when you call so we can plan the visit, and mention whether they changed.
How a technician diagnoses error code Ed
- Read the full code, including both characters, and its history.
- Check the supply voltage reaching the output board.
- Inspect board connectors and cables.
- Match the characters to the output being tested and measure that output.
- Replace the board only after the supply and connectors are good.
- The output board switches line-voltage loads and sits in the live enclosure.
- Interpreting the two characters means matching them to the manual's output list.
- A board that is replaced without checking its supply can fail again.
How error code Ed differs from similar codes
On this Quantum topload the characters after Ed vary. The CHM495R lists separate Ed01, Ed02 and similar codes with one meaning each.

Why do I need to write down the characters?
They tell us which output the board reported, so we bring the right parts.
Will restarting clear it?
It may, but the code can return, and the characters help find why.
Is Ed the same as E nr?
Both involve the output board, but E nr means it was not ready and Ed means it is not operating properly.
