Step-by-Step Fixes
E1 — Water Inlet Fault
- Check that the water tap is fully open and water pressure is normal.
- Inspect the inlet hose for kinks.
- Turn off the tap, disconnect the inlet hose, and clean the mesh filter at the hose connector under running water.
- Reconnect, turn on the tap, and restart the machine. Persistent E1 points to a faulty inlet valve.
E2 — Drainage Fault
- Open the small service panel at the bottom front of the machine.
- Place a tray and towel to catch water, then slowly unscrew the drain pump filter cap.
- Remove all lint, hair clips, coins, and debris from the filter and filter housing.
- Check the drain hose for kinks and ensure it isn’t blocked at the outlet.
- Reinstall the filter cap firmly and run a Spin/Drain cycle to verify the fix.
E6 — Door Lock Fault
- Open the door fully, ensure no fabric is trapped in the door seal, and close it firmly.
- Unplug the machine for 5 minutes to reset. Restart and recheck.
- If E6 persists with the door properly closed, the door lock solenoid needs replacement.
Ub / UE — Unbalanced Load
- Open the door and redistribute clothes evenly around the drum.
- Add smaller items if washing one large item (e.g., one towel alone will always unbalance).
- Verify the machine is sitting level on the floor — adjust the levelling feet if needed.
- Close the door and press Start to resume spinning.
E3, E4, E5, E7 — Technician Required
These codes indicate motor, overflow, heating, or PCB faults. Unplug for 5–10 minutes and retry. If the code reappears, call Godrej service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset a Godrej washing machine?
Turn off the machine, unplug from the socket, wait 5 minutes, then plug back in and restart. This clears temporary error states. For Godrej top-load models, some have a manual reset button inside the top panel — check your user manual.
My Godrej top-load shows E2 but there is no visible filter — where is it?
Some Godrej top-load models don’t have an accessible drain filter. In these cases, E2 is more likely caused by a kinked drain hose or a blocked drain outlet. Check the drain hose routing from the machine to the outlet pipe.
