How to deal with fault codes of Whatsminer series (2026 Updated Edition)

Author: Jerry Xu  Created 2021/11/19  Updated 2026/07/31

Here is the WhatsMiner checklist of error code and we strongly recommend every WhatsMiner user to keep it.

What are Whatsminer error codes?

Whatsminer is a series of Bitcoin ASIC miners manufactured by MicroBT, widely deployed in mining farms and personal mining environments worldwide. When a miner malfunctions, the system generates corresponding error codes through the WhatsMinerTool dashboard, Web UI, or LED indicators to help users quickly pinpoint the root cause of the problem.

According to industry statistics, approximately 80% of miner failures can be handled manually using standard solutions. This guide covers error codes for the entire Whatsminer series (M20/M30/M50, etc.).

💡 Practical Tip: Before handling any error codes, always disconnect the miner's power supply and wait at least 30 seconds for the capacitors to discharge before performing any hardware operations.
