Error Code FE

Overflow Error

What This Means

Water is overflowing (water level frequency over 21.3 kHz); Inlet valve open continuously when power not applied (stuck open); Air chamber or tube clogged causing false pressure reading

How to Fix

1. 1

   Confirm FE is displayed. Note: FE causes drain pump to operate automatically to drain water; power will NOT turn off automatically for FE

2. 2

   Press WASH/RINSE and DELAY WASH simultaneously; check if water level frequency is over 21.3 kHz. If no, check AIR CHAMBER and tube for clogs

3. 3

   If frequency is over 21.3 kHz, check if inlet valve works when power is not applied. If yes (stuck open), replace INLET VALVE ASSEMBLY

4. 4

   If inlet valve is open continuously when power is applied, replace MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY
