What This Means
Inlet valve leaking or failing open; Drain hose not positioned at correct height (must be 0.9-1.2 m above floor); Blockage or air leak in the hose between tub and pressure switch; Air leakage at air hose connector on outer tub
How to Fix
- 1
In service mode, check if water level frequency is over 21.0 kHz; if not, check AIR CHAMBER and tube for clogs
- 2
If frequency is over 21.0 kHz, check whether inlet valve activates when power is NOT applied
- 3
If inlet valve opens without power command, replace INLET VALVE ASSEMBLY
- 4
If inlet valve works correctly but error persists with power applied, replace MAIN PCB ASSEMBLY
- 5
Ensure drain hose is positioned 0.9-1.2 m (36-48 inches) above floor
- 6
Replace pressure sensor switch if tube/chamber is clear but FE persists
