Problem: Water level pressure sensor malfunction – sensor unable to detect water level correctly

How to Fix PE Error

Unplug the washer.
Locate the water level pressure sensor, typically in the top part of the machine with a thin air tube attached.
Disconnect the air tube from the sensor and blow gently into it to clear any potential blockages in the tube.
Inspect the tube for any cracks, holes, or loose connections at the tub end.
If the tube is clear and intact, the pressure sensor has failed and needs to be replaced.
