How to Fix F8 E1 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washer from the wall outlet and turn off both the hot and cold water supply valves.
- Slide the washer away from the wall to access the back panel. Disconnect the water inlet hoses from the machine.
- Locate the water inlet valve where the hoses were connected. Remove the screws holding it in place and disconnect the wire harnesses attached to it.
- Install the new water inlet valve, reconnect the wire harnesses, and secure it with the screws.
- To address the pressure switch, you will need to open the control panel. Locate the pressure switch (it will have a thin, clear tube attached to it) and disconnect the tube and wire connector.
- Replace the pressure switch, ensuring the air tube and wire connector are securely reattached.
- Reassemble the washer, reconnect the water hoses, turn the water on, plug the machine in, and run a test cycle.
