How to Fix FILL OR SENSING LIGHT ON Error (Step-by-Step)

1. First, ensure the water supply is on. Unplug the washer, turn off the water valves, and disconnect the inlet hoses from the back of the machine. Check the small filter screens inside the valve’s ports for any clogs and clean them.
2. If the filters are clear, the water inlet valve itself may be faulty and need replacement. This requires removing the back panel for access.
3. Another potential cause is a faulty lid switch. Open and close the lid to listen for a distinct ‘click’. If there is no click, or the machine won’t start, the lid switch assembly likely needs to be replaced.
4. The fill sensor, also called the pressure switch, could be the problem. It’s typically located behind the control panel and is connected to a clear air tube.
5. Access the control panel and inspect the air tube connected to the pressure switch. Ensure it is not kinked, cracked, or loose.
6. If the tube is secure, the pressure switch itself may have failed and will need to be replaced by disconnecting its wire harness and the air tube.
7. After inspecting or replacing any parts, reassemble the washer, turn on the water, and plug it in to test.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
