Error Code: C3 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Water leak detected.
How to Fix C3 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washer from the wall outlet and turn off the water supply valves to ensure safety.
- Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws holding the top panel of the washer in place, which are typically located at the back.
- Slide the top panel backward and lift it off to expose the internal components.
- Locate the pressure sensor, which is a small, round part with a wire harness and a thin rubber tube connected to it.
- Carefully disconnect the wire connector from the old sensor. Then, release the clamp holding the rubber hose and pull the hose off the sensor nozzle.
- Rotate the old pressure sensor to unlock it from the washer’s frame and remove it.
- Install the new pressure sensor by aligning it on the frame and rotating it to lock it into place. Reconnect the wire harness and attach the rubber hose, securing it with the clamp.
- Re-secure the top panel with its screws, turn the water back on, and plug the washer in to test the repair.
