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

  1. Understand that this is a normal part of the washer’s operation and not an error.
  2. The ‘Sensing’ light indicates the washer is rotating the basket to determine the size and balance of the load to calculate the correct amount of water.
  3. The ‘Fill’ light indicates the washer is adding water. This may happen multiple times as it soaks the clothes and re-evaluates the load.
  4. Avoid opening the lid or adding more clothes during this phase, as it will restart the process.
  5. The light will turn off and the ‘Wash’ light will illuminate once the sensing and filling process is complete and the main wash action begins. No action is needed.
  6. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
  7. Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

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