Error Code: FILL OR SENSING LIGHT ON Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Filling or Sensing
How to Fix FILL OR SENSING LIGHT ON Error (Step-by-Step)
- Understand that this is a normal part of the washer’s operation and not an error.
- 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.
- The ‘Fill’ light indicates the washer is adding water. This may happen multiple times as it soaks the clothes and re-evaluates the load.
- Avoid opening the lid or adding more clothes during this phase, as it will restart the process.
- 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.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
- Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
Still Not Working?
