Error Code: F31 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Maximum water level exceeded.
How to Fix F31 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Press the cancel or stop button to end the current cycle and drain the excess water.
- Unplug the washer from the power source and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Check the drain hose for any clogs or kinks that might be preventing proper drainage.
- Locate and clean the drain pump filter, which is usually accessible through a small door on the front of the washer.
- If the washer is still overfilling, the pressure switch, which senses the water level, may be malfunctioning.
- To check the pressure switch, you will need to access it by removing a panel and inspect the hose for blockages and the switch for defects.
- 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.
