Error Code: F3 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Water level problem.
How to Fix F3 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washer from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Remove the top panel of the washer to locate the water level pressure switch.
- Inspect the thin rubber or plastic hose connected to the pressure switch. Ensure it is not kinked, cracked, or disconnected.
- Disconnect the hose from the switch and blow gently into it to clear any potential blockages or debris.
- Reconnect the hose securely to the pressure switch and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- If the hose is clear and properly connected, the pressure switch itself may be faulty. You can test it with a multimeter for continuity as you apply light pressure.
- If the switch is defective, replace it with the correct part for your model.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
