Error Code: E1 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Water is not entering the washer or the fill time is slow.
How to Fix E1 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Verify that both the hot and cold water faucets supplying the washer are turned on completely.
- Inspect the full length of the water inlet hoses for any kinks, twists, or crushing that could restrict water flow and straighten them.
- Turn off the water supply faucets and unscrew the inlet hoses from the back of the washer.
- Check the small metal filter screens inside the washer’s water inlet ports for any sediment or debris.
- Use a small brush or pliers to gently remove the screens and rinse them thoroughly under clean water until all debris is gone.
- Reinstall the filter screens, securely reconnect the hoses, and turn the water faucets back on.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
