Error Code: FE Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Water level sensor fill error – incorrect level detection during fill cycle
How to Fix FE Error
- Inspect pressure tube for cracks near connections – common failure point at sensor connector (wiggle test while monitoring frequency).
- Disconnect tube at sensor and blow through entire length to clear blockages (use compressed air at <30 PSI).
- Test sensor resistance at rest (should read
- 5-
- 5kΩ on analog sensors).
- Apply gentle suction to tube while monitoring resistance – should decrease smoothly to ~500Ω without jumps.
- Replace pressure sensor DC96-01703G if resistance doesn’t change with pressure or shows erratic fluctuations.
- Check tub air dome for clogs – remove hose clamp and clean port with small brush or pipe cleaner.
- Verify no water trapped in pressure tube causing False high-level signal – tube must be completely dry during operation.
