Water level pressure sensor fault

Unplug the washer. Check the air hose connection between the bottom of the tub and the water level pressure switch in the console. Check the wiring connections between the water level pressure sensor and the main electronic control board. If no problems are found, then the water level pressure switch will usually need to be replaced.
