F3E1 — Water level sensor error

What does F3E1 mean?

This error code indicates that the washer-dryer is experiencing an issue with its water level sensor or the associated pressure switch system. The appliance may not be able to accurately detect the water level inside the tub.

• Malfunctioning pressure switch or water level sensor.
• Obstruction such as water, suds, or debris in the pressure hose or air trap.
• Pressure hose is pinched, crimped, or incorrectly routed.
• Loose or faulty wiring connections to the pressure switch.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Run a small load cycle and observe if the water valve turns off automatically when the tub fills. This helps verify the water level sensor function.

2. 2

   If the error occurs, press START/PAUSE to stop the cycle, then press POWER to cancel the cycle and drain any water from the tub.

3. 3

   Unplug the washer-dryer from the power outlet for at least 30 seconds, then plug it back in to reset the appliance.

4. 4

   Check the pressure hose (often a small tube connected to the tub) for any visible kinks, pinches, or obstructions. Ensure it is clear and routed correctly.

5. 5

   If accessible, visually inspect the air trap and hose connections for any obvious water, suds, or debris that might be blocking the sensor.

6. 6

   If the problem persists after these steps, contact Whirlpool customer service for further assistance or to schedule a service appointment.
