Possible Causes
Faulty electronic pressure sensor, Blocked air chamber on tub, Cracked or leaking pressure hose, Electrical interference or wiring fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and close the water tap.
Step-by-step checks:
- Inspect pressure hose and chamber: Remove the top cover. Follow the small hose from the pressure sensor to the tub air chamber. Remove the hose and clean any soap or sludge from both hose and chamber.
- Check for leaks: Flex the hose to look for cracks or pinholes. Replace if any damage is found.
- Test sensor output: With the sensor removed, a technician can measure its resistance or voltage output while applying gentle air pressure. If readings are unstable or outside Balay specs, replace the electronic pressure sensor.
- Wiring inspection: Verify that the sensor connector is secure and that the harness to the main control is intact.
- Re-test: After reassembly, run a test cycle and monitor fill and drain behavior. Persistent E14 suggests a control board issue requiring professional service.
