Possible Causes
Pressure hose partially blocked, Sensor calibration drift, Air leak at tub air dome, Control board level calibration fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before inspection.
- Check for over-sudsing: Excess detergent can create foam that interferes with pressure sensing. Run a rinse & spin with no detergent to clear suds.
- Inspect pressure hose and air dome: Verify the hose is firmly attached at both ends and not cracked. Inspect the tub air dome (where the hose connects) for buildup; clean if accessible.
- Reset control: After cleaning, unplug for 5 minutes, then run a small load to test operation.
- Replace sensor if needed: If E71 continues, replace the pressure sensor. Persistent issues after sensor replacement may indicate a control board problem requiring professional service.
