Washer displays E71 and may overfill or underfill; water level inconsistent.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Defective pressure sensor, Short or open in sensor wiring, Water trapped in pressure hose, Control misinterpreting sensor voltage

Safety First: Unplug the washer.

Inspect and clear hose: Remove the pressure hose from the tub and control. Blow through it to ensure it is clear and free of water. Reinstall securely.
Check wiring: Inspect the sensor connector and harness for damage or corrosion. Reseat the connector.
Replace sensor (if separate): If your GE model uses a separate pressure sensor module, replace it if E71 persists after hose cleaning.
Control replacement: If a new sensor does not resolve the issue, the main control board may be faulty.
