Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power and water. Be cautious of sharp metal edges inside the cabinet.
F10 is a general water level sensing error.
- Inspect pressure hose: Remove the top cover, locate the pressure switch and its hose. Check for kinks, splits, or disconnection. Replace if damaged.
- Clean pressure chamber: At the tub end, remove the chamber and flush out detergent sludge or lint that can trap air and give false readings.
- Check switch contacts: With the machine unplugged, disconnect the switch and test continuity across its terminals while gently blowing into the hose connection. You should see changes in continuity as it clicks. If not, replace the pressure switch.
- Verify wiring: Ensure the harness from the switch to the PCB is intact and firmly connected.
If all mechanical and wiring checks are good but F10 remains, the main PCB input circuit may be faulty and should be tested or replaced by a technician.
