How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer.
- Locate pressure system: Remove top or side panel to find the pressure sensor and its thin hose leading to the tub or pressure chamber.
- Check hose: Remove the hose and blow through it gently to clear soap residue. Ensure it is not split or kinked.
- Clean pressure chamber: If accessible, clean out sludge from the chamber on the tub where the hose connects.
- Reconnect and test: Refit hose securely and run a rinse/spin. If F55 persists, the pressure sensor may need replacement.
