Answer

Hello Yoni, As per the tech sheet: NO WATER DETECTED ENTERING MACHINE OR PRESSURE SWITCH TRIP NOT DETECTED If after 30 seconds not minimum 0.1l of water entered or maximum fill time of 13 minutes is exceeded, the valves will be turned off and the error code will be displayed. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display. Possible Causes/Procedure If there is no water in the unit: Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are turned on all the way. Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged screens in the inlet valves. Verify the inlet valve operation. If there is water in the unit: Verify that the pressure switch hose is in good condition and properly connected to the tub and pressure switch. Unplug washer or disconnect power. Verify there is not a siphon problem. Verify wire harness connections to inlet valves, pressure switch, flow meter, and Central Control Unit (CCU). Check all hoses for possible leaks. Plug in the washer or reconnect power. Verify pressure switch operation. Verify flow meter operation by blowing air through the part and measuring the resistance. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic test or any cycle. If no problems are located the unit may need a control board WPW10157911.
