Washer shows E16, water level too low during wash or spin

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

Incorrectly seated pressure sensor hose, Faulty pressure sensor, Control board misreading level, Small leak causing slow water loss

Safety first: Unplug the washer and close water taps before internal inspection.

Check for visible leaks: Look around and under the washer for signs of water loss that could lower the level.
Inspect pressure hose (advanced): Remove the top cover and verify the small hose from the tub to the pressure sensor is firmly attached at both ends and not cracked.
Reset machine: After reseating the hose, unplug the washer for 5–10 minutes, then retry a cycle.

If E16 continues, the pressure sensor or control board may require replacement by a service technician.
