- Here is a quick video to show a few ways I tried to resolve the F03 E01 Error on my Whirlpool front loading washer. I ended up buying the replacement switch from repairclinic.com linked below. Before doing so, I tried a number of other fixes including blowing through the hose connected to the pressure switch and checking the drain for obstructions. ALSO - make sure to RUN THE CLEANING CYCLE frequently! I honestly think this was root cause of my issues. I'd be happy to answer any questions for clarity. Good luck - here is the link to the part I purchased:

I just had to come on here and say THANK YOU! I followed each step and fixed my washer on my own today, saving who knows how much money!! Thank you again !
Thanks for posting this video. Blowing in that sensor's tube seems to have solved my error code. You showing exactly where it was and how to get to it was invaluable.
Just wanted to thank you for this info. Yours is the first video I’ve watched that mentions the small black tube/switch. We blew thru the small black tube and now the washer is working perfect. I had cleaned the filter and couldn’t figure it out. You saved me $1500 on a new washer!!
Great help! We pulled the hot and cold water input hoses off and one of the filters was loaded!! So far so good👍 Saved a LOT of money if it fixes it!
Spot on brother, thank you for the brief, bulleted, but precisely thorough trouble shooting demonstration. My issue wound up being a partially occluded air dome. I found a couple of small items in the pump drain catch (small hook and metal closet shelf peg), but they weren’t problematic. Took seconds to clean the gunk out of the air dome and I’m back up and running. Saved me money and time I can’t afford to waste (especially on NFL game day 😁). Thank you again for taking time to share your experiences.
Thank you so much. I did this and my washer is now working! ❤️
Thank you! It was the extra possibilities that fixed for me. Checked the trap, ok. Checked the pressure sensor, ok. I think it was the drain line that was clogged. U the man!
THANKS! i saw how easy this looks so I went ahead and cleaned out my drain trap for the first time ever. So much stuff in there, no wonder I wasn't getting correct drainage. 2 pennies, a nickel, A BIC PEN, a bracelet and a bunch of plastic. There was also a large shirt button broken in half, both pieces lodged into 2 of the drain holes. One of the pennies was severely worn into an oval, stuck for up to 4 years.
Thank you!!!! My washer was locked with both error codes flashing. Tried resetting multiple times to no avail. I followed your video and we seem to be in business!
EXTREMELY insightful! You showed numerous ways to fix the issue and pointed me in the right direction. One video a guy only unplugged it and plugged it back in then ended the video. Appreciate your time and knowledge you've shared 🤙🏼
Yep I saw that video too.... Total idiot ... Thus video so much more helpful. Thanks so much.... Great video
Thank you for this detailed video. My husband was able to fix our washer. Out washer had a bucket full of water.
Thank you so much! Was having the same issue, checked drain hose and trap, both seemed fine. Was quoted ~$300 by repairmen to come check. Figured should try the pressure switch after watching your video. And viola!
Outstanding. Wish I knew this a day ago
Thanks for the video, you helped me fix my washing machine, the door was stuck closed, because the drain was blocked with loose objects... !!!
Good info and watch to the end, it’s important
Thanks so much you help my family out my Wash machine working now your our real life Mr Clean 🥰
hahah - my kids loved this reply!!
Thanks for the heads up on the pressure control switch. I about passed out trying to clear it, but the machine works great now!!!
Glad it worked for you! See my reply to Joanne about regularly running a cleaning cycle - I think that was the initial cause of the issue.
I had this error the other day. Machine just kept buzzing even after unplugging and resetting. I checked and cleaned the pump filter but the problem was actually the rubber front door seal. The bottom holes in the rubber were blocked with lint so the water pooled up in that little reservoir. That solved the error message. I did have to remove the top panel to manually open the door. It was locked and a manual open was the only way.
I didn't know you could open the door that way, thank you for sharing.
Thank you!!!! I had the same problem!!
Thanks a bunch had the exact same issue. One hole was blocked by some kind of paper and another was filled with lent. Running a cleaning cycle after to make sure all is good to go.
This is what ended up fixing my washer as well. Thanks for the big help.
This! I’ve had these codes previously with debris in the pump screen so that’s where I went first. Then the pressure hose. The biggest clue, which I subconsciously ignored until reading this comment, was the detergent that had pooled at the bottom of the door seal.🤦🏼♂️ Poked my finger around each drain hole and it was literally fixed in 30 seconds, 3 hours after I started working on it.🙄
Always start with the low hanging fruit!
This was helpful. I replaced the pressure switch. I also took the pump out to make sure there wasn't anything stuck in it. For anyone wondering, there are just four bolts and the whole thing comes out. If the errors come back I will probably replace that.
Replaced the pump and have done several loads with no issue. Reading on the Amazon site, this fixed most people's issue.
Thanks for your video, I had the same error code and now it’s fix👏🏻👍👍
I am so excited to find your video....and yes it worked! It goes to show even a woman can follow your simple instructions...
Worked like a charm, now I can relax knowing I saved myself a few dollars 😅
Great video, very informative 👍
You are a life saver...im still in disbelief & trying to understand how such items & undergarments were able to get through the drain holes & into our washer filter.
THANK YOU! ( also you make your videos to help others!)
Thank you so much! I was able to fix my washing machine by myself. Yeah!!!
great tutorial.
Thank you for this great video!!!! 💜👍
Great video, thanks for the update. Seems to be the same part# for Maytags too.
Thank you for this
Great Video! I found some quarters in the Drain trap. May have to do the pressure control switch next. Question: When you blew on the hose, was it pretty easy to blow air in there? Or was their alot of resistance?
Thank you so much!
Muchas gracias me ayudo tu video tenia monedas atoradas 😅!!
Thanks for the video. I'm getting that same code but the water only trickles in. If I turn off main h20 valve and back on while water slowly filling the water starts to flow normal. I wonder if it's my inlet valve. Thanks
Thank you for this! I didn't end up needing to buy the part, but I'll know for next time (which is hopefully never!).
I've had this issue intermittently for about two years. I've replaced the Air Dome, Pressure Switch and, just last week, the hose from the Pressure Switch to the Air Dome. I thought this last repair had it nailed but this morning the dreaded E01 F03 appeared once again. I think the only option left is the Control Board which, here is Canada, is about $500 - and there is no guarantee it will be the fix (and, of course you can't return the part if it doesn't work). As much as I don't want to, I think I might have to get a new unit. This one is only 7 years old. If I could get it up to the roof to throw it off, I would.
We are in the same boat. My washer is about 8 years old. And I have had the exact same experience as you. Did you replace the control board? That is where I'm at, but I am hesitant to spend the money...
@@wjallgood2 Out of sheer frustration, I just bought a new washer. I was just at the end of my rope with this thing.
I understand completely lol. Thanks for replying!@@tominwpg
Did you try just replacing the motor ??
Same exact problem. 8 year old washer and I've been struggling with this thing the last 3 years. Did all the changes you did -- same result. Honestly looking at a new washer as well...
I removed coins from the filter, blew the black hose, replaced the pressure switch, replaced the hoses, and still had the error. However, I followed the advice below about using the Medium Spin selection... that worked! So, the order I'd recommend... a) checked the filter after removing the back b) check to see if the Medium spin selection fixes it c) clear the black hose d) replace the hoses (they should be done every 5 years) and e) replace the pressure switch
Another option is try pouring about 2 - 3 gallons straight into the drum. You will hear a click and it resets the drain counter so it knows that it drained.
i have to replace the water inlet valve for it to work. good luck
Hey! I cleaned out the drain, blew out the hose, and replaced the pressure control sensor, but I'm still getting the error code after 10 washes. Any suggestions?
Hey habed one with not start only lights and after one minute lock door and not working
Since you put the link up, they have increased the price to $56. Amazon has it for $22
Yo my mans, where's the link to the part u changed? I need to do the same
I checked the trap, nothing. I replaced the pump, same problem. I replaced the air valve, same problem. I replaced the check valve, same problem. My wife then got the bright idea to change the spin cycle Medium on every wash load. So far, it has been 6 months without a problem. I think sometimes the spin cycle doesn't let the water drain causing the problem. Change the spin rate to medium or slow and see if it helps!
Changing the spin cycle to medium just saved the day!!! Thank your wife for me!!!
@@danielaturley3840 I'll just say you are welcome. It took 3 months for me to live that down. After I kept replacing everything on it and her telling me to try that several times, I finally relented and told her to try it. I swore it would not work. It has now been two years and the washer is still working perfectly. I can only eat so much crow! Lol
replace parts, cleaned traps, replaced lines... still failed. Then I read this and wha-la... no more error codes. Thanks to your wife!!!!!! The feathers are coming out of my teeth!
@@nancyreiber8930 So happy it worked for you. Ours is still working after about 3 years as long as we change the spin cycle to medium or show. 🙂
Is that the duvet?
@2:51 - how did you get the cap off so easily, I can’t unscrew mine
My washer is still working. But I do get a error message with water not fully drained until I reset. Is it because I'm just overloading? Or overloading and a little clogging?
Had E1 F3 error. Could not clear. Door would not open. Pump would run, drum tried to spin but stopped. Pump was fine, cleaned the screen (Way gross). Checked pressure sensor switch. Still would not run C0 and unlock door. Could not spin drum by hand from the back. The load was too heavy. The dryer was stacked on top of the washer. Last resort before ordering parts, take the dryer off to remove the washer top, wife could then reach the door unlock pull tab. Removed 6 small Area Rugs!! Small sheet and two towels!!!! Way too much for any machine. Plugged the machine back in, closed the door and Ta-Da it works! Ran a rapid wash to test it and recleaned the screen before reassembling it. Good for another 6 years.
Been getting this f’in error off and on for a year now.
What does F25 code mean?
Where the black rubber pressure switch hose is attached in the back it becomes smashed and acts like a restriction preventing air to expel into the pressure switch
For ppl who have a dryer on-top of the washer…u DO NOT need to take the dryer off to do this. Just undo the 3 small bolts on the back (top) and then gently slide the dryer back a bit to where the top of washer is released from the front. After that, u can then take the rest of the back panel off to get to the filter :)
wow - thank you for adding this comment!
Like to have seen step by step
how often do you have to repeat?
Hello Stan, I was follow all the steps and my washer machine still show me the same error code (F03, E01)
Question? What is the next step? Replace the level sensor switch?? Thank for your help
I did replace the switch. I also run the cleaning cycle regularly.
thanks for the video!
What is the item number please
what does ea1 means
SPOT ON!! .. they change the configurations just to drive people mad me thinks...
Might want to lower the amount of detergent you use as well.
How do I turn on the load and go for this model?
Hay mamasita 😍
I’ve done this several time over the past 4, saved me over $500 at least,
new it’s not helping 😭
Help please ??
What else can I try
Got a Maytag doing this. Barely anything in trap and cleaning made no difference. Replaced the pressure switch a couple of times already, made no difference. Leaning towards another module/Brain, but $300 new aprox and not sold on Amazon. Never again for Maytag/Whirpool products!
What's that part number on switch?
Got it
Did changing the pressure switch work for you?
so initially, yes, but I got the same error about 4 weeks later (aka this week). After some additional research, I think part of the issue is that we've never run the cleaning cycle so we have lots of liquid detergent and fabric softener buildup. I can get it to run, so I'm running everything through a thorough cleaning cycle. I ran 2 cycles with only afresh tablets on "sanitize' and then 3 cycles on "cleaning" cycle w only bleach and end up having foam/suds coming out of the vent on the back which meant we had soap still in the machine. As I'm typing this, I'm running the cleaning cycle w/ only 4 cups of vinegar which should break down more of the soap. Good luck!
@@sldgt99 Thanks for the wonderful video-it really helped a lot. However, we followed all instructions and we're still getting the error codes. Any advice on how to know which part to replace: pressure switch or drain pump?
@@sldgt99 I've been chasing the F03/E01 Error for months on my Maytag Washer. Each time I get it, clearing the traps and hoses, etc. seems to work, but it's really been bugging me that I'm doing this more often lately (3 times in 6 months) but reading this comment about a regular cleaning hit me! I'm terribly forgetful about running the cleaning cycle, so I'm going to do that now and hopefully keep things going until that $45 pressure switch eventually fails. Unnecessary repair visits aren't cheap! Thanks for the video and thanks for the comment reminder about running the cleaning cycle!
Hi Stan- did running the cleaning cycles work? I just went through the steps and will see what happens. I’ll probably order the pressure switch next if I get the codes . Looks like we have the same model.
@@Rzagski These "lower end" Whirlpool & Maytag washing machines are so finicky. My codes came back after a couple weeks. The last time the codes came up, I put the machine in Test Mode and tested the water valve solenoid unit (hot, cold, fabric softener and oxy) and actually found the cold water valve to not be working. I proceeded to take the top and back cover off, clean out the traps, water inlets and hoses back there as well as, clean out any gunk in the door seal and run a cleaning cycle and everything is "ok for now". I honesty feel like the "common" $40 pressure switch and $45 valve control units are not the real problem. I tend to always wash all my loads on the same settings, so if another setting isn't used enough, it triggers a fault, which makes no sense. The only thing that has kept this going, it seems, is routine pulling apart and cleaning. I'll be damned if I pay a technician $100+ to tell me there's something more going on electronically and pay half the cost of a new unit to temporarily fix it. Unfortunately, it seems 3-5 years on these machines is average to be throwaways. Sorry, this comment doesn't help you. I'm mostly frustrated that I'm still searching for a final fix and it might not be a simple, inexpensive part replacement.
Shoot. I cleaned the filters, checked the sensor tube, etc. and replaced that sensor part but still getting F03 E01...wonder if anyone else found another solution?
When you blow through the hose attached to the water level pressure switch, how easy was it to blow through? I was able to blow through but it definitely took some air pressure.
One way or another this seems to have resolved the issue (knock wood).

Yea. But then I can do a cycle or 2 and it does it again. I’ll bang on front. It drains and I get it to work. Pain in ass for sure
The pump is bad, the impeller is damaged. Listen to it. Should not be that loud
I agree, I bet the impeller is damaged and the pump is failing.
Just replaced it this weekend - much quieter now
The best thing you can do for your machine is to switch to powder detergent.
E5, E3, locked door Mechanism has to be replaced.
From the sound of the pump at the end of your video I can tell you your drain pump is starting to fail.
I had forgotten to turn the water back on - rookie move! Been working fine ever since I've made this video though which is great. Key thing has been to run a cleaning cycle w/ bleach or cleaning tablets regularly.

A technician has to verify different things that could be wrong as a rule of thumb, that's just part of the troubleshooting. You can't tell him I won't pay for this or that because I already did it. You can not put a price on someone's skills and time. Why bother calling for service, you're the kind of customer I wouldn't want to work for . At least be honest upfront when you call a technician and tell him you not willing to pay for what you already did and then is up to him weather to come or not.
