Common Causes
- 1Inlet valve stuck open

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Unplug the washer and close both supply taps immediately
- 2
Check whether water keeps entering with the power off — that means the inlet valve is stuck open
- 3
Locate the pressure sensor near the top of the tub and inspect its air hose for water or splits
- 4
Blow gently through the pressure hose and listen for the sensor to click
- 5
Replace the pressure sensor if the valve holds and the hose is clear
Pro Diagnostic Tip
E3 is a flood-safety code. If the drum keeps filling with the plug pulled, the inlet valve is mechanically stuck — shut the taps before any further work.
