This error occurs if there is too much water in the washer or there are too many suds in the tub. When this occurs the water valves are shut off and the pump comes on for at least 30 seconds. If this condition happens during a wash cycle it will repeat these steps 4 times before showing the error code, when it does it cancels the wash cycle and drains all water.
• Check that the water inlet valves are not letting water into the washer when not running.
• Check the drain hose for clogs or kinks.
• Clean out the drain pump filter. Follow this guide to clean the filter if you do not know how - Pump Cleanout
• Check that the pressure hose is connected properly and has no air leaks.
