Problem
Our duet washer is giving an F3E1 error during the cycle. I believe this code refers to a water pressure switch/sensor fault.
What I Tried
- Replaced Pressure Switch: After replacing the pressure switch P/N WPW10448876, the error seemed to have gone away, however after about five loads, the error message occurred again.
- Blew Through Pressure Hose: After blowing through the pressure hose into the tub, (not into the pressure switch), it would let me get through a few loads before the error occurs again.
- Called a Tech: The appliance tech ran a quick diagnostic and thought the pressure switch was bad. This switch is brand new, he then said it could be a main control.
What the Machine is Doing
The washer is giving an F3E1 error.
What the Washer should be doing
Run through the entire cycle without any errors.
Question
What else would cause this error to occur?
Type: Washer
Brand: Whirlpool
Model: WFW95HEDW0

Explanation
I located a service bulletin from Whirlpool for this error code. It suggests updating the air trap assembly aka Air Dome assembly. The manufacturer has replaced part number W10626116 with W10903220.
Here is a video for how to replace the air dome.
The replacement air dome is slightly different than the original, it looks like the internal rubber extension portion has been eliminated.
