GW11 water level issues

During normal wash- water level in auto, the water exceeds any proper level almost to overflow and I get the warning beeps. It also adds it continuously through the spin cycle prompting beeps. Additionally, when the water gets excessive in the wash cycle I get the last wash LED and the water level high LED blinking simultaneously with beeps. What I've done. 1- unplug/plug reset- no help. 2- blown through plastic tube for pressure controller to check for obstruction, pathway clear- no help. 3.- change machine size setting through diagnostic page to correct one- no help. 4. bought and replaced motor control- no help. I'm losing my patience. Thanks

Gw11 stops mid cycle and beeps and lights 2 and 7 are lit up anybody know what the error code is

Is it model GWL11? There is no model GW11. On most other models that code indicates there is a fault in the water pressure transducer which measures the water level. Unfortunately the motor controller module needs to be replaced.

What does a flashing code of "FE" mean? I cannot get the machine to stop beeping nor can i unlock the door?

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. FE is Overflow error which means that the water is overflowing and the water level frequency is over 213. When FE error is displayed the drain pump operates to drain the water automatically. To resolve this issue you’ll have to check the water inlet valve and pressure sensor which can sense the water level in the tub, if any of this goes bad overflow occurs. Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

Washer is filling up to wash but water goes out of tub before

If you have ever experienced the problem where you washer continually fills but never reaches the proper level (not an overflow). Or, the wash tub water level cannot be maintained, because the water level keeps dropping. You may be experiencing what is known as "siphoning". This occurs when there is no air gap for the drain line at the standpipe. The standpipe is the drain pipe at the wall where the washer drain line is placed. With no air gap, a vacuum is created, and water will begin to drain from the wash tub prematurely. To prevent this from occurring, follow this advice:

* The standpipe should be 2 inches in diameter to allow a sufficient air gap between the top of the standpipe and the drain hose.
* The standpipe should be a minimum of 34" from the floor, and should not exceed 72 inches in height.
* DO NOT seal the top of the standpipe. Many consumers seal the standpipe in the belief that this will prevent overflows, or get rid of drain odors. This often creates more problems than solutions.
* DO NOT place the drain hose too far down into the pipe. Water stays in the drain trap area of the standpipe. If the end of the drain hose rests in this area, no air gap is created, and this can also cause siphoning. 4 to 6 inches is sufficient.
* The drain hose length must not exceed 10 feet in length. Excessive drain hose length can cause drain problems and back wash.
