What to check first
Can I keep using it?
Do not keep using the appliance while this warning is active.
Do not keep running the appliance when water is visible, a leak warning is active, or water could reach wiring or controls.
- Safe next step
- Stop the cycle if safe, turn off water when appropriate, protect the floor, and avoid repeated resets until the leak source is understood.
- Stop when
- Water is near wiring, cabinetry is getting wet, the leak returns, or the source is not safely visible.
Do not keep using the appliance if the code points to voltage, wiring, control power, burning smell, smoke, or a possible miswired supply.
- Safe next step
- Use only safe owner-level power checks, then involve a qualified technician or electrician when the source points to wiring or supply voltage.
- Stop when
- Breakers trip, lights dim, the appliance smells hot, wiring may be miswired, or the warning returns after a safe reset.
Safety boundaries
Safe first
- Match the exact brand, appliance type, and displayed code first.
- Use the model manual as the final authority for access steps.
- Stop and address visible water before retrying the appliance.
Do not do this
- Do not keep running the appliance while this code is active.
- Do not disconnect inlet hoses until the water supply is off.
- Do not bypass locks, float switches, leak sensors, or other safety systems.
Common causes include
- The control is not receiving the expected fill-level information
- A water-level sensing or pressure-path condition requires service
- A control or wiring condition requires qualified inspection
Basic checks
- Record Er, PS and stop the washer through its normal control; do not begin another fill or wash cycle.
- From a dry position, note whether water remains, the level appeared unusually high or low, or any leak is visible without moving or opening the appliance.
- Check only whether moisture is near the cord, plug, outlet, or exposed hoses so the urgency can be described accurately to Speed Queen service.
- Disconnect power only when the plug or approved isolation point is safely reachable from a dry position, as the guide directs.
Reset or retry steps
- Guide 808187ENR2 provides no owner reset for Er, PS; it directs the user to disconnect power and call for service.
- Keep the washer off until the fill-level sensing condition is assessed; a cleared display does not confirm that water control is safe.
When to call a technician
- Contact Speed Queen service for Er, PS without attempting another cycle or a pressure-system check.
- Arrange urgent qualified help if water is rising, leaking, or approaching the cord, plug, outlet, or another powered appliance.
Before approving a paid visit, check warranty status and reviewquestions to ask before repair.
