What to check first
Stop normal operation while this warning is active. Follow only the documented safe checks or protective-drain instructions for the exact model.
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.
Applicability
Model family · Speed Queen FF7 front-load washer family using guide 808187ENR2 · United States · Speed Queen user guide 808187ENR2 (June 2023)
This Er, PS meaning and direct-service boundary are limited to Speed Queen front-load washers whose official document result lists guide 808187ENR2, including reviewed product code FF7009WN. Do not transfer a pressure-sensing procedure from another model.
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.
Can I keep using it?
Stop normal use when water is visible or a leak warning is active. Stay clear if water could reach wiring or controls.
- Safe next step
- Follow the code-specific shutdown or protective-drain instructions, turn off water when appropriate, and avoid repeated resets. Do not interrupt a documented protective-drain sequence just to clear the display.
- 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 continue normal cycles while this code is active; any protective-drain sequence must follow the exact model instructions.
- 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
