Er PS means the control is having trouble sensing the water level.

## What Er PS actually means.

Er PS means the control is having trouble sensing the water level. There is no owner step for this one beyond unplugging.

Speed Queen washer display · also shown as PS

What to do when Er PS shows on the washer

### Kind of code Sensor circuit

A water level sensor, a temperature sensor or the wiring to one of them is reporting a value outside its range. The reading and the small air hose to the level sensor are checked with a meter before any part is ordered.

### Usually leads to Controls and sensors

A dead display, buttons that do nothing, cycles that stop at random or codes that keep returning, traced to the control, its sensors or its wiring.

### Shows up as Washer Not Filling

The washer starts, hums or clicks, but little or no water comes into the tub, or it fills very slowly.

### Make Speed Queen

Heavy-duty home washers from a brand with commercial laundromat roots, in top-load and front-load versions.

### Source Speed Queen User's Guide for Frontload Washers, Part No. 808187ENR4 (Alliance Laundry Systems PDF)

## Questions about Er PS.

### Can I clear Er PS myself?

Unplug the washer. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Can I clear Er PS on my Speed Queen and keep washing?

Speed Queen's instruction for this code is to unplug and get service, not to reset and continue.

### Why is Er PS a problem if my Speed Queen still fills?

Without a reliable level reading, the washer can underfill or overfill. That is why it is handled on a visit.
