HI. OL flashes when the machine/motor control detects a load size that exceeds the washer’s capacity.Open the door lid to clear your display and remove the excess laundry, then restart the cycle. Be sure to not overfill the unit or this will occur once again. Overloading the unit will damage the motor.
This machine is equipped with technology that allows it to sense the load size and will use the appropriate amount of water for that load. Takes the guesswork out!
Load selector switch is either plugged or needs to be replaced. There is a tube connected to load selector switch and goes to washer tub. Disconnect from top and blow out, gets clogged with soap. If this doesnt work then replace load selector switch.
Are you using front loader only detergent?(oversudsing) Overfilling is either a pressure switch, or pressure chamber is blocked(located toward underside of outer bowl approx 6 inches long) this is only in older machines with extensive cold washes.
I have a 2005 model GE washer that would overfill only on SUPER size load. After looking around on the web, then inside the machine, I checked the tube from the tub to the switch, no problem there. Then I found an adjustment screw on the load size selector / pressure switch (all one piece). I moved it one turn clockwise, then ran a test cycle. I got lucky on the first try... no more overflow, the water comes up just above the top holes in the tub. I hope this will help others.
Yes, its called a Pressure Switch and its located behind the load level selector knob in the operator console. A common problem with these model washer (and a very minor one) is that the air hose comes loose from the pressure switch, which causes the washer to overflow. The following link explains:
Read through the link I provided and inspect the pressure switch. In many cases this is the a simple problem that appears to be something major. Best of all, reattaching the air hose won't cost you anything. If you perform these steps and still have a problem, more than likely you have a failed pressure switch that requires replacement. I hope you find this information helpful. Let me know if you require additional assistance.
