Washer starts cycle but an error message comes up "low water pressure" call for service.

What you need to be looking at is the water lever sensor. Take the top off by removing 2 screws in the back (Top right and top left). Slide the top off. Now you want to be standing in the front. The front right side is the sensor. Make sure the hose is properly connected underneath. If you have a meter, take a resistance measurement across the two end pins. Should read about 20 ohms or so.

You get these messages turned off by fixing the problem.
Low water pressure is basically one of the valves is not letting water pass through.
1. Do as you already did and clean the inlet filters. Any kinked hoses?
2. Adjust the water pressure in the house. Is it too high or too low?
3. Replace the valves in the unit.
4. Main board.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
First is to empty the water out. This can be done by following my (complete) general guidance notes below for checking the drain motor lint tray/filter and the motor.
'nf' means NO FEED and what happened afterward indicates that the water feed control valve is malfunctioning, initially not opening for water to be fed but then sticking open.
So follow these notes, particularly those in capital letters, to find how to empty the washer, and to check the state of the filter which is needed on a regular basis anyway ;-0)
Next will be a call to a service engineer to sort out the suspect valve.Sorry ;-0(
-------------------------------------------------------------
I would suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water in the allotted time.
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and held in by a round cover/knob.
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!
Good luck!

Hello Geri Witkowski - I understand that your washer displayed E11. Typically error code E11 indicates that either the unit is taking too long to fill with water or there is a possible leak.
· Try resetting the unit by flipping the household circuit breaker off or unplugging it. Wait approximately ten minutes and restart unit.
· Is the incoming water flow normal? If it is, does the fill water continue to enter the washer? If yes, disconnect power from the unit. Did the water fill stop? If so, a service technician may need to check the pressure sensor or switch to determine if it needs replacement.
· If your water flow is abnormal, double-check water faucets to ensure they are in the "on" position. If on, your incoming water pressure may be above 30 PSI and could need adjusting. Check for any kinked or blocked water hoses or clogged water screens. If you've cleared the water screen and/or unblocked any kinked water hoses, and the problem still persists, it could possibly be a water inlet valve assembly.
If you have checked all of the above, the unit may need a main control board replacement. I would recommend contacting a qualified service technician to further assist you in diagnosing this issue.
