Possible Causes of error code 19

• Top-Load Washers:
  • Water level issue: This is the most common meaning for older top-load washers. The 19 error code might indicate the washer cannot maintain the desired water level during the cycle.
  • Faulty water level sensor: If the sensor sends inaccurate readings, it can trigger the error even with correct water levels.
  • Clogged filter or hose: Blockages in the water inlet system can prevent proper water flow and cause the error.
• Front-Load Washers:
  • Drain pump issue: This is more common for newer front-load models. The 19 error code might signify the drain pump is unable to drain water effectively during the cycle.
  • Clogged drain pump filter or hose: Debris buildup can interfere with water drainage and lead to the error.
  • Faulty drain pump: In rare cases, the pump itself might be malfunctioning.
