Siemens washer dryer E12 error code

[hughwatkins]

Hi,
Our Siemens washer dryer is showing an E12 and 3 minutes into every cycle.

I’ve tried checking the inlet filter and cleaning as best I can the outlet hose and front access filter.

I’ve taken the top off and water sounds like it’s flowing well in the machine. But I’m not 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} sure.

On a Empty+Spin cycle it appears to be draining ok. Although the outlet pipe had debris in it.

Model: WK14D541EU with aqua stop
5yrs old, medium usage.

Anything else I can look at?

Thanks alot.

sound like it may not be detecting water entering machine properly. check pressure switch and tubes to it for blockages

Thanks a lot Dave

is the pressure switch the black flexible tube in this photo?
the clear tube is rigid.

Sorry didn’t mean to post above.

is the pressure switch usually accessed from the bottom?
thanks

the pressure switch is normally at the top inside. its fed by a thin tube from a bell that traps air at the bottom. check hose for blockages and damage
do not blow directly in the switch

remove and replace connection in case of bad connection

hello
i have a washer dryer with e12 showing up

did you have to change a component and which one please ?

I have read online is that it is the 3 head inlet or the aqua stop that can go bad. Do you have a more precise idea from the repairs you had to make

thanks v much
