Check the pressure switch -the system that determines correct water
level in the drum. If its giving an incorrect indication to the program
timer machine will either overfill, refuse to fill or refuse to spin.
Its an air operated diaphragm switch triggered by rising air pressure
induced by the entry of water into an airtight vessel attached to the
base of the drum. It tells the program timer that the water has reached
the correct level, allowing it to proceed to the water heating stage in
the cycle. Power off, drag machine out onto the floor, remove back
cover and top cover. The pressure switch is a round item about 3 inches
across with several wires and a thin rubber pipe attached. It generally
sits just under the top cover. Disconnect the thin rubber pipe from the
switch and blow down through it to clear any blockage. Switch itself may
be faulty but its more likely the pressure pipe or the vessel attached
to the other end of the pipe is blocked. Some machines have the pressure
vessel integrated as part of the filter unit, with a pressure chamber
moulded into the top of the filter body. Remove the pressure vessel, put
a small nut or screw in it, fill it with water and shake vigorously
till any crud or residue is removed. Refit all parts, check that joints
and connections are water tight.
Also check the filter itself - generally located behind a panel at the
foot of the machine.Some are obvious like little square hatches and some
are hidden behind the trim panel at the foot of the machine. Once panel
is removed the filter should be visible. Its generally a circular
plastic fitting which unscrews in an anticlockwise direction. Some
hotpoint, indesit and ariston filters are located in the big black sump
hose (the one that leaves the bottom of the outer drum and connects to
the pump). Power off, drag machine out onto the floor, remove back cover
or tip machine up at an angle. Locate sump hose, remove the tensioner
clip by squeezing the tabs together with a large pair of pliers or vise
grips, remove the hose, take out filter and clean. Be prepared for
spillage of water. May help if the machine is tilted backwards at an
angle.

PE is a pressure switch problem. Could be a bad switch or it could be that the hose is plugged. The switch looks like a diapharm switch and is located on the main board. It has a black hose that connects under the bottom of the tub. See if that end is clogged. Otherwise you may need a new switch.

Hello,
I have today the same error code on model WD-11155FB. This code means that the speed of the electrical motor can no longer be controlled. The velocity sensor placed just behind the motor is probably damaged but it can be also the electronic board where is connected this sensor, or the wiring between these two items.

Hi,
Already answered by an expert :-
This a common problem for all front loaders. Your washer will not drain
or work 'cause your outlet filter is clogged or an unusually heavy
load. The small door is on the left side front bottom of your washer.
Remove the door with a putty knife or thin butter knife inserted in the
middle top of the access panel door. Drain the water from the filter
housing by pulling the tube out of the clip and unplugging, allow it to
run into a bucket while the machine is in spin only mode. This mode is
acheived when the washer is first powered on press the spin button
until no spin is reached then run. Run in this mode until no water is
draining from the tube in the bucket. Keep the tube as low as possible.
When water has stopped coming out of the tube turn off the washer and
unplug from the wall. This step is important because this resets the
fault. Expect some water to come out when you open the filter housing
by turning counterclockwise until you can pull the filter from its
housing. Clean out your filter, return to housing turning clockwise
until seated and recap the tube and place in the holder, refit the
cover and plug back into the wall. Fixed. You may also need to lighten
the load a bit but I always try full on load anyways. If it fails again
just lighten, unplug wait >1 minute then replug and run.
Thanks.
