Maytag maxima F3E1 code won't work

[Clattermac]

I have replaced the bottom compartment computer, the top computer and the pressure sensor. F3e1 is a pressure switch code but I cannot find anything wrong. Checked my connections. Cleaned out the whole washer. It worked fine, then it didn't. 

 

When I power it up, it runs the drain pump constantly, then throws the code, then the pump runs until I unplug it. Super frustrating.  What am I missing. Again, all computers new. New pressure sensor. Thanks Clay.

I've replaced the ccu and the mcu.  Those are the properties names.

I’d double check that you’ve got everything plugged in and that there’s not a hole in the pressure sensor hose

How about a full model number?

When you say it worked, then it didn't, what exactly do you mean by that? Walk us through it step by step, what prompted you to change one expensive board, then another, has the complaint changed or did it start as an F3E1? It worked after you changed the MCU and CCU? Then what happened? 

Also, have you tried plugging it in, letting the drain pump run for 20-40 min or so, see if it times out. In "flood mode" (drain pump running in standby), sometimes you can cancel by holding the start button 10 sec, and sometimes you can race to enter diagnostic mode at powerup before flood mode starts.

The MCU should have nothing to do with an F3E1 error code. The problem can only be (1) a plugged or punctured pressure hose, (2) a faulty pressure sensor, (3) a faulty ccu, or (4) a wiring issue between the pressure sensor and ccu. I ALWAYS replace the pressure hose with the pressure sensor, as pinhole leaks can be hard to find. The fact that it worked after a cleaning cycle, then quit working again, suggests possible debris or accumulation blocking the pressure hose.

Good call, agreed, either in the pressure tube or in the air dome.

But I'd still say a MODEL NUMBER is the bare minimum to ask from the OP before going any further
