I have replaced the motor controller and the OPR switch on my kenmore elite calypso top load washer. I am still getting the FL code on the control panel. What could be left? The sump ball or check

Last week while attempting to start the machine, three error codes appeared as I was attempting to get through the problem. I scoped it out myself on line, purchased the machine control board and replaced it. FL still. Replaced the OPR switch. FL still reads out. I'm stuck.

SOURCE: my whirpol calypso washer don't running, appear fl and ce

"FL" flashes if any overfill condition occurs. This condition occurs when excessive water in the tub causes the overfill switch to trip. The control must realize that the trip was due to an overfill condition instead of a suds lock condition in order for "FL" to be displayed.

With an overfill condition, the beeper repeats a warning every 10 seconds with no time out. The pump is cycled in drain mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill switch resets or power is discontinued to the unit.

Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display
------------------------------------
If there is any breakdown in communication between the machine controller and the motor controller, "CE" flashes and the unit beeps once.

Some common causes of "CE" errors include:

• Conformal coating on serial communications pins between the machine controller and motor controller. After disconnecting power to the unit, try scraping this coating off the pins.
• Check the resistance values between the serial communications pins with the connectors in place. Make sure the harness does not have a bad connection.
• Check the quick disconnect at the motor terminal. The drive motor must be hooked up properly or a "CE" error will occur.
• Drive motor thermal protector has opened.
• Motor controller is not powered or fuse has opened. Replace motor controller.

Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.

SOURCE: I have a CE error on the Calypso washer. I remove

First off is it under waranty and second you will need to find out what Ce stands for.Ask a repair shop and they might let you know what the code stands for.
No need changing something that don't need to be.
If it's not under waranty I would say yes you could replace it.The wires are usually all different and no way to get them hooked up wrong.(Note Just Make Sure It's Unlugged.)

Error Code FL

The FL (Over Fill) error code indicates that the flood pressure switch is open (tripped). It is likely that you are getting the LD (Long Drain) fault code because the control detects that the flood pressure switch will not reset after running the drain pump. Your likely failure is in the flood pressure switch

Tapping on the flood pressure switch with the handle of a screw driver may reset it. Reassemble the washer and see if it will work properly. If not, then you will need to replace the flood pressure switch. The part number for the flood pressure switch is 8054767. You can order this part from the Sears PartsDirect website. The part number for the flood pressure switch is 8054767.

Just replaced the motor and pump, 3 weeks ago.

The FL error code means:
Flood Condition:
FL flashes if any overfill condition occurs. This condition occurs when excessive water in the tub causes the overfill switch to trip. The control must realize that the trip was due to an overfill condition instead of a suds lack condition in order for FL to be displayed

With an overfill condition, the beeper repeats a warning every 10 seconds with no time-out. The pump is cycled in drain mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill switch resets or power is discontinued to the unit.

Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.

This problem I see on these are the water pumps getting clogged with lint or other things, causing the pump not to pump all of the water out at times.

There is a check "valve" in the drain assembly that seems to sometimes cause problems with the FL error code. You can remove this piece, and might avoid changing the pump.
