Drain Pump
To check the drain pump first see if you hear it when it is agitating if
it is it is unlikely to be the drain pump. If you hear it in spin or
drain cycle check the filter.Some have a small cover in the lower front
put a screwdriver in the hole and turn counterclockwise to remove. There
will be a cover to remove, water will come out so be prepared with a
towel or wet vac. Clean this out. Other Machines will need to access the
drain pump to get to the filter. This can be done by removing the back panel on some washers. On others you will need to remove the lower panel or complete front panel depending on model. The filter is located inside the large hose from the tub to the pump. Remove the hose and clean the filter.
If you hear the pump making noises you will need to remove the drain
pump and check for obstructions, broken impeller, or not spinning
freely. Remove obstructions if it does not spin freely replace the drain
pump. If you hear it hum replace the pump.
Struts/ Shocks
The struts can cause squeaking noise or vibrations. You will need to remove the back panel , top panel, or lower front panel then run machine to check if the noise is coming from the struts. If it is replace the struts
Motor
If the motor hums, rattles,or squeals replace the motor. This is easy to do. Remove the back panel then run machine to check for noises.
Belt
Check the belt for making noises by removing the rear panel and then running the machine, if it is making any noise replace the belt
Rear Bearing
To check the rear bearing remove the back panel
and listen for noises or any water leakage around the bearing. If any
noise is heard replace the rear bearing. Check with service manual all
bearings are not repairable. The outer drum may get damaged trying to
replace this bearing on some models.
Proceed according and fix it. God bless you

You get these messages turned off by fixing the problem.
Low water pressure is basically one of the valves is not letting water pass through.
1. Do as you already did and clean the inlet filters. Any kinked hoses?
2. Adjust the water pressure in the house. Is it too high or too low?
3. Replace the valves in the unit.
