How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and water before any inspection.
- Check tub float: Inside the tub, locate and move the float assembly up and down. Ensure it is not stuck in the 'up' position. Clean any debris.
- Inspect base pan: Remove the kick plate and check for water in the base pan. Dry thoroughly and locate any leaks as described in leak-related fault guides.
- Test float switch: Use a multimeter to test the float switch for proper operation. Replace if it is stuck in the closed position.
- Water level switch: Inspect and test the water level pressure switch and its hose for blockages or failure.
