Possible Causes
Stuck open water inlet valve, blocked or disconnected pressure hose, faulty pressure switch, siphoning due to drain hose installed too low
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the washer and close water supply valves.
Steps:
- Check inlet valve: With the washer unplugged, see if water continues to enter. If yes, replace the water inlet valve assembly.
- Inspect pressure hose: Remove top panel, locate pressure switch and hose. Ensure hose is attached, not cracked, and not clogged. Blow through to clear.
- Verify drain hose height: Ensure the drain hose is installed at the correct height (usually 30–96 inches above floor) to prevent siphoning.
- Test pressure switch: Use a meter to verify switch operation per service specs. Replace if faulty.
