Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If the washer is overfilling, immediately unplug it and shut off both water supply valves to prevent flooding.
Step-by-step:
- Check water valves: With power off, turn water back on briefly. If water flows into the washer with no power, the inlet valve is stuck open and must be replaced.
- Inspect pressure hose: Ensure the hose from the tub air dome to the pressure switch is securely attached and not split or blocked.
- Test pressure switch: Verify the switch responds to pressure changes (per tech sheet). Replace if it does not change state.
- Control board: If valves and pressure system are good but the control continues to overfill, the control board may be defective.
When to call a technician: Overflow conditions can cause significant water damage. If you cannot quickly identify and correct the cause, contact a professional immediately.
