How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off power and close the water supply valve before accessing any fill components.
- Verify water pressure: Ensure household water pressure is adequate and not fluctuating. Very low pressure can cause fill measurement errors.
- Check inlet screen: Clean the inlet valve screen to ensure proper flow (see F1 procedure).
- Power reset: After restoring water flow, reset power at the breaker for 5 minutes and run a short cycle.
- When to call for service: If F7 returns, the internal flow meter or control board needs diagnosis and likely replacement by a technician.
