Possible Causes

Partially blocked pressure chamber, Stiff or slow pressure switch, Inlet valve not closing quickly, Control board calibration drift

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water tap before accessing internal level components.

  • 1. Clean filters and sump: Ensure the sump and filters are clean so water can drain freely between phases.
  • 2. Pressure system cleaning: Access the side or base to locate the pressure chamber and hose. Remove and flush them with hot water to clear grease and residue.
  • 3. Check inlet valve behavior: During fill, listen for the valve clicking off promptly when the correct level is reached. If it dribbles on, the valve may be sticking.
  • 4. Replace suspect parts: If cleaning does not help, replace the pressure switch or inlet valve as appropriate.
  • 5. Technician help: If overfill persists, the control board may require calibration or replacement.
