Possible Causes

Stuck or blocked pressure sensor hose, Faulty water level sensor, Inlet valve stuck open mechanically, Control board not shutting off fill

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off power and water immediately if overfilling is observed.

  • Shut off water: Close the supply valve under the sink to stop filling.
  • Inspect pressure hose: Access the pressure sensor and clear any blockage in the hose as described in the i40 section.
  • Check inlet valve: If water continues to flow into the tub with power off, the inlet valve is stuck open and must be replaced.
  • Test sensor: Replace the water level/pressure sensor if it does not respond correctly after cleaning.
