Possible Causes

Faulty pressure sensor, Blocked pressure hose, Wiring issue to sensor

Safety First: Turn off power before accessing internal components.

Locate pressure sensor: Some Whirlpool models use a pressure sensor connected to the sump via a small hose.
Inspect hose: Check the small hose for kinks, clogs, or water trapped where it should be air-filled. Clean or replace if blocked.
Check sensor connector: Ensure the sensor wiring is secure and not corroded.
Replace sensor: If the hose is clear and wiring is good, replace the pressure sensor with the correct part.
