Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit immediately and mop up water. Do not operate with standing water inside.
Steps to correct overfilling:
- 1. Inspect float movement: Remove the reservoir and verify the float moves freely from low to high positions. Clean and descale as needed.
- 2. Test water level switch: Use a multimeter to ensure the switch changes state as the float moves. Replace if it remains stuck.
- 3. Check overflow path: Ensure any overflow or drain hose is not blocked or kinked.
- 4. Inspect PCB response: If the switch works but the pump continues to run and overfill, the main control board may not be reading the signal correctly and may need replacement.
Warning: Water contacting electrical parts can cause shock or fire; allow everything to dry completely before reassembly and testing.
