Possible Causes

Blocked pressure hose, Faulty water level sensor, Stuck-open water inlet valve, Control board not shutting valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If overfilling occurs, immediately unplug the unit and shut off water supply to prevent flooding.

  • Inspect inlet valve: If water continues to flow with power off, the inlet valve is mechanically stuck open and must be replaced.
  • Check pressure hose: Clear any blockages and ensure tight connections at tub and sensor.
  • Replace sensor: If hose is clear but level is still incorrect, replace the water level pressure sensor.
  • Control board: If valve only overfills when powered and sensor is good, the main PCB may be faulty and require replacement.
