Ikea Pressure System or Siphoning Issue

Washer-dryer fills and drains repeatedly without progressing in the cycle

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Blocked pressure hose, Faulty pressure switch, Drain hose installed too low causing siphoning, Control board misinterpreting level

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and close the water tap before internal checks.

Step-by-step checks:

1. Check drain hose height and routing: Ensure the drain hose is at the correct height and not inserted too far into the standpipe, which can cause siphoning.
2. Inspect pressure hose: Remove the top cover and check the pressure switch hose for kinks or blockages. Clean as needed.
3. Test pressure switch: Verify that the switch clicks and changes continuity when gently blowing into it. Replace if faulty.
