Possible Causes

Blocked pressure switch hose, faulty pressure switch contacts, sticking water inlet valve, control board not closing valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: If overfilling occurs, switch off power and close the water tap immediately.

  • Check pressure system: Follow F04/F10 steps to clean and inspect the pressure hose and switch.
  • Test inlet valve: With the machine unplugged and water tap open, see if water continues to flow into the drum. If so, the valve is mechanically stuck open and must be replaced.
  • Control board: If the valve only overfills when powered, but tests fine mechanically, the control board may be energising it incorrectly and require replacement.
