Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and shut off both hot and cold water supply valves.
- Check water valves: Turn water supplies back on briefly while the unit is unplugged. If water continues to flow into the tub, the inlet valve is mechanically stuck open and must be replaced.
- Inspect pressure system: Verify the pressure hose from tub to pressure switch is not kinked, blocked, or disconnected. Clean or replace as needed.
- Test pressure switch: Ensure the switch clicks when gentle air pressure is applied (advanced users). Replace if it does not respond or tests out of spec.
- Re-test fill: After repairs, restore power and run a small load, monitoring fill level. The water should stop at the normal level and F08 should not reappear.
When to call a technician: Persistent overfill with good valves and pressure system may indicate a control board fault requiring professional diagnosis.
