Possible Causes
Defective pressure switch, blocked or leaking pressure hose, air leak at tub air dome, wiring fault to control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and ensure the drum is empty before tipping or moving the machine.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Inspect pressure hose: Remove the top panel. Locate the small hose from the tub to the pressure switch. Check for splits, pinholes, or loose connections. Replace if damaged.
- 2. Clean air dome: At the tub connection, remove any soap scum or lint blocking the air passage. A blocked dome prevents accurate level sensing.
- 3. Test pressure switch: Disconnect the switch. Using a multimeter, check continuity between terminals while gently blowing into the pressure port. You should see contacts open/close as pressure changes. If not, replace the switch.
- 4. Check for water in hose: Remove the hose and shake out any trapped water, which can cause false readings.
- 5. Wiring check: Inspect the harness from the pressure switch to the control board for damage or loose connectors. Repair as needed.
