Possible Causes

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

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off water supply and unplug the unit immediately if overfilling occurs.

  • Shut off water: Close both hot and cold supply valves to stop filling.
  • Inspect inlet valve: If water continues to flow into the drum with power off, the inlet valve is mechanically stuck open and must be replaced.
  • Check pressure hose and sensor: Remove the top panel and inspect the pressure hose and sensor as described for E7. Clear any blockages and ensure tight connections.
  • Test fill: Restore water and power, then run a small cycle while monitoring the fill level. If overfilling recurs, replace the water level sensor and/or inlet valve assembly.
  • Control board check: If valves and sensor are new and correctly installed, the main control board may be failing to shut off the valve and should be evaluated by a technician.
