GE Overfill / Water Level Control Failure

Washer overfills or water level is too high and may overflow.

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

Pressure hose disconnected or leaking, Failed pressure sensor, Stuck-open water inlet valve, Control board not shutting off fill

Safety First: Immediately turn off water supply and unplug the washer if overfilling occurs.

Check inlet valves: If water continues to flow with power off, the inlet valve is mechanically stuck open and must be replaced.
Inspect pressure hose: Ensure the hose is firmly connected at both the tub and control and has no cracks or holes.
Replace pressure sensor: If the hose is intact but overfill persists, replace the GE water level pressure sensor.
