How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer and close water valves immediately to stop filling. Bail out excess water if necessary.
Steps to check and correct:
- Inspect pressure hose: Access the pressure switch and ensure the hose is firmly attached and not split.
- Clean air trap: Remove and clean the air trap on the tub where the hose connects.
- Test pressure switch: Verify switching action with a multimeter while applying gentle air pressure.
- Check inlet valve: If water continues to enter with power off, the valve is mechanically stuck and must be replaced.
- Test operation: After repairs, run a fill test and monitor water level closely.
