Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the washer and shut off water supply immediately if overfilling occurs.
Step-by-step checks:
- Check drain hose height: Ensure the drain hose is installed at the correct height and not lying on the floor, which can cause siphoning.
- Inspect pressure hose and switch: Follow the procedures in F05/F10 to ensure the pressure system is intact and not blocked.
- Test inlet valve: With power off but water on, observe if water continues to enter the tub. Replace the valve if it leaks.
When to replace: Replace a leaking inlet valve or faulty pressure switch. Persistent overfill after these repairs may indicate a control board issue.
