How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately turn off water supply valves and unplug the washer if water is still entering. Prevent flooding.
Step-by-step:
- Stop water flow: Close both hot and cold supply valves at the wall.
- Drain excess water: Run a drain/spin if possible, or manually bail water into a bucket.
- Inspect inlet valve: With power disconnected and hoses removed, check the inlet valve for mineral buildup or damage. A valve that allows water through when de-energized must be replaced.
- Check pressure system: Inspect the pressure hose and switch as described for F08/F09. Clear any blockages.
- Replace faulty parts: Replace the water inlet valve if it is mechanically stuck. Replace the pressure switch if it does not sense level correctly.
