Pressure Sensor Verification#
If supply valves are open, screens are clean, and hoses are not kinked, the pressure sensor may be at fault. The pressure tube connects the tub to the sensor on the control board. Detergent residue can block this tube, causing the board to misread water level. Disconnect the tube at the sensor end and blow through it to clear any blockage. If the tube is clear, the pressure sensor itself may have failed.
How Can You Prevent This?#
Leave both supply faucets fully open at all times. Close faucets only when moving the washer or servicing hose connections. Clean inlet screens every 12 months, or every 6 months in areas with hard water or sediment-prone supply lines.
