Flow meter error
Common Causes
- 1Flow meter malfunction

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Check water supply pressure for stability during fill
- 2
Inspect flow meter turbine for calcium/mineral deposits
- 3
Test flow meter signal output at the ELP board connector
- 4
Verify wiring harness between flow meter and control board

Pro Diagnostic Tip
