• Problem with water inlet valves.
• Pressure transducer fault on main control.
• Problem with lid lock mechanism.

1. 1

   Close the washer lid securely and ensure it locks properly.

2. 2

   Check the drain hose installation. Ensure it's not siphoning water out and is at the correct height (between 39 inches and 8 feet from the floor).

3. 3

   Verify that the drain hose is not inserted too far (not more than 4.5 inches) into the drain pipe.

4. 4

   If water continues to fill, immediately turn off the water supply valves to the washer.

5. 5

   Unplug the washer for 30 seconds, then plug it back in to reset the control.
