Symptom / Description

FAULT

Machine overfills or anti-flood system activated

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The pressure switch is faulty or the tube connected to it is blocked or dislodged. Can also be caused by excessive foaming from too much detergent.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Check the pressure switch hose for blockages or leaks. Test the pressure switch. Run a rinse cycle to clear excess suds. Reduce detergent dosage in future washes.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Cut 230V mains power before accessing the upper chassis or pressure switch terminals.
  • !Drain appliance tub completely before disconnecting pressure switch sensing hoses.
  • !Never blow high-pressure compressed air into electronic analog pressure sensors: internal diaphragms will rupture!
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Disconnect the silicone pressure tube from the lower air trap and inspect for soap sludge, lint, or water blockage.
  • Inspect the flexible rubber hose along its entire length for pinholes, cracks, or loose clamp fit.
  • Thoroughly flush the lower compression chamber (air dome) with hot water to dissolve detergent buildup.
Perform these diagnostic steps before triggering AI Deep Search or replacing boards.Certified Workshop Routine
