Symptom / Description

FAULT

Machine has overfilled with water / Leaking

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

Too much water has entered the drum, detected by the pressure switch. Can be a faulty inlet valve stuck open or a pressure switch fault.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Turn off the water supply. Check the water inlet valve to see if it's closing properly. Inspect the pressure switch and its connecting tube for blockages or faults.

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
