LG WM-1285FHD

[Bryan]

Called out to this machine today with repoted fault of drum overfilling with water. Customer put machine on and sure enough it was taking in too much water. Stopped it , drained water and had a quick look at pressure hose and vessel , both of which seemed fine.
Decided to try machine again you`ve guessed it……everything ok :?.
Tried it again on several different settings and worked fine every time.

Don`t work much on LG machines and wondered if anyone knew of any common overfilling problem as I hate leaving a machine like this although customer has been well warned to keep an eye on it.

No error code.

Strange looking pressure switch , do these cause problems ❓

Any help much appreciated.

Generally no, they are the “analogic” type, they change resistance as the pressure increases and rely on a low power (5V-12V I think :?) to work.

Probably an air lock or there’s a tiny hole/split in the pressure tube/chamber ?

If it’s anything like the machine I was doing the hose is ribbed so it would be difficult to see a hole.
