hi, my hot water continues to fill up my tub and will not stop / when I was filling up the machine and it was ready to overflow I unplugged the electrical cord and then the water stopped, its my understandinf when that happens its the pressure switch and not the water valve??? if you feel it is the pressure switch?? where do I fine it on the machine and how much is the part? could it be another problem?? Thank you I need to try to fix this myself - out of work taking care of my disabled daughter

It is either the pressure switch or the tube that connects from the pressure switch to the tub. It is somewhat common for the tube to come loose on this model and that will cause your problem. The pressure switch is located in the control panel directly behind the knob that you turn for water level control. The tube connects to the bottom of the tub and you have to remove the case to see it. Once you get the case off follow the tube to the right backside of the tub and you should find where it connects. If it is off reconnect it and if not make sure it isn’t clogged or it could have a hole in it, check for that. If there isn’t anything wrong with the tube replace the pressure switch.
