We have had problems with it overfilling and with it not spinning. \r\nTo fix the overfilling problem, I changed the pressure switch and tubing and it worked for about a week without overfiling, but I had to have it set on small and the amount of water it is filling up with is a lot more than small. Now it is overfilling even on small. The washer also isn't going to the spin cycle on it's own. If I change the program to spin only and reset the water level then press start it will spin without a problem. I am wondering what could wrong, the control board or something else..

Did you blow some air through the pressure tube to make sure it goes through?
