Flow meter stationary state monitor — water
From Service Manual 147400, p.12:
1.Check water inlet valve for proper operation; may be stuck in open position.
2.Measure the inlet valve coil resistance at the valve connector. Expected: 1,000 to 1,200 ohms per coil at room temperature.
3.Verify static water supply pressure at the inlet hose. Below 20 psi or fluctuating supply commonly triggers fill-timeout faults.
