Water supply circuit fault detected (high
From Tech Sheet W11472328, p.20:
1.First check to see that all water valves are not stuck. If water valves are OK, check water inlet sensor.
2.Measure drain pump winding resistance at connector J7 on the main control. Expected: 12 to 16 ohms at room temperature.
3.Back-probe the pump driver output under load. Verify the board switches the pump at 120 VAC during the drain portion of the cycle.
