• Helps ensure correct fill level and timing for each cycle
• Common failure symptoms: won't fill or slow fill, water seeping into tub when off, external leak at valve connections, loud buzzing/chattering during fill
• May set fill or water supply-related error codes on some models

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
