Admiral ATW4516MW HE Washer 4.3 cu ft High Efficiency Top Load Washer with Deep Fill and Dual Action Agitator Overflows Error Fix: Washer Overflows — Water Will Not Stop Filling

Water continues to fill the tub beyond the proper level and overflows. The water level pressure switch may be faulty — this switch connects to the tub via a small rubber air tube. If the tube is kinked, cracked, disconnected, or if the air dome (where the tube connects to the tub) is clogged with detergent residue, the switch never senses the correct water level and keeps the inlet valve open. Check the small rubber tube running from the side of the outer tub up to the pressure switch on the control panel. Blow through the tube to verify it is clear. If the tube and dome are clear, the pressure switch itself may need replacement. A stuck-open inlet valve diaphragm can also cause overflow.
