Water pump cycling - combo washer dryer.

porthole

Retired
After doing the spring get ready and first trip I finally decided to tackle my water pump cycling. It would cycle for a moment every couple of minutes. Barely noticeable unless all was real quiet. The variable speed pumps only run enough to make the required pressure, opposed to the older versions that run at full speed whenever activated.

No leaks found anywhere so I just assumed it was the pump leaking internally.

Buy chance I had my "good ear" next to the washer/dryer and I could barely here an odd noise. Turns out the hot water valve in the machine must be leaking. Shut off the supply valves and pump cycling is gone.

Now to figure out the leaking valve issue. At least it leaks into the washer and not the floor somewhere.

Duane, if anybody can figure it out, I'm sure you can! Ironic we were just discussing your w/d combo a couple of days ago...
