The water keeps running when the steam option was selected even after turn off. So we had to disconnected the hot water tubing.
For model number MED5100DW1
Hello Nancy, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, we recommend checking the water inlet valve, part number PS11723093. If it is faulty, replace it. If this does not solve your problem, the electronic control board, part number PS11731094, is probably the issue and needs to be replaced. We hope that helps!
