- Sump: Any leaking water is collected
in a sump in the base of the machine.
A float switches off the water inlet
valves, preventing any more water
from flowing into the machine and
water in the suds container is
pumped away.
- Overflow protection: This prevents
the washing machine taking in too
much water. If the water level ex-
ceeds a certain level, the drain pump
switches on and pumps the excess
water away in a controlled way.
