Water probe may need to be cleaned or replaced. Also make sure the water inlet valve is not stuck open. Manitowocs have a l.e.d. that lights up if the water probe senses water. If that is lit then your inlet valve is stuck open.

There are a few other potential causes for slow water flow in a washing machine:
Clogged or partially clogged water inlet valve: The water inlet valve is responsible for controlling the flow of water into the washing machine. If it is clogged or partially clogged, it can cause a reduction in water flow.
Washing machine pump: The pump is responsible for moving water through the washing machine. If it is damaged or not functioning properly, it can cause a reduction in water flow.
Water supply hose: The hose that supplies water to the washing machine may be clogged or damaged, which could cause a reduction in water flow.
The washing machine itself: There could be an issue with the internal components of the washing machine that is causing the slow water flow.
If you have checked the filters, water pressure, and solenoid and they are all functioning properly, you may want to try checking the water inlet valve, pump, water supply hose, and the washing machine itself for any issues that could be causing the slow water flow.
please remember to open any valves that you might have closed in order to stop water flow to the fridge/freezer. This should be the only thing stopping water flow even the old column does not lead to current water flow into your freezer.
That would for any number of reasons that the Flow Switch is not sensing enough water flow to trip the sensor/pressure switch or actual true water flow switch.
Heater will not run or heat, if there is not enough water flowing!
The heater will sense this. So, whatever will restrict or stop sufficient water flow is the problem.
Dirty filter
Closed valves
Not enough water in tub or pool - low water level
Clogged pump impeller
Clogged baskets:
at pump or at skimmers
Clog / stopped up plumbing line
And finally, you may have a bad flow switch/sensor
The low flow message on any Balboa means that you are having an issue with the flow of water through your heating unit. This can be caused by a few things.
Low water levels
Dirty filters
Something is impeding your water flow
Top up your water level and make sure it is where it needs to be, clean your filters or replace them, and check that nothing is impeding your water flow at the skimmer or water intakes.
The water flow needs to be checked,if the flow of water is very slow or no water is flowing then water dispenser will not dispense water.But water flow is checked ok then other possibilities like water valve and water line needs to be inspected.For more details.Click the link below:---
The vibration is a tiny bit of "water hammer." Previous to your filter change, the water flow was restricted, and therefore incapable of causing water hammer. Now that you've changed the filter, the flow is large enough to cause a little water hammer when you shut off the flow. How to fix: shut off the flow SLOWLY. Water hammer is caused when the flow of water is shut down quickly. This is just as true with large flows (as in fire engine pump panels), as it is in itsy bitsy filtered water lines & filter housings.
What is happening is that your cold water flow is greater in volume (gals per min) than your hot water. So when you open the cold water it is mixing with the hot water inside the faucett or shower plumbing and actually reverse flowing back into the hot water heater plumbing. The reverse flow slows the water flow sensing turbine inside the heater and it is thinking that there is not any water flow. (There isn't actually due to the equalization of water pressure when you open the cold water faucett) Since this is a safety feature of the tankless heater to keep it from overheating, it shuts off.
Somewhere in the hot water plumbing there is a major restriction. It may very well be the internal plumbing of the tankless hot water heater or the flow detector design.
There are 2 ways to correct this. The easy way would be to restrict the available cold water flow. You can do this by installing another shut off valve inline with the cold water plumbing and just not open the valve all the way. You would have to adjust the setting so that the hot and cold water can be on at the same time and the hot water heater stays on. The hard way is to locate the hot water flow restriction and eliminate it.
It is possible.... if you have a flow restrictor in a shower head or a screen in a faucett areator that they are partially clogged. Clean any flow restrictors and screens then see how the hot water heater performs before you start modifying plumbing.
It might be a question of inadequate flow. All tankless water heaters have a minimum flow rate that must be met, typically .5-.9 gpm, before the heater will operate. In the summer time the incoming ground water temperature is higher, causing you to mix more cold water and less hot water to get a lukewarm temperature. This can reduce your flow rate near or below the minimum flow rate. Here's a test for you, try running running a sink while taking your next shower. If the hot water remains mostly constant throughout, then your problem is with flow at the showerhead. The flow at a shower head can be reduced by buildup of scale and sediment. Also all showerheads have a flow restrictor that limits flow to 2.5gpm (some even less). Removing the restrictor will increase the showerhead flow rate as well. Also look for any error code displayed on the digital read out of the heater. Some heaters will flash on their burner indicate light as well.
I installed this humidifier (and had a lot of trouble installing it!) and was surprised by the flow of water. Mine leaks out of the bottom of the unit so I haven't actually used it yet. I'll try to figure out why it's leaking this weekend. I thought there would be less water flowing through the pad. I suspect that the weight of the unit is causing it to not be plumb so some water is dripping off of the pad and past the drain tray.
