Machine intermitently overflows.

I cleaned the tube to the pressure switch. I didn't notice any clogging. Blowing into the hose trips the pressure switch and there do not appear to be any leaks.

If I continue to experience this intermittent problem, should I look first at the inlet valve or the pressure switch?

FWIW, the machine will continue to fill until the water is shut off at the valve. Pushing the timer in and removing power to the machine does not appear to stop the water flow, but I did not wait to see if it would cycle when pulling the plug. I immediately turned of the spigot.

If you push to shut off water, it's pressure switch. If you shut off water to the machine, it's time to replace water valves!!!!!!
