My 2005 Journey has external proximity sensors on the gray water holding tank for detecting the waste water level. These are the black square stick on type with the white + sigh in the center. Like most other types of sensors they are susceptible to sending false positive signals when guck builds up on the inside of the tank. When Dish soap and tank cleaners don’t do the job, I have the good solution to the problem.

Ten hours later and about twenty plastic razor blades the hood is looking really good. My choice of solvent was mineral spirits, but I am searching for something better for the next section. Some plastic scrapers from Harbor Freight may also make the job easier.

There are any number of things that can go wrong with a Splendide WD2000s Washer Dryer Combo.

In my 2005 Journey there is a SurFlow 3 chamber water pump that runs when the pressure drops below some predetermined point. The exact point is unknown to me but probably something like 20 to 30 PSI. If the system is tight, meaning no leaks at all, it will not come on without opening a faucet or flushing the toilet. If there is a tiny leak, it will come on briefly every hour or so. I lived with the tiny leak scenario for two years but then it began to run nearly continuously and air would spit from...
