Had the same thing happen as Brewski mentioned. Remove and clean that valve that is located in the control valve. It isn't hard to do.

This sounds like a priority valve problem. We have had some stick due to debris in the valve. Valve is located in the main valve first section.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
