Have you checked your water pressure? Ideally it should be around 50

PSI. If it's considerably higher you need a reducing valve on the main

line.

Oh dear. It started when they raised our water pressure. From the scary sound, I took it as a sign to replace a severe kink in the feed pipe with a sharkbite, because i was warned here the kink would eventually leak. This went well for about a minute, then gave thunderous chattering.

Well, i have checked the float valve, and next will crank down the hot water valve down to near closed. I also may have pulled out a control wire when jamming the machine into its cubby hole. Yhanks all.
