It is only early Westys that turn off the pump when the tank is too
empty. These have a different kitchen led board with 2 red leds at the
bottom of the left set of leds. When the bottom most red led is on the
board has disabled power to the pump. On these the fridge pilot led is
in the middle of the board and not at the bottom of the left set. This
version is 80/81, and a few early 82.
