Water leakes from every setting on a variflow valve
I had replaced the gasket with the wedge openings, the spring and washers. When I put it together it leaked out the waste hose on every setting. I wondered if I had put it together pointing at the wrong word for the action, so I checked every setting. Water either trickled or gushed out of the waste hose at EVERY setting.

If a new gasket didn't solve your problem then you will need to search for a crack in the plastic either in the gasket seating groove or the diffuser that rides atop the gasket. Whether it is fixable or not will depend on what is cracked. The diffuser can be replaced...the groove can not. A new top-mount valve is about $100.
