Well someone on here said type pressure indicator is based on rotation or something not actual pressure. Possible the screw affected the reading.

I think sometimes the sensors can give false alarms, mine was playing up for some weeks but only after every wash and when stationary and then righted itself so may have just thrown a wobbly on yours. Having said that keep an eye on your pressures.
