You have a faulty float switch and possibly timer

  • Steve Archer Jan 06, 2009

    the float switch is located inside the tub fill area Unfortunately you cannot get to it without removing the housing

    if your washer has different load levels...small medium etc try setting on small load

    If you are handy you can remove the housing to get to the float model

    also check the solenoid that controls the water

Keeps filling up with water randomly during a cycle
Remember sometimes there is a rinse and soak that happens in some models, and if everything is running normal then all your getting is the occassional water release during certain cycles.

Washer wont fill up during rinse cycle
all rinse cycles are filled with cold water to keep the clothes from wrinkling.set up the washer to run with just cold water.start it,if no water comes into washer,shut down your house water valve that fills the washer,take off the cold water hose,stick it in the washer or if there's a sink or where ever and turn on the water,if water comes out of the hose then you need a new water valve on the washer

Water won't fill
it's syphoning caused by the drain hose in the stand pipe (wall) too far.
pull the drain hose out and stick in 6 inches only and secure to one of the fill hoses so it does not go back down too far. This will solve your problem

This sounds like your water fill valve is bad and will need to be replaced.

Bosch dishwasher fills with water after cycle is completed
Sounds like you need a new water inlet valve. It's not shutting off completely, so water slowly enters the machine even while it isn't running.

Will fill but not wash or spin
Does the motor run?  Does the water get pumped out at the end of wash cycle or during the rinse cycle or when you turn the dial by hand to the end of a cycle?  If the water gets pumped out then the motor is OK but the clutch is not working.  If the motor is not running then that is the problem.  If the water fills and then nothing happens (the dial does not turn by itself) the timer is bad.  If the timer is bad but you turn it by hand the other actions (wash, rinse, etc. should work indicating no problems with motor and clutch).

Will not hold water during initial cycle
The drain hose needs to be lifted above the high fill level in washer.The easiest way to fix this is take the drain hose (if your drain hose starts from the bottom of machine and goes up)tie or strap it to the back of the washer so it cant sag or drop down and start syphoning the water.Remember the washer will drain out the water if the drain hose is lower than the amount of water in the tub.Thats why your making sure by tieing the drain hose to the highest point before it makes it way to the drain .
