You have a faulty fill valve. Return/ replace you washer if under warranty. If not then you will have to replace your fill control valve. That valve is where the knob for the fill level is.

Hi There,
I have just spoken to a technician here at Danby and he suggested to replace the washer in the hose.

If that doesn't work, please feel free to contact our customer service department at 1-800-26-DANBY (1-800-263-2629)

Hi,
If it does not fill then nothing else will work either.
First take off the hoses and check the screens going into the washer, they are usually right where the hoses hook up. Make sure they are clean and then check each hose to make sure you have water from them.
If that does not work then check that you have power to the solenoid valves. Theses are magnetic valves that open to let the water in. They are on the plastic valve body where the hoses hook.
If you have power there when you try to start the washer and no water then the solenoid valves are the problem. If there is no power there then the timer has probably gone bad.
There is a slight possiblity that the fill switch failed, but that usually fails and runs the washer over, not so that it won't fill. :-)

I hope that this will help you to solve your problem!

Thanks for using Fixya!!

Hi, It sounds like the drain hose has dropped lower then the water level in the washer. Check and see if the hose end is as high as the top of the washer.
I hope this helps you.

Replace fill valve. It is located where the water hooks up to washer. Easy to change. The valve gets plugged with sediment and needs to be replaced.

The motor is $200.00. You could replace it yourself.

nail washer to floor or strong glue it to the floor

I found the problem to be the tap nozzle that was supplied when I bought the washer, it didn't work at all. I ended up going to Home Depot and picking up another one, it has been working well since then.
