Water runs into drum when machine is off!

See what happens if you completely remove electrical power from the machine (by turning off at the wall, or unplugging it) If the water keeps coming in even with the power off(easily the morelikely outcome), then you need to replace the fill valve. On most machines, you get to this by taking the top cover off and looking inside at the point where the water inlet hose comes in. The plastic fitting that the hose screws onto is in fact part of the valve that you want to replace (you'll recognise it by the row of solenoid valves - 2 or 3 of them, each with a pair of wires on the top, and a hose trailing off to some part of the machine coming out the bottom). Fitting a new one is quite easy - just make sure you mark all the hoses and wires before you remove the old valve so you can put them all back in the right place. If the problem goes away when you turn the power off (a far more unlikely result), then you need to look for problems with the programmer and wiring. Tracking these down is a lot more involved, and potentially more expensive. A.
