We have water coming out of all taps except the master tub. It does have a light drip when I turn it on.Is there a tub valve somewhere that I missed. Can't get into the wall. Could it be in the attic?

Sounds much like the rubber diaphragm in the water inlet valve is split, which means that as long as the water tap is on you will get that drip drip drip of water into the machine.
You can still use the machine until you fix the problem, but the most obvious short term thing to do is to turn the water taps off when the machine is not in use.
To determine which machine inlet valve is leaking, turn on both taps, then turn off, first the HOT water tap as this is more often than not the least used. If the leaking persists, then it is the Cold Water Inlet Valve you need to replace on your machine.
While this repair can be done by a suitably skilled handyman, I always urge caution, because the average guy may just not have as well instilled "Safety Consciousness" as the professional technician who does this sort of thing all the time.
Remember, you are dealing with 240v A.C. which can deliver a LETHAL shock.......so unplug the power cord when doing any work as the least of safety steps to take. It only takes one forgetful mistake which could result in injury or worse!

Washing machine fills with water while sitting idle.

Another problem could be the inlet solenoid is failing to close properly, this could be caused by either an obstruction in the sealing part of the solenoid valve, a damaged or worn out seal or if the water pressure is too low. (some solenoids require water pressure to close off properly). To test this idea turn off the taps when not in use. If the water is still filling the tub, the back flow / syphoning idea may be valid. Also just to rule the idea out, turn off the tap to the machine and remove the inlet hose, if the tap "drips" this "trickle" of water maybe the culprit. If turning off the inlet tap fixes the problem you may need to replace the inlet solenoid.

Hi just read your posting.1st try turning the hot water tap off and see if the water continues to come into the tub.If the water continues to come into the tub then turn the cold tap off.If the water stops coming into the tub after the hot water tap is turned off then you need a hot water valve.If the water stops after the cold tap is turned off then the cold water valve is still faulty.Please reply on how you got on and I will help you further.Looking forward to your reply.

Water leaking (dripping) into the drum when machine is off. Drip is coming from where water dispenses into the machine to fill the drum.

Hi just read your posting.The fault with your machine is a faulty water valve.1st turn off the cold tap to the machine and leave for a couple of hrs.If the dripping stops you have a faulty cold valve.If the dripping does not stop then turn off the hot tap and that should stop the leak.Either way to fix this fault a water valve must be replaced.Or you can stop the drip by just turning the taps off after the washing has finished.Hope this helps and please reply for further help if needed.

Slow drip near back of lid

Hi there.this may be water dripping from the injector tube where the water actually enters the bowl.It is normal to drip for a short while after the machine has just been used but if it is a constant drip then you probably have a faulty inlet valve.Try this,turn off one of the taps & see if dripping stops.if not,turn off tha other tap & see if it stops.this will tell you which of the valves are leaking.You could just turn the taps off after use,that would save having to replace it.Hope that helped you.if not then give more detail if possible please.cheers!

Water is dripping into the wash tub when not in use.

Turn the taps off when not using it or turn off one tap and see if it stops to work out if it is the cold or hot valve and replace the valve.

Water drips inside tub when washer is not in use. Can't tell exactly where it's coming from or how to get inside the back.

Water valve needs replacing. Determine which one by turning off either hot or cold at the wall and watching to see if drip stops.
Alternatively, just turn off the wall taps each time you finish washing.

Water Dripping

you need a new fill valve, even if you ulplug the washer does it still drip? If yes then you do need a new fill valve. Just turn water off at the wall so your machine don't overfill.

Hi,My lg wm3987hw washer/dryer switches off almost immediately after it is powered on. Sometimes right away and sometimes after a few seconds. All buttons seem to work. Is this a control board issue? I tried unplugging and holding down Power and Start/Pause buttons. Also drained and cleaned filter. All hoses, lines, and power cord okay.

You could/can, but don't forget that (a) there is a good chance of heavy condesation, so size pan appropriately, or drain...and (b) The enclosed space where the drip pan is, is going to get quite warm. Hope this helps
