The water coming in to my Hotpoint Washing Machine won't stop. Even if I turn the washer off the water keeps coming in...help?!!

That sounds like the inlet valve has failed in the closed position. If you see some water coming into the washer initially, then one of two inlet valves is not working. Depending on the washer, you may have to replace the entire inlet valve assembly.

Most washers have a pressure switch or flow sensor that detects if the expected amount of water has reached the tub. If the flow isn't there, then the washer will stop. (If water goes into the washer and then gets pumped out, check the position of the drain hose. The end has to be above the highest water level in the washer.)

If you add a comment with the model number, I may be able to find the parts list for your washer. I hope this helps.

the washing machine is designed with a timer limit switch have the switch checked.

maybe pipe broken :? ?)

Water valve is stuck open, probably by lime or calcium build-up. Proper fix is to replace the water valve. How old is the washer?

Try unplugging the unit and plug it back in. This may reset the controls.

It is possible that you have a bad water valve. Turn off the water when the machine not in use if the problem stops the water is probably coming in through a defective valve.

You must get the filter out, as there is a very good chance that this is the prob, keep unscrewing it and try to move it about, then screw it back in again , and then out again, hopefully this will dislodge whatever it is that is holding the filtter in.
Plz rate thiese comments.
Thanks.

this m,eans the water is not entering the machine it iseither the inlet valve or water off at tap

washer top load will not stop filling even when turned off

The only time the lights kept flashing on my Hotpoint machine was when the outflow pipe going into the ubend was blocked,

Check for blockages, but make sure that you have a bucket or pan ready to collect the water flow.

I hope this helps
