Washing machine will not stop filling

That sounds like the water supply solenoid valve has failed.

Sounds like water leak under machine, Polystyrene Float switch activated keeping pump on thus avoiding flood.

Hi,
If you have a problem with your washeror dishwasher continuing to fillwith water after the valve has closed, then you this tip will help youunderstand why that is happening.

Here is a tip that will help you...

Washer orDishwasher Fills with Water when off

The fill cycle on your washer is controlled by the pressure switch. That's the component inside the console that has a (either rubber, or clear vinyl) hose attached to it. Its function is to respond to the air pressure associated with water filling the tub, by closing a set of electrical contacts and allowing the machine to go into the wash mode. If the air hose becomes clogged with debris or lint, the signal won't reach the timer, and the machine can overfill.

To determine whether this is the cause of your problem, set your machine on the smallest load setting and watch the fill. As the water exceeds the level you're accustomed to, unplug, or turn off the machine. If it stops filling, the problem is probably a clogged air hose. Disconnect it from the switch and blow through it until you can hear air going through (make sure you drain the machine, first). If it continues to fill after the power is disconnected, the problem is not with the level switch, or the air hose; instead, it's fouled water valve.

The water works by opening and closing by solenoids (one solenoid for each water temperature). When sediment from the cod water accumulates in the valve's inlet, it can foul the valve seat, and it will stop closing all the way. If it gets bad enough, it can cause a flood.

There's really no good way to clean a fouled water valve. It will have to be replaced.

if the unit is not flooding the floor pull up the drain hose to the high part of the control panel.make sure to pause or turn the unit off let the water drain out of the hose when it has stopped the restart your machine.
if the unit is flooding then you need to check the pressure switch

Hi, The inlet valve has gone bad. If you would get me a model #, I could look up the part# and instruct you on how to change it.

Thanks

Sounds like the water level sensing sub-system is malfunctioning. If you want to pursue this further, let me know.

Sounds like your inlet valve is stuck Open ( meaning it wont shut off incoming water ) That may be defective or the control to it may be at fault.. Try unplugging the washer ..and see if the water still continues to fill up the drum? If that happens, then your valve is probably in need of replacement.. Typically, when de-energized..they close and stop water from entering the system.. Hope that helps

Sounds like your control board is shot. Do you have 120VAC going into it?
