Question about GE WPGT9360EPL Top Load Washer

Flooding I came home from shopping one day and went to switch loads but the load in the washer still had some water in the bottom. I figured it just needed another spin and drain because it was bedding. A couple days later I woke up to find a flood and the washer was over filling with water. It had not been run since I washed bedding, but somehow had filled itself with water. There was an attention display saying to disconnect all water, a problem had been detected. Then it drained. What could have caused this. We are trying to turn the water back on to see what is going on or if we get another message.

Check the water inlet valve (An electromagnet valve, located at the pipe's entrance to the machine. Any obstruction in the valve may mean that it's no longer able to shut off completely when the electricity has been turned off to it. You can easily open the valve and clean it (from scale or other dirt). Be aware you should disconnect the power cable from machine before doing it !!! Good luck!

How do I fix my whirlpool SM8281115A top loader washing machine that stopped after I changed the load cycle from small to medium whilst it was washing

It sounds like the switch failed or bounced, depending on the control circuit. Cycle it a few times and see if it solves your problem. Do this with the washer unplugged.

Water keep filling til machine overflow and need to turn of water inlet valve

if you have to shut off the water supply valve of the residence (water keeps flowing after turning off the washing machine or unplugging the washer), the failed component is definitely a stuck open water inlet valve (fill valve) of the appliance. If the water stopped by pushing the timer or unplugging the machine, another internal electrical control related problem exists, such as a faulty timer assembly or controller board, or a pressure system failure (water level detection/monitoring system) - failed pressure switch (rare), clogged air hose or tub air dome (common in GE top-load washers), disconnected air hose (common in frigidaire top load washers & GE/Frigidaire/Kenmore stacked washer/dryer combo units).

While a simple repair can be done by yourself for a failed inlet valve, usually for $25-$50 in parts/shipping (go to searspartsdirect.com or appliancepartspros.com to look up a replacement fill-valve using your washing machine model number), the water damage potentially caused by the flooding is more important to address.

I recommend contacting your insurance company if there's a bunch of water that flooded your home - the water can cause delayed warping of flooring or cause mold to grow in/beneath your carpets and walls if the water was not immediately noticed and cleaned up (within first few minutes of flooding) - they send out water remediation specialists to dry (if possible), or to repair the damage to your home.

Machine wash ok but would not spin to take the water out of the clothe

Usually, this problem is due to a clog in front of the drain pump not allowing water to drain properly.
Remove the front lower panel by removing the 3 screws along the bottom (front).
The large plastic (3") cover of the "coin-catcher" in front of the pump then needs to be removed. It is easily seen facing you when you remove the front lower panel. **WARNING** All the water from the tub will come flooding out. I like to use a shop-vac with the nozzel placed at the bottom of the cap as I unscrew it SLOWLY!!!
The coin-cathcher (lint filter) is part of the cover and you will find it loaded with years of ****.

The washing maching overflowed. We were just washing a medium load of white clothes. Lucking we were home and cuaght the problem quickly and switch the machine to drain and spin and it went down quickly. I...

Hi, read about your problem. Be sure that clothes are put in washer before the fill. Some people have gone the other way around, and it messes up the water fill switch. Its just a thot . Its a possibility that the water pressure switch is going bad. Before that, empty the tub of all water. Let it sit overnite. Next day, lift lid see if there is any water in bottom. If there is, water valve is leaking. It too would probably need replacing. Until you know which of these or both, is causing the problem, I would not let it run while you are gone. Part numbers;
wh12x10321 pressure switch $19.41
wh13x10024 water valve $25.99.
Hope this helps and thanks.

Hi could anyone help me please..My Hotpoint WMA52 keeps flooding

It is not draining properly, or overfilling due faulty pressure switch.
Try cleaning the filter first.
Remove lower rear cover of washer.
Remove large black hose onto bottom of drum.
Remove and clean filter inside hose.
Remove hose onto pump, and check for obstruction here and in the pump.
Hope this helps.

My kenmore front load tumble action washer will not not spin and drain water, it also appers to be water at the bottom of the machine

If the brain senses water in the floor then the machine will shut down. You have to remove the water, and find the leak. The moister sensor keeps your home from flooding should the tub get a terrible leak from a ruptured hose etc. You mission should you decide to accept it Mr phelps is to locate said leak and eliminate it before you have nasty clothes up the kazoo. This message will self destruct in five seconds Good luck Jim. LOL

Water sometimes does not shut off. flooded twice. happens intermittently.

If when the machine is flooding if you turn off power to the machine and it continues to fill: replace water inlet valve. If flooding water stops filling when power is interupted: clean out the end of the water level switch tube where it connects to the outer wash tub.
