How the water level control knows when it istime to shut the water off is, a air tight hose runs from the outer washer tank to the waterlevel control. As the water fills the outer tank air is pushed up the hose,depending on which setting you have made ( small- medium - large ) is takes acertain amount of this pressure to make the WLC cycle over and shut off the waterand send this power to the timer. If this hose develops a leak or a pin holethe washer can over fill as the WLC may not be able to shut the water off. Thewater level control can also break down and allow the washer to over fill aswell.

My kemore 80 series washer will not fill up

Check to see if there's good water volume coming through the hoses attached to the washing machine. If there is, check to see if the screens inside the water-inlet valve are clean. (The water-inlet valve is the device on the washing machine that the fill hoses are attached to.) If they're clean, you probably have a defective water-inlet valve. If so, you should completely replace the valve.
------------------------
The water-level switch regulates your washer's fill volume. This switch is usually a diaphragm device with a small, clear tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. As the water level in the tub increases, the pressure on the air in the tube increases. When the pressure reaches a certain level, it activates the switch, shuts off the water, and signals the timer to begin the agitate cycle. If the switch is defective, it may prematurely signal the water to shut off. If so, you probably need to replace the water-level switch.

FP Hot water used when cold selected

YOU NEED TO CHECK THE WATER TEMPERATURE AFTER THE TUB IS FILLED WITH WATER WHEN COLD IS SELECTED. NEW MACHINES WILL USE BOTH THE HOT AND COLD WATER VALVES TO FILL THE MACHINE. THEY DO NOT WANT YOU WASHING WITH STRICTLY COLD WATER AS THE DETERGENT WILL NOT PROPERLY DISOLVE. COLD WASH TEMP SHOULD AVERAGE 65-70 DEGREES.

A couple of tips from readers (Thankx!! ):
~ If you have a loose hose on the water level control or tank end, use a plastic wire tie to help hold the hose tighter and make a tight fit.
~ The water level tube (tube that runs from the square box), access panel on the outer drum where the bleach tube also ends) from the pressure sensor switch (front panel) can become clogged. Or the two holes from the outer tub into this square box panel on the outside of the outer tub can become clogged. Either clog, I am told by my help repair guy can cause the sensor to think that there is still too much water in the tub and so will not allow motor to activate spin.
~ If the water level control contact is bad, it may also stop the filling ok, but not tell the washer to start agitating.

HOTPOINT WD62 FILLS WITH WATER WHEN NOT BEING USED

Hi,

All washing machines have a solenoid valve for turning on and shutting off the water coming in, one for the hot water and one for cold. It sounds like one of them has a slow leak.

Try shutting off the cold water supply to the machine for a day and see if the tub fills with water. Next try shutting off the hot water supply and leaving the cold supply on. This will tell you which valve is leaking.

This solenoid valve is something you can buy from an appliance parts company. In some cases, someone handy may even be able to disassemble it and replace a washer that is leaking.

Until it is repaired, you can get by with shutting off the water supply when you are not using the machine or shutting off the supply that is leaking. For example, if it's the hot water supply valve that is leaking, just shut off the hot and do only cold water washing.

When temp is set on hot water--hot water shuts off & cold water comes out

In the machine, you have a solenoid that the water hoses come into. That piece is controlled by a timer. The hot water during the cycle, does it shut off completely during fill or intermittent?

Hello.

It is a good possibility that the solenoid for the cold water has gone bad. Since the Cold and the hot are in the same bracket assembly, you will need to change both at once. A Sears parts department is a good source for a replacement. They will need your machine make, model and perhaps serial number to locate the appropriate replacement shutoff valve. It is always a good idea to take the old part with you since the person at the parts research desk may know less about what yu need than you do. Help them out with the old part as an example if you can. This usually helps to prevent return trips for the same repair part because the new one just won't fit where the original was.

I do not know your level of expertise, so just in case you are not versed in such things, the shutoff valve assembly is the part that the hot and cold hoses attach to on the washing machine.

Before removing, be sure to turn off the water valve feeding the hose. If might even be advisable to turn the machine on to bleed off the pressure in a fill cycle or you will make a mess when you unscrew the hoses.

ALSO: be extremely careful not to let the electrical circuits come onto contact with the water at all!

Safety first! It is hard to enjoy the repair of your washer if you should accidentally electrocute yourself in the process! BE CAREFUL!

I hope this helps.

Jeff, your water inlet valve has failed and should be replaced. Since you already have the machine apart, you can see it mounted to the rear panel on the right hand side.

The part number is 285805 and can be purchased at your local appliance parts retailer for around $25.00, or can be purchased online here.
