Hoover wmh 168d leaking water when filling

SOURCE: hoover washing machine top load, model 550m.5.5kg

water leak from cold hose nothing to do with other problem. tighten hose connection and fit a new hose washer overfilling probably because air chamber blocked. remove lid. you will see a pressurestat somewhere at the top - usually round with anything from 3 to 7 wires and a small tube underneath. follow hose down and it connects to the air chamber. make sure this is free of gung and check hose for splits and has no blockage. to check the pressure stat itself, attach your own hose to the stat and while machine in fill mode, blow down this hose and you should hear a click and water intake will stop

SOURCE: Water leak at rear of

The outer plastic casing around the drum was cracked by change left in a pocket. I fixed it with a secondhand casing

SOURCE: water leaks through hot feed into machine and

so the water is leaking in through the hot water inlet valve even with the power off, correct??? if so something has gotten stuck within the valve against the inner diaphragm keeping it from sealing completely..
again, if so then you will need to replace the water inlet valve/mixing valve..
best of luck,

SOURCE: when i screw the filter

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

I suspect there is either limescale in the thread of the filter plug OR behind the filter itself and this is stopping the plug from being screwed home. Remove the plug, pull out the filter, clean filter compartment all round, especially at the back AND ensure the plug thread is completely free of limescale ;-0)

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
