If you are not squeezing the handle to let the water out, it will shut off.

May be one of the fill valves are not opening when it is calling for either cold or hot water. Have the solenoids checked with an ohm meter

Thought these additional details might help as we are having a similar problem.

When the washer is turned on we get a blank screen, then after a bit we see the display flash. After sometime flashing then we see it go to normal and we can run it. It is as almost as if it need to warm up...

We can get the display to show faster, by playing with the knob. However, the machine still needs time before we can use it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Washing machine stops at the spin cycle - light flashes. Have to drain water out manually. Happened last week and was then able to run an empty rinse cycle. Machine worked normally for another week. Same problem today but have had to drain water manually from the drum after trying an empty 90 wash and rinse cycle (both stopped on the Spin and flashed). Any ideas? Thanks. x

REPLACE TIMER OR POWER CONTROL BOARD

Check your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean. There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.

Rate me pl.....if helped.

what u can check is the outlet hose does it go down a plastic pipe if so pull it up slightly until it stops a simple mistake if its gone down slightly too much what happens is if its low down the pump kicks in as it thinks the pipe is lower then the washer to drain it try it if i isnt this then it will more then likely be a faulty timer which u will have to replace m8 let me know how it goes m8
