Machine drum full of water - Hotpoint Aquarius WMA42 Front Load Washer

2 possibilities here:
Faulty water sensor. The water sensor's job is to sense the weight and how much water has to be spinned out. If you have a full load in the machine and the drum spins like the it had an arguement with the rest of the machine, then the water sensor is the culprit.
Or.
The belt pulling the spinner drum is stretched and could be slipping instead of gripping(pardon the rhym) :)
Replace belt

Thanks for the quick responses.Pulled front cover,ran a load on high level, no leaks .Ran a load on super level and when drum spins when full of water water level rose and poured out of left front side on top of drum. Pulled plastic ring on top of drum and and found piece of seal missing where leak occured .Ordered upper tub seal, should solve problem

The drum might be too full and thus too heavy to spin out all of the water. Many machines have a system like this to stop the drum coming off. Take out some of the load and try again.

The water valve may not have closed completely or may be leaking. You can copy and paste this link in your address bar for more great repair info and feel free to ask any other quesitons:

replace mixer valve

pull your washer out. put near door if poss then put the waste pipe down to floor level to empty the water. if there is to much water in the drum it will not spin try your pump

check water filter first,then pump

Sounds like you have a broken motor coupler, check the tutorial at www.shop.washermd.com dave

you should check your pressure switch hose for a pin hole or better still just replace the hose and it should sort your problem out good luck hamstel

this is 1 of 2 solutions  2 this problem the first thing to check is the vacuum system or it is a split in the pressure switch hose
