I have a Haier HDP18PA with the same problem... I tried tilting mine backwards while running...this made a mess BUT the beeping stopped BUT the lights were still flashing. Turned it off and started it again and the lights still were flashing BUT no beeping. Decided to try tilting it forward while running ... made another mess BUT the lights stopped flashing. Turned it off again and restarted it and it is now running fine. Good luck!

Exact same problem. Turned the unit on and the drain pump just kept running even though no water was in the dishwasher. I kept filling it up manually with a bucket and closing it up and it would drain and just keep attempting to drain after the water was all gone. I was hoping by filling it up whatever tells the unit to stop draining would do its job. No sch luck. Eventually it would beep but would not turn off it just kept trying to drain. I suppose it would have burned the motor out it I left it that way. After reading this thread I turned the unit on and tilted it forward 45 degrees and the pump stopped. I turned it on and off and it worked normally again. Thank you.

My Sears Limited Edition washer starts the drain pump as soon as you turn it on and the pump keeps running continuously(I can hear it) which doesn't allow the water to fill the tub?As soon as it start

check the drain hose,if it's pushed down the stand pipe to far it will cause a syphoning affect and drain the water out as fast as it goes in,also have you unplugged the washer to reset the computer board?if not unplug it for 5 to 10 minutes,plug it back in and see if it resets itself,any error codes coming up?let me know how you make out.

Frigidaire washer ftf2140fs2 lights on the right side keep beeping washer wont start

Hello 2cats - First, is the drain pump making a humming noise? If so, the unit could possibly have a restriction in the drain line. Try setting the cycle to spin only and verify if water pumps out. Other possibilities could be a faulty door lock, timer, pump, or control board not communicating correctly. In this case I would contact a professional to move forward accurately to properly diagnose and repair the washer.

Washing Machine keeps filling with water

Teresa

Check the drain hose. if the end of the hose is too low it will siphon water continously while the washer is trying to fill and will cause the problem you describe.
