This sounds like a siphon condition. Remove the drain hose (the thicker black hose from the back of the machine) out of the wall. Now re-insert it back in only 6" going into the drain. When they go in too far, the drain in your house that prevents odors from coming back out of your drain causes a siphon that pulls the water back out when the washer is filling. Make sure to tie the drain hose down with a tie so it does not pop back out when the washer is draining/ spinning.

Thanks very much Lumpy816. Feel such a Geek, a simple solution which I really should have tumbled. You have saved me a lot of wasted time and kept the missus happy as well.
Keep Well!
Kind Regards,
