If
your washer won't stop filling up with water and overflows the tub,
check for one of these problems:
1)
Turn off the electricity to the washer. If the water *stopped* filling
when power was disconnected, the problem would usually be in the
control system of the machine. If the water still continues, then
the plunger in the water valve is either stuck open or slow to close.
Try turning the water faucets off an on a few times. This small
joltmight unstick the water valve. If not, it will need replacing.
2)
There could be a problem with the water level switch. Call in a
repairman.
3)
There is a pressure switch hose that is attached to an air dome.
This switch tells the washer that there is water in the tub and
allows the agitator to start.
- Remove the control panel and you will notice a small hose. See
if it popped off of the air dome. If it did, secure it with a zip
tie.
If
water flow continues, but drains out immediately, then raise the
drain hose above the highest water level line of the tub. Do not
seal the drain hose to the discharge pipe. This could cause a siphoning
action.
P.S already bought a Solenoid thinking that was the problem. At least that won't go bad for a while.
