Hi, it could be for either reasons mentiond here, to start with turn off the water inlet which is normally the taps that are connected to the two pipes [or it might be one on a newer machine] if that cures it you can either carry on using it which is perfectly safe as long as you turn off the same every time you are not using it or you can get it repaired by an engineer a fair price could be anywhere from about 拢50-拢70 but the part only costs between 拢10-拢20. If turning off the tap or taps did not stop the water filling machine then it is water backfilling from the waste pipe and all you have to do to cure this one is where the waste exits the rear of the machine at some point lift the pipe so that it is slightly higher than where it meets with your plumbing and it will stop the problem.Why does my washing machine keep getting water in it when I'm not using it.?
Hi, there's some good answers here, but thought I would just add some views as well. The water is probably seeping past the inlet valve, which isn't a major prob, as long as you pump it out before you do your wash. If your water pressure is low, water can pass through the valve, you can purchase low pressure solenoid valves, usually people living in flats can have this prob. I worked for Hotpoint and have come across this. You could shut off the valves after use, but these are usually behind the machine, so makes it awkward. if not valves, another source would be your waste pipe to low allowing water to drain back into machine, just raise it up.
sounds as if the water feed in solenoid is not closing correctly, turn the water off at the isolation valve, if that cures it you should fit a new solenoid.good luck.
Possible leaking inlet water valve, try turning the blue and red supply taps off to see if it still happens.
probably the pipe that expels the water is hanging a little low and is draining back into the drum, try raising it a little and see if this works
Maybe it has a build up off fluff. Unsrew the plastic washer pipe that connects to the water pipe. There should be a little disc in there that looks like a sieve. This traps bits of fluff etc but needs emptying from time to time or else the water doesn't drain properly.
The possible cause is the water inlet valve is passing.
Is the water outlet pipe in its own drain?, if it is then the above needs checking, or if the outlet pipe is connected to the drian via a tee connection the it is possible you are getting a back flow from you sink drain.
The best advise i would give you is to call a domestic engineer ( ask if there is a call out fee, most do not charge for call outs)
Good look
This has happen to me, look forward to the answers you get.
