Washing Machine Won't Stop Filling with Water - Top 5 Problems & Fixes - Top & Side-Loading Washers

[@kathleenbattaglia7688]

I believe that this is the best explanatory guidelines and easiest I have have ever read. Thank you for your helpful explanations and taken the time to do this.

You're a washing machine wizard !! God love ya !!The Lord guided me your channel. Thank you, thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. You made it easy, a mouse had a snack of the pressure hose. All good in the laundry room after mopping up 45 gallons from the washer continuously running water. The concrete hasn't looked that clean in 20 years!

[@moonmagnolia7]

Hahaha! I felt the same way earlier today. When I noticed my washer overflowing onto the floor, I immediately turned it off and started “mopping” it up with the dirty towels that were on the floor waiting their turn, haha. When I saw all the yucky stuff I was wiping up with the towels, after I got over being grossed out, I had to smile because now I had a reasonably clean floor, hahaha. I also thanked God that I was standing right there when it started overflowing! Otherwise it could have created a huge mess and probably caused a lot of water damage, or worse, mold. Now I just need to figure out which of the 5 potential failure points it is. But learning new stuff is good for our brains so it’s all good. My glass is full, and so is my washer right now, hahaha.

[@kbudrow1]

Solved my problem. It was the cold water side of the intake valve. Could not have solved this without this video. Thank you.

[@markc.8566]

JUST FIXED MY WASHER!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!! The hose was popped off the pressure switch, so when I went to cheek it, i put it back on!

[@moonmagnolia7]

That’s awesome! I hope that’s my washer’s problem too. 😊

[@ChrisOConnor-n7o]

Great Video ... we are new construction ... sediment is high and we had a low pressure situation due to the inlet screen where the hose attaches being very clogged ... we cleared it .... perfect operation. Thank you!

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@moonmagnolia7]

Thanks for the info! My home is older, but sometimes there’s a break in the community water pipes that allows sediment to get in and send dirty water beyond those break. I’m glad it was a reasonably inexpensive fix.

[@malachi-]

Thanks, good stuff, this is only the second time this ever happened in around 6 years. Got in the shower and she washed a load while I was in there, it didn't even click until I seen your #1 Problem... lesson for the day, unless you have great water pressure, don't take a shower and wash clothes at the same time. Was an older washer, at least 15 yrs old, but again, it's been years since the last time it happened.

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad we were able to assist you!

[@moonmagnolia7]

Wow! Thank you SO much for sharing this info! I would not have imagined that could happen! My washer is ~23 years old. Plus I’m at the end of the community water lines so if there’s an issue with water pressure upstream, I’ll definitely get the brunt of it. Now I know if the washer’s running, stay out of the shower, stay awake, and stay home. I knew to never leave the house or go to sleep if the dryer’s running due to potential fire hazards. Geez. Who knew convenient appliances could be so dangerous?

[@user-jh9rk7xu7i]

Thank you! It was just a disconnected hose to the water pressure switch! Runs great now again!

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@erienwhite]

Great video. Showed me exactly where the water level sensor was. Found that the hose has come off at the sensor. Nice easy fix with your help. Thanks

[@cjmerobot1204]

Look at those hose pliers! 😍

[@moonmagnolia7]

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing! Time for a store run, hahaha.

I love these videos. I have a really old Kenmore. I think it’s about 30 years old. I have been encouraged to buy a new washing machine. About three years ago the pump went out a replaced the pump and it continues to work. The current problem was, the inlet valve. I bought a new inlet valve and put the machine back together. I took it for A spin and it wouldn’t stop filling. None of the other events like agitation started either. I was ready to call it quits and buy a new machine. It was a struggle to take the machine apart, but I did notice that what I’ve discovered to be. The pressure hose was not attached to anything. I watch this video and it says oh it’s a pressure hose and it needs to be attached to the back of the tub so now I will, take the machine apart again and attach it. Hopefully it works. This has been a challenge, but I’ve grown attached to this washing machine. 😁

[@austinl.2703]

Ok, Excellent info, I can check everything. I'm hoping it's the low water pressure situation.

[@daCubanaqt]

Thank you for this video! I have feeling my water level selector is bad, so I will start there first, but thanks for the other scenarios to check!

[@Footballar09]

Water inlet valve is busted, it drained even when the washer was unplugged. Thank you so much!

[@moonmagnolia7]

😳Oh my! That’s scary! I hope your shut off valve was easily accessible.

[@WendyWhite-r7t]

Thanks a bunch for this video!!!! My mom was doing laundry and all i heard was a bunch of "eeks, omg's and what's going on with this thing" from her before I discovered the washer wasn't responding to anything she was doing it and had she not shut the water off on the valves it would've overflowed. (Ik she said she hit pause at some point but that didn't work and it kept filling but the weird thing was that the rest of the lights went out that are normally on like the load size and the water temperature light selection wasn't lit up - this was prior to her shutting off the valves) Im going to watch this video again and see if I can figure out what the dealio is. Thanks again! 😀 7:21

Thanks. Mime was problem #4. My pressure hose got disconnected

[@appliancepartspros]

You are very welcome. Glad you were able to fix your washer!

[@03Catie_IRiseUp]

I have a top loader whirlpool. The cold water doesn't turn off. I have to stand by to manually do it, then shut off the valve at the wall. The hot works fine and shuts off correctly. I basically sit by the washer and wait for it to make a click noise once it's at the correct water level so I know when to shut it off. I'm guessing that limits the problem possibilities a bit. I'll have to open it and see if I can figure it out. Thanks for the helpful video. (And thanks to anyone that offers any helpful tips)

[@appliancepartspros]

If the unit will not stop filling until you turn the water off to the unit then you will need to replace the water valve. If it stops coming in when you turn the appliance off then you will need to replace the pressure switch.

Speed queen top loader makes a loud bang .I replaced the agitation pulley,belt,helix,all genuine parts.the problem of failure to spin continues.should it to do with the transmission system ?

1:18 well how would I know? would I keep hearing water? You didnt explain how I would know it was still open.

[@dannylinc6247]

A reading of 0.00 during a meter test shows continuity with no resistance. A reading of 0.L means over limit, infinite resistance, that means no continuity or not connected. A numbered reading greater than zero is a measure of resistance including the test leads, their connection to the right place for the test, and the resistance of the part that has continuity In this example. Have fun. Don't call for a special service call just yet if visual inspection shows disconnect or damaged pressure line. or a blockage exists. Clear it by blowing thru it? Could be.

[@moonmagnolia7]

Thank you for the explanation of what the multimeter readings mean in continuity mode. I’m still learning how to use one. 😃

[@dannylinc6247]

@@moonmagnolia7 they take some thought and practice, and some meters are difficult to read settings for. I didn't get good instructions with some of mine. My fluke meter came with its own book. Shows you what you get for your money. I had a repair once, I needed. Their tech sent me a brand new one, with new leads. A $500 tool. Here you go! Wow.

[@jjryansea]

Be sure to check the silicone hose attached to the rear middle of the control board on the Maytag Bravo x. If it comes undone, the water will continue to fill and not switch to wash.

[@lofficer11]

I just bought a new whirlpool washing machine (Lowes). It fills up with water (in sensing mode), then stops and you can hear dripping, then starts filling back up again. It gets stuck doing this for hours (of course I turn it off before hours). This is the 2nd machine as the first was stuck in sensing mode as well. Is this normal? any ideas?

[@tomference4618]

..what about if you have an circuit board chip that the air hose attaches to?

[@appliancepartspros]

What is your model number? What is going on with your washer?

All of this was excellent. However, the problem with the machine on my 2nd floor that created a catastrophe was not mentioned. The Water Level Control wasn't clicked in on the chosen level .. it was just "off" to the right. The machine didn't know to stop .. and it didn't. THOUSANDS of dollars in damage to the apartment below. Unfortunate - and something to be aware of and watch out for when in a hurry. BE SURE IT CLICKS IN TO YOUR CHOICE OF WATER LEVEL... nearby the choice is a disaster waiting to happen. Figured it out and it's filling and draining and spinning a wash this very evening. Trusty Kenmore and a user error.

[@appliancepartspros]

Thanks for the tip! Glad you were able to get the issue fixed!

[@SixteenTonesStudio]

be careful, I've had flooding several times because even when changing between settings, it doesn't make good contact. But I have another problem - after it fills and stops, when it moves to the next cycle it will try to fill again, so sometimes it just completely ignores the level. The only way to stop it is to manually advance the program knob until it gets to a spin or drain cycle

[@moonmagnolia7]

Oh my gosh! How awful! I’m glad I have an old, very basic machine.

[@scottwilliams4444]

So if you blow in and it clicks then suck in and it clicks it's good right.

[@appliancepartspros]

You would still have to use a multimeter to test the pressure switch to see if it is bad.

My Toshiba washing machine doesn't follow due process, while filling water, it blinks the washing light and that affects how it washed thereafter

My tub sometimes fill up while off. Problem water is shut off when I don't use it...First time it did that, the city main water was off, nobody could get any water at all but my machine filled up completely so I really don't understand how it does that...

Sometimes you just need to unplug the water supply, put it back in, and then turn the water on before the machine.

[@suzieellis7452]

Rinse cycle keeps filling with water and never gets to the spin.

[@appliancepartspros]

You will need to check the pressure hose for clogs and make sure it's installed properly. If that is good and you can shut the water off by turning off the machine, then you will need to replace the pressure switch.
