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

Washing Machine Overflowing? - Top 5 reasons and EASY DIY instructions to stop the water overflow Washing Machine back to working order and prevent water damage. For the full article, please visit: www.appliancepartspros.com/b/...
Reason 1: Water pressure: If the washer has inadequate water pressure, the water inlet valve may not be closing completely, causing the washer to overfill. Check the water pressure using the instructions in the video.
Hit that Subscribe button now and make sure the Notifications are ON.
Reason #2: Water Inlet Valve: The water inlet valve controls the hot and cold water coming into the washer tub. If the washer doesn’t stop filling, it could be that this valve is stuck open.
Reason #3: Water Level Switch: The water level switch controls the amount of water going into the washer. If the washer doesn’t stop filling, the contacts that send power to the water inlet valve may have fused together or there may be additional issues. Consult the video for troubleshooting steps.
Reason #4: Water Level Switch Pressure Hose: The water level switch pressure hose uses air pressure to tell the washer when the tub is full. If the hose is damaged or clogged, it may be causing your washer to not stop filling.
Reason #5: Main Control Board: The main control board is responsible for the functions of the washer after you make your selections. If your washer is overfilling, the control panel may have failed and need to be fixed or replaced.

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.

[@joelcallahan542]

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!

[@kbudrow1]

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

[@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

[@frankj1994]

Awesome video! Very helpful

[@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!

[@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!

[@austinl.2703]

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

[@lisapaige4960]

Thank you! Your video was very helpful.

[@cjmerobot1204]

Look at those hose pliers! 😍

[@gavl9449]

very helpful... and well presented.

[@raromero6]

Great video helped a lot !

[@user-rd1co4vy8c]

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!

[@Footballar09]

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

[@godgenda3251]

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 ?

[@ccis8612]

They are super videos

[@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!

[@ronnetteharvey2002]

Where did you get that pliers tool?

[@wheelie63]

bingo ! low water pressure, i did'nt have the valve all the way open......... i did'nt know that would matter.........but it does ! thank you ! wb

[@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?

[@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.

[@samuelcardinal5221]

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...

[@jiwbink]

THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO! SAVED ME UNTOLD FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES,AND TROUBLE!!

[@katelyngoodling5851]

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

[@appliancepartspros]

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

[@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.

[@DanielaPittolo]

I have a Maytag top loader with a clean washer cycle when I use that it doesn't cycle through the water just keeps pouring into the machine why is my clean washer cycle not working? every other cycle works fine, thanks

[@appliancepartspros]

What is the model number of your washer?

[@fiona3428]

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

[@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?

[@tomference4618]

MATAG MVWB850YW1,..just keeps filling until we Cancel. No error codes. How free should the tub be? I just changed the bearings and driveshaft and seal too.

[@AMERICA_F1RST]

Should water be in the air bulb or up into the pressure hose partially ?

[@appliancepartspros]

What is the model number number of your washer?

[@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.

[@lofficer11]

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

[@rb343]

My ge washer that doesn't have a digital display continues to fill with cold water through all cycles even when the washer is shut off.

[@appliancepartspros]

It sounds as if you could be having an issue with your water valve. What is your model number and we can look into this for you.

[@heazy9744]

What is that tool called at 6:20?

[@user-ov4xg2zq9l]

Just look up washer hose pliers

[@ronaldgudane3385]

😊

[@SamieOld]

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

[@moi3338]

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

When I am wishing the water out

[@lucyrobertson8638]

The washer has no water in it. But it is still running and won't shut off.

[@appliancepartspros]

What is your model number?

[@jimstewart7046]

Won't file up.

[@appliancepartspros]

What is the model number of your washer? Have you had any error codes at all? Are you sure there is power coming to the machine?

[@josifsavads4232]

Water can come from the sink
