Washer overfills or continues to fill with water even when unplugged.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Mechanically stuck inlet valve, debris in valve seat, high water pressure damaging valve

Safety First: Immediately turn off both hot and cold water supply valves and unplug the washer.

Step-by-step checks:

1. Confirm valve failure: If water continues to enter the tub with the washer unplugged, the inlet valve is stuck open.
2. Remove hoses: Disconnect fill hoses and inspect valve screens for debris. However, a stuck valve must be replaced, not just cleaned.
3. Replace inlet valve: Remove the top or rear panel, disconnect wiring and hoses from the valve, remove mounting screws, and install the new valve assembly.
