Water fills machine but won't shutoff

Good morning

I looked this up to make sure I was thinking the right way. The FE means there is too much water in the machine... lol bet you already knew that. Since water is actually coming out of the machine it looks like a bad fill valve. The plastic piece your hot and cold water lines hook into is not shutting off all the way.

I hope this helps

Servicing Water Inlet ValvesIf the washer won't fill or fills very slowly, if it overfills, or if the water is the wrong temperature, the water inlet valves could be faulty. These components are easy to locate and very easy to replace, at little cost. When you suspect an inlet valve is faulty, first check to make sure the water faucets are fully turned on and properly connected to the hot and cold inlets of the valves. Then check the screens in the valves; if they're clogged, clean or replace them. If water doesn't enter the tub, set the temperature control to the HOT setting. If there is no water, set the control to the WARM setting. If all that comes out is cold water, the hot-water inlet valve is faulty. Reverse the procedure to test the cold-water valve, setting the control first on COLD and then on WARM. If the tub overfills, unplug the washer. If water still flows into the tub, the valve is stuck open. In any of these cases, the valves should probably be replaced.

It sounds like you have a leaking solenoid valve, located where the hoses connect to the machine. Find out which one it is by shutting of the water to one side (either the hot or cold) and wait. If the washer fills, the hose that is open is the culprit. Chances are that the leaking solenoid is the one that you use most often (say, if you always wash with cold water). Here's what you need to do after that:
1. Drain down the tub. Easiest way: run a short cycle.
2. Make sure that both water valves (at the wall) are closed. Unplug the washer.
3. Disconnect the hoses from the machine (Caution:Water!). Catch the water in a bucket or pot.
4. Gain access to the solenoid valve that you determined to be leaking by. This is usually done by removing the back panel.
5. Make a sketch of the solenoid, showing which wire goes where, what color it is, etc. This helps in the re-assembly.
6. Remove the solenoid. Take it, along with your make and model number to your local appliance parts supply store.
7. Install your new solenoid.

there are two water valves above the soap drawer, that are sping loaded to stay shut when power is off. if the water pressure to the machine has increased, sat due to an increase in main pressure from the water board fixing a leek further up the supply, then this could force open the valves. try turning the stop valves at the inlet pipe end, away from the machine, down a quarter turn and see if this stops it.

Check and see if the hose connected to the fill valve and the tub is stoped up you could try blowing in it from the fill valve side to the tub . Hope this helps.

This is caused by faulty inlet valve solenoids. They can be tested for continuity using a multimeter. A lack of continuity indicates a faulty solenoid. I have a feeling that one or both are defective and are allowing water to fill the tub. I am attaching a photo for reference. If either solenoid is faulty, the water inlet valve assembly will need to be replaced, Sure hope this helped and best wishes.

does the water run when you unplug the machine? if so then you have a bad fill valve,

remove top replace fill valve left rear be sure not to remove the screens inside valve except to clean but be sure to reinstall or trash may get into valve and not allow proper shutoff

HI thanks for your question. i would replace the water valve, its not shutting off completly. replace the valve, thats where the hot & cold water go .

Are you sure that water fills the tub ? Close the hot water tap and check if cold water fills in, then close the cold water tap and open the hot water one and check whether hot water fills in. Let me knw with your test results.
