The most common thing here is the presure switch ,either not reading correctly or blocked,you would need to pull the unit out and lay on its back.Then remove the bottom cover plate,you need to look for a round plastic unit it will have two or three wires coming from it and a thinnish plastic tube fitted to the front,the unit is flat on bottom,the wires connected to the top and tube comes from the rounded edge.
Pull the tube off and blow into it untill you hear the airflow inside the machine,next blow into the switch where the tube is connected and make sure you hear a click and click again when you stop blowing,put the unit and machine back together and test.If this does not solve the problem then we need to look at the timer or controller board the timer and board usually need to be replaced if they have gone fualty.(not sure wich your machine has you do not mention a model number)if you need further assistance then let me know and we can see what we can do.

Washer fills with water when not in use. Doesn't completely drain and spin cloths, and I get an E10 error code

Hello Lahoma, thank you for your post!
I understand that your Frigidaire washer fills with water, will not drain completely, and is flashing an "E10" error code. The error code stands for your washer fill time is too long. This could be an issue with your water valve, main control, or water pressure. You should check to make sure that your water flow is normal and that your water line is not restricted. This could cause an issue with the way water is distributed within your washer. The water pressure coming into your washer should be at 30 PSI. You can also clear out any false error codes by performing a reset on your washer. In order to reset your washer you need to disconnect power from it for roughly ten minutes. If this does not help resolve your issue I would recommend consulting with a professional technician for a proper diagnosis to be completed. I hope this information is helpful to some degree. -Matt

The dishwasher is not completely filling with water - is there a filter that should be cleaned to allow a complete fill

Yes, you need to turn off the water supply, and disconnect the hose (or copper tubing) where it goes into the dishwasher (the input to the water valve). There is a filter screen right there that can get clogged with debris. Clean that out, and you should be fine.

Dishwasher does not fill

Hi,
Double check that your water supply line is not kinked.
This sounds like a bad fill valve. If you have hard water and most everyone does after a few years the valve will quit working properly and will fail in one of 2 ways a slow or no fill or it will not shut off completely.
I hope this helps if I can help with anything else please let me know.

The washing machinge is not completing the complete cycle

When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:

  • It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.


  • It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.

Estate washer ETW4400SQ0 water runs, but does not fill completely

The water inlet valve sticks open at times because of sediment in the water. Disconnect the water and flush it out and clean the screen filter where it connects to the inlet valve. It's probablly just the cold water side sticking.

Bosch dishwasher fills with water after cycle is completed

Sounds like you need a new water inlet valve. It's not shutting off completely, so water slowly enters the machine even while it isn't running.

Dishwasher does not fill with water when started. Problem began slowly with dishes not rinsing completely. Overfill float appears to work properly. Water fills pipe leading to fill solenoid but does n

I am almost certain that your problem is the fill solenoid.

If it does not work, there will be no water entering your machine.

I would either remove it and test it or just replace it at this point.

Tub overflow

Remove the hose from the water level switch and blow air through it.
The water level switch air hose has a clog in it.
