The relay that shuts off the water, or the mechanism that senses the level of the water, and then shuts off the flow of the water needs to be checked, fixed or replaced. If you're competent to do all that, and have the necessary tools, all the better. If not, them a repairman must be called in....should be fairly cheap to fix.

Water will run in machine even when the machine is turned off

A water valve within the washer must be leaking. A test to see which one, close a water supply, either cold or hot and see which leaks. A band-aid solution could be to only connect hot (or cold) water to the one that doesn't leak, select appropriate water temp, hot-hot or cold cold.

My washing machine is over filling it is draining away but only if you put it on a spin the inlet water is constant and is always filling and wont cut off then it leaks from door seal and tray for washing...

Water inlet is controlled by a level switch and hot/cold water valves,( solenoids). It seems most likely that one of the water valve diaphragms is faulty;turn off hot and then cold taps to determine which one is leaking.A handy person can often strip the valve and replace the diaphragm, or else
a service person may be needed.
At times, the water is measured by weight,(depth) and during spray rinse by the timer, therefore, if you are using a cold rinse, ,most likely the cold valve is faulty.

Nuova Simonelli Premier Maxi V , 2005...when water turned on machine constantly leaking from the pressure relief valve and the hot water valve.

Has the machine been in cold storage? If no then the inlet solenoid could be the culprit. There might be sediment keeping the valve open.

My washer is leaking from the underneath... I observed a cycle and noticed that the only time it does not leak is when it is draining. It has a slightly increased level of leak when it is filling but it...

The bit you're pointing to isn't meant to have any water in it (and to be honest, probably doesn't).

The leak is probably somewhere nearby, with the water then tracking round the outside of the pump before finally dripping off the lowest point.

There are two approaches to finding the leak.

1. Dry the whole pump assembly really thoroughly, then put some cold water into the machine and (with the power disconnected) carefully feel around the pump body to try to identify what bits get damp first.

2. Use the information that the leak subsides when the machine is draining to narrow your search to the pump suction. Have a careful look at the black bellows (at the right hand edge of your photo), examining all the corrugations for splits and tears. Then check the point where the bellows joins the pump body (the round, creamy coloured object with another hose coming out of it in between your arrowed box and the bellows). Use the dry/cold water/feel around trick to help with these examinations.

My machine doesnot fill water,as water start's and fill my drum it start leaking from somewhere, we checked water leaks from water pump. Last year we replace water pump. ya we change drain hose also.that...

The valve to the powder drawer is jammed. When you try to start the machine it trys to open and he water will try to pass through the valve. The water is at a constant pressure when the machine is off, but when you turn it on, it increases the presure and the water leaks. To the back of the maching, look at the blue hose, to the back of the washer, that should be sound, take the top off the machhing, two small screws at the back, follow the black hose from the cold inlet to the valve and I think you will find that is split/perished. I hope this helps, but if not let me know and I'll check o/l to find the fault for you.
