Washer does not stop filling up with water

open the door,look on the front of tub i believe your float switch is on the left side,make sure nothing is under it holding the float up,this will stop the water from entering,if that's ok you could have frozen pipes or valve,i've seen a ton of them in my area,or a bad house water shut off or a bad water valve on dish washer part 154513601,remove the bottom panel you'll see the valve on left side,you can crack the fill line with a wrench and see if any water comes out,if the valve is humming most of the time this is from no water getting to the valve,if it's frigid temps. where you live most likely the pipe or the valve is frozen,you can get a hair dryer and heat the valve up to see if that helps but make sure your shutoff works under the sink,also at night leave the doors under the sink open and remove the bottom panel to the dish washer all winter so warm air can get under and around the valve and pipes,if it isn't froze shut off the water at shutoff under the sink,remove the water fill line from the valve syci the line in a bucket or glass and open the shutoff,if water comes out the valve is bad hope this helps.

your water level switch is bad..r the little clear hose going to it has come off

They work on a pressure switch. It has a rubber hose that connects to the bottom of the drum and runs up to the top control panel. When water fills up into the hose the air pressure trips a switch. So either the switch is bad and not making contact when it clicks. Or the hose is leaking air so it won't let it build up enough pressure. I had one that a mouse got up into and chewed a hole in the hose. You can take the back panel off of the top control panel and let the water in and listen to see if the switch clicks when it gets fulll. If it does and doesn't stop filling then it is a switch.
Or it could be the water shutoff switch where the water hoses hook up. If it is that then it will run all the time, more than likely. Is that what it is doing? Does the washer start running and water keeps coming in? Because it wont start running until the pressure switch is enganged. If it starts running and keeps coming in it is that. Good luck hope this helps.

Top load or front? If top loader, the pressure fill switch may be unplugged or broken. Hose leads from the switch to the tub. If the hose is disconnected or has a hole in it, or is plugged the washer will continue to fill with no shutoff.

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.

Dirt in your solenoids may be a problem. But other than that it could be bad solenoids in general. It could also very well be that the unit that senses the water level has a part broken. On the inside there is a tube that connects to the tub. When you add water it increases the pressure in the tube and signals the shutoff. Sometimes the connections on this tube go bad.. or the tube itself gets a hole.

Easy way to tell. Start the unit with the on/off switch. Wait a few seconds then turn it off again. If the water flow doesn't stop you're most likely looking at a solenoid problem. If the water flow stops when you turn the switch off then you're most likely looking at a problem with the water level sensor.

Your water fill (mixer) valve is failed in the open position.

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 there,

i would recommend checking the water level switch or lid switch and also the cable leading to it. that is what sends a signal to the machine control to stop filling with water.

replace the water inlet valve, the valve that the black hat and cold lines connect to
