Water slowly runs in washer when it isn't on

Water keeps coming into our washer. It happened once when we first got it, but now it won't stop coming in. Once we ran the spin & rinse cycle it drained & we didn't have the problem again until now. It slowly fills while the washer is off & will eventually run out the front door if the door is open. How do we make the water stop coming in? It seems to be something with the inlet. What is causing this to happen?

SOURCE: water keeps filling in washer

Sounds like you need a new water valve (some debris inside the valve causing it to not fully close). These are availible from your local appliance parts store or on line from the manufacture. Once you have your replacement, just take the #20 torx screws out of the rear of the top panel slide the whole panel slightly towards the rear and lift it off. On the outside of the washer on the back panel, You should a light blue plastic thing that the 2 matching hoses from your house connect to. Turn your water off and remove these hoses. Just beside them you will find another #20 torx bit screw (some models use a #10 or #15). Remove this screw as well. Now from the inside of the machine, you will see 4 blue wires going into 2 connectors on the valve. Remove these connectors only by pulling on the connectors, not the wires. Lastly you will see a small black hose with a green or silver clamp on it. Squeeze the clamp with a pair of pliers and then slide it down the hose. The hose should now pull free of your old valve.
Please remember to rate this information if it was helpful to you. Best of luck and drop me a note if you have any troubles.

SOURCE: washer will not drain after wash cycle or the spin cycle

check to see if your pump is slightly plugged with a sock or ?

Your top loader should pump out in about a minute and a half when totally full of water.

SOURCE: WHirlpool Waser model LSR8133HQ0 - tries to fill for rinse cycle

hellow my name is joyce and It sounds like you have a issue with your cut off valve that controls the water flow to your machine in between cycles, this is controled by your timer switch you may want to call technichian to repair. sounds like the only problem you have with the timer is on the rinse cycle not the wash cycle, but it defently needs to be fixed. if I can help you find a repair person please let me know.

thanks you and let me know if I can further assist you.

My GE washer is fine up until it has to refill. It won't refil. It just stops. It slowly keeps getting worse. What's the problem(s)

Is the water filing but not to the correct level? If so I would check the pressure switch hose for obstructions and replace is there are no obstructions.

Tub not draining in washer

If it won't drain, something is plugging the drain system. Start from the hose end. Make sure the hose is open at the end. Try lowering the hose to almost floor level. Make sure you have a pail handy. The water from the tub will be higher than the hose end and the blockage might come squirting out. Put the hose back into the sink or drain pipe it was in.
If water comes out of the hose, but the washer still doesn't "drain," turn it on to a point in the cycle where it should be draining (spin cycle). Listen to hear if the pump is running. If it isn't, there might be something caught in the pump, the pump impellers (that push the water through the pump) might be stuck or broken. This will require a service person.
A third thing you can try if you feel really handy, is to figure out how to open the top of the washer. (Do this with the washer unplugged.) This is often a couple of spring clips near the front edge. Push in on these clips with a putty knife or something else thin, while lifting the top. Once you get it open, scoop out the water between the tubs if you want to. Other wise reach in between the tubs and find the drain hole where the water leaves the outer tub. This happened to me once and there was a child's sock in the hole. Pull out the blockage, reassemble the washer, plug it in and see if the pump check works.
Like I said, it's the outer tub, the pump or the drain hose usually. Good luck.

My fridge gets really hot on top and between the fridge and freezer where the door meets

next time send the model number and brand name.usually when this happens is the condenser fan motor isn't working.pull the fridge out,remove the bottom back panel and check the fan to see if it's working,if it is check the condenser coil to see if it's filled with lint and dust,it could just need to be cleaned out but if it's that hot most likely the fan isn't running,if you get this tonight check it now,if the fan isn't running you could blow the compressor,the condenser fan blows and keeps the compressor cool enough so it doesn't overheat by moving the hot air and the heat also esscapes through the condenser coil so if that's clogged with dust the machine will run hotter than normal,if the fan isn't running you can stick any window fan back there and blow it onto the compressor to keep it cool until you fix the condenser fan motor,this way you won't loose any food and if the compressor goes it's new fridge time,to much to repair.hope this helps and good luck with your machine.one more thing,i've found the fans not running and by pushing the blade it runs again,if this happens the fan could run and never have a problem or it could stop an hour later but i would change it out no matter what.if it's a G.E. fridge and the motor isn't running,most likely it will be the computer board,i've found 10 machines doing this and the temp. settings turning on and off or the evap fan motor in the freezer runs slow and then fast and the condenser fan isn't running or running slowly,this is why you have to send the brand name and model number.

Agitator won't spin and water won't drain during spin cycle

Hi
Try these things first.
1) Verify a circuit breaker isn't tripped
2) Advance the timer control dial slowly 360 degrees-
If the washer starts spinning, then we know the motor and drive belt are fine but that there is something wrong with either the timer control dial or the agitator solenoid. Call in a professional for this.
If the washer doesn't budge, then verify that the drive belt(s) is attached and not broken by removing the back panel. If the belt is broken, replace it. If it is loose, then tighten it by loosening up the bolt holding the motor and moving it on its swingarm (much like a car alternator) until there is a 1/2 to 3/4 inch deflection in the belt. Some washers use reversing motors. It's possible the motor works on the spin cycle but not on the wash cycle. If so, call a pro.
3) Visually inspect the lid safety switch- Is it loose or cracked? If so, the washer might work intermittently, stopping at different cycles.
4) Check motor and drive belt- Remove the main access panel (usually in the back). Is the motor spinning, but the drive belt isn't? If so, then you have a drive belt problem. Go here. If the motor isn't spinning, then go here for washer motor troubleshooting.
If none of these tips resolve the problem, then there's probably a more serious problem with either the motor, the transmission or the agitator itself. If this is is the case, call in a pro.
Thanks for using Fixya.

Water Overflow

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.
