FILL WATER BUT NEVER STOPS - GE WBSE3120B Top Load Washer

The cold water solenoid valve went out. Be sure the cold water valve is turned wide open.

check your water inlet valve. Check it for continuity with a multi meter it should show Ohms or a closed circuit. To test it when water is overflowing unplug the unit and see if it still overflows or continues to fill. no fill If it stops when unplugged. Then it is not a water inlet problem but an electrical signal problem going to ur water inlet valve. Possibly from the panel or board.

Not totally up with that Amana but just check you have not inadvertantly set it up to fill at a certain level, low, meduim, high etc.

check the cold fill hose screen for silt or dirt. also check at water valve for the same and clean. you must have at least 20psi of water pressure for the water to come in. also on most washers cold water is used for rinsing.

if this is a commercial. thats as much water it gets. most of them are energy star

Hello. your fill valve is faulty and needs to be replaced.

here is how the fill valve is supposed to work:
The fill valve--which is about the size of a coffee cup--is sometimes also called a "water inlet valve." It controls the entry of hot and cold water into the machine. The valve has three major components:

• A hot-water solenoid
  
  
• A cold-water solenoid
  
  
• A mixing valve body
  
  

The inlet valve has three hoses connected to it, for :

• The hot water from the house
  
  
• The cold water from the house
  
  
• The water directed into the washing machine's inner tub (either hot or cold, or both) to fill it with water
  
  

When electricity flows to one or both solenoids, water flows through the valve into the washing machine's inner tub. When the electricity stops, the water also stops.

Relays on the ECU are failed. You must replace the ECU to solve.


Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

check the setting of the water temp for the rinse cycle. If one of your water supply valves is closed (HOT/COLD) the tub cannot fill with the proper water temp selected. The hum noise you are reporting is associated with the fill solenoid valve located in back of the machine.
Also, I have found the problem to be the screen located in the fill valve clogged with rust and water deposites. Disconnect both water lines and verify the water supply is not restricted.
Hope this helps..
If not, a more thural description of the problem may reveal more clues to assist in troubleshooting.
Thanks and good luck...

When the washer initially fills for the wash, is it only hot water entering the drum? Try switching the water temperature between hot and cold as it fills. If any of them show little or no water getting through, it sounds too easy but check to make sure water supply taps are on, and that the cold/hot fill hoses aren't reversed. Remove the fill hoses and check any of the screen filters for blockage (in the hoses and in the inlet water valve). When the machine stops and waits to fill but all you hear is a hum, it sounds like there is power going to the valve but water is not able to get through it.
Good luck!

You may have a faulty door switch.
