Let's do some trouble shooting to eliminate various possibilities:

Can you find the shut off valves behind the Washing Machine?

Next time, when you are done with a load of wash, and won't be using it for awhile, SHUT OFF both the Hot and the Cold water valves (See the long black hoses going from the valves , into the machine?

(I suggest taping a small sign on the Washing Machine lid-- So you will remember to open the valves before you do your next load of wash!-- A Washing machine has a hard time washing, with the water valves shut off! :-) )

Did that stop the water in the machine bowl?

If that worked-- Then next time-- just shut off the HOT water valve-- see if it still stops the water in the bottom---
Then try the Cold Water valve-- Manually shutting off one valve each time..)

Now you may have learned WHICH of the Solenoid valve in the machine is leaking...

Do you want to dig into trying to fix our replace the valve?

Let us know-- and we can go deeper into the repair.

LG Turbodrum DD 8.5kg WT-R852 washing machine, will not completely fill with water to water, to initiate the wash cycle, wash process stops there.

THE WASHER IS OBVIOUSLY HAVING A PROBLEM DETECTING THE WATER LEVEL? IT DETECTS AS FULL WHEN ITS NOT AND THEN GOES INTO DRAIN CYCLE? THE FILLS AGAIN? I would suspect the water pressure switch but if it was detecting a full cycle it would sent it into wash cycle? the water inlet valve only allows the amount of water it is told to send in and does not control the amount or drain cycle. Im not sure here but Im thinking maybe the water level switch may be flawed, the one that has low-medium and high? all these can be checked with a multimeter

Samsung WA422PRHDWR not filling with enough water

I find that some of my clothes don't seem to get wet enough to clean them properly. I like to use the pre-wash cycle to wet everything thoroughly then the machine goes through the normal wash cycle and it seems to do a better job. Just an idea.

How to operate the washing machines front load washer brandt bf850

Hi,
  • Open the front door and load the clothing into the washing machine. Check the owner's manual for the maximum load size. Overloading the washing machine may interfere with its ability to spin the clothes and rinse them clean.

  • Fill the detergent receptacle on the front of the washing machine, making sure not to fill it past the indicated line. Always use a liquid detergent that is designed for front-loading washing machines.
  • Add bleach or fabric softener, if needed. Most front-loading washing machines have a section for fabric softener inside the detergent receptacle. Check the instructions on the bleach to find out when it should be added to the washing machine.
  • Close the front door of the washing machine and make sure it locks into place. The machine usually will not turn on unless the door is securely locked.
  • Check the owner's manual to find out how to select the different options and wash cycles. As a general rule, use warm or cold water for most types of colored clothing. Hot water should only be used when washing white cotton items.
  • Start the front-loading washing machine and let it run through the entire wash, rinse and spin cycles before opening the door to unload the clothing.

  • Please rate this solution. Regards.
