SOURCE: Kenmore 70 Series Top Loan - Fill Cycle won't stop when full

Does the water stop when you push the timer in or are you having to shut the spigots off?? If it stops when the timer is pushed in then you have a problem with the pressure switch. There are quite a few tricks to axcessing your machine's components but if you are handy ill attemt to help.

SOURCE: washer won't fill

On the drain valve there must be some dirt that does not let the valve close or the valve must be defective and needs to be replaced. By the way you did not mention the make of the washer.

SOURCE: 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.

SOURCE: Washer filling up with too much water

Hi
This is a fault with the water pressure sensor - it doesen't sense any.
8 times out of 10 the sensor is fine - but the pipe that connects it to an air chamber has a hole or is disconnected.

Turn it off (water and electric) and unplug. Remove the top, and check small hoses that go down the side of the machine. Replace any damaged hoses (take original to spares shop)

Replace and reconnect.

If you cannot see anything wrong - take the hose off anyway that connects to a sensor on the end of it. Take it off the lower end only- check it over fully, and blow down it. You should hear a click from the sensor. A test meter would help to see if it is functioning.

Replace sensor if faulty.

If it still produces the same fault - you may have a control board fault.

Please post back here if you cannot solve it for further test procedures.

Thanks for using Fixya.

SOURCE: Water coming from soap dispenser

We had water pour out of the dispenser of our Kenmore HE2 washer. hot water helped us for one load then i realize that a trapped rag was the problem We were actually able to pull the face cloth out of the intake tube without taking everything apart!
opened the washer door and feel around inside the rubber seals to find where the intake tube connects to the drum (upper-left side). felt a small bit of cloth sticking out of the tube and were able to slowly work it out by pulling back and forth. and pulled it completely out thats all it was try this fi

Hello, On Neptune washer serial # 34098916EF, Washer tub fills with about 2 inches of water within hours after doing a wash. When I spin the tub by hand, I hear water sloshing inside. Machine drains fine....

You have a bad water fill valve. Until you get it fixed shut water valves off at the wall so that you don't have a flood if the fill valve on the machine fails completely. Let me know if there is anything else I can Help you with.

First became aware there was a problem when machine overfilled resulting inj flooding,cold water fill would stop when i turned on a tap ,suspected water pessure switch.new water pressure switch fitted...

If it works O.K. in a different wash cycle, then the timer could well be the issue.
Using that last cycle you described, will it perform a complete normal cycle ???

I have a hot point aquarius wf321 and it wont come out of the last spin cycle it just keeps filling up with water and keeps going been doing this for the last 8 hours

it may be sucked out by siphoning through your sewer pipe .Probably a siphon problem . Check your drain hose to make sure hose is not stuffed too far down drain and air can get between the hose and the drain pipe . If you have tapped the hose to the drain to keep water from coming out the drain pipe , go to home depot or an appliance parts house , and get a siphon break . When a washer fills , but water level doesn't rise in the machine , it must be going down the drain

Remove the water level tube from the tub and clean out the gunk.
Reconnect it to the water level switch.
Set the machine to spin and run it.

Water won't shut off

Experienced a similar matter w/ ours that resulted in $3000 worth of floor damage in our house. The solution was an $85 service call for a tech to come out and reconnect a tube that detects when the machine has filled to the proper hight. Without this mechanism in place the washer thought it needed to continue filling (in our case it fille for 2 hours while we were gone). Sorry, never learned the proper name of this water pressure sensor.

Cant drain and cant open the door

You can check the drain or the filter. You will have to pull it out of the space it is now to access it. Items will get stuck in the drain clogging it.

6 months old. Now no water will fill drum! Works as normal but no water!

Hurlewan Your washer is still under manufacturer's warranty which is one full year. If it has Kenmore's name on it you do not need proof of purchase. The only thing you need is your mother-in-law's home phone number at time of purchase because Sears keeps all their records based on phone numbers. Good luck, Gendos post back....
