Occasionally my Duet washer leaks water into the tub after the wash is completed. It doesn't happen often, but I have not found that it does it after any particular washer settings. Also, sometimes it is only a small amount of water; other times there is a lot of water.

A intake water valve is leaking and will need replacing.

You could have a clog in the housing underneath the dispenser where the water flows through a hose into the tub.
Pull the dispenser drawer completely out.
There is a tab that needs to be depressed to release the drawer and remove it.
Check the opening at the bottom of the housing just inside the dispenser housing opening to see if a small sock or garment is clogging this opening.
Reach down into this opening to see if an item is inside the hose.
This is the normal issue that will cause water to leak out of the dispenser housing.

Wash the dispenser drawer thoroughly with warm water. Make sure that you pull off the siphon covers and wash all siphon holes. This process is described in your owner's manual. Replace the dispenser drawer and try the washer again.

The only thing that can admit water with the power off to the machine is a bad Fill valve. Replace

hello. i dont have to tell you that these intermittent problems are often the most difficult to isolate ...........sooooooooooooo lets look at all of the possible causes for your machine leaking

Your washer can develop several types of leaks. You can track down a leak based on when it occurs:

During fill only
During drain and spin only
All the time
During fill only If the washer leaks only during the fill cycle, check these:

• Air-gap device -The air gap is a small device found on most washers that prevents the wash water from being siphoned into the household water supply. It's located either mid-way along or at the end of the black rubber hose that comes from the water-inlet valve. Often it's made of translucent plastic. If one of the air-gap components deforms or cracks, you may need to replace it.
  
  
• The tube -There's a rubber tube that runs between the water-inlet valve and either the air-gap or the inlet spout. If it cracks or breaks, it can cause a leak.
  
  
• Inlet spout -Most washers have a plastic spout near the top of the main clothes tub that directs the water into the tub. If the spout cracks or breaks free of its mounting, it can cause a leak.
  
  

During drain and spin only A washer that leaks only during the spin cycle often has a leak in the main drain hose. Inspect the entire hose and correct any problem you find. Alternatively, the steel or plastic outer tubs can rust, split, or be punctured. This may be most visible during large loads and high water levels. If this happens, you may have to replace the entire outer tub--but that may not be an economical repair to make. Consult a qualified appliance repair technician for further details.

All the time If the washer leaks all the time, check these:

• Hot and cold water fill hoses - Check the hot and cold water hoses from the household plumbing. If either hose is leaking, tighten it or replace it, as appropriate.
  
  
• Main tub seal - The main tub seal is located between the transmission and the outer tub. It's the primary water seal in the outer tub for the transmission-shaft entry point. If this seal leaks, you can see the leak by opening up the machine's main access panel while the machine is full of water with a small amount of detergent in it. The leak appears at the underside of the outer tub, at or near the center. This seal is difficult to replace. You probably should call a qualified appliance repair technician.
  
  
• Pump - If the pump leaks, you can probably spot the leak when the tub is full of water. The pump has two or more black rubber or plastic hoses attached to it and usually has a drive belt that spins the pump. If the pump is leaking, you need to replace it.
  
  
• Outer tub - Over time, the steel or plastic outer tubs can rust, split, or be punctured. If this happens, you may have to replace the entire outer tub--but that may not be an economical repair to make. Consult a qualified appliance repair technician for further details.
  

one of the electric valves is faulty (hot or cold) if your area has hard water this can happen from stone build up on the valve

I would look at the water inlet valve. Sometimes if one of the solenoids is defective it can let some water leak back into the tub if it isn't closing completely. It's not that the water isn't draining completely, it's that additional water is being allowed in. This is a common reason for water being found in the tub after spinning. The solenoids can be checked for continuity using a multimeter. No continuity would indicate a faulty solenoid. See the photo for reference. Hope this helped and best wishes.

Your Mixing Valve (water valve) is not shutting properly.
Replace it to solve your problem.

hello.
Welcome to Fixya.

• nspect the water supply connections.
• Inspect the drain hose.
• Inspect the water pump.
• Inspect outer tub for cracks or corrosion.
• Inspect the tub seal.
• Inspect the tub bearing.

Good Luck.

if water is constanty dribbling into the machine then there is a leaking water valve on the machine, if not leaking in all the time then exessive water pressure at some time, dont thing it is the control

you have a bad water inlet valve. its not seating properly allowing water to trickle in when not in use. youll need to replae the water valve. in mean time turn water off between uses.
