Likely Causes
How to Fix It
1
Unplug the washer immediately to stop water flow
2
Check if the washer continues to fill with water while unplugged - if yes, the water inlet valve is stuck open and needs replacement
3
If the washer is not actually overfilled, the water level sensor may be faulty and needs replacement
4
Check the drain hose positioning (should be at the appropriate height)
5
Inspect the water inlet valve for signs of damage or leaks
6
Clean the drain pump filter to ensure proper drainage
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
