Candy Washing Machine keeps putting in water when on

Hi,

I have a Candy GVS168D3 Washing Machine.

Whenever I start a program, water keeps pouring into the dispenser section and doesn't stop until I take out the plug.

I have run the diagnostic program by turning the wheel two to the left and holding options, then pressing start.

There is no error code and only shows 888.

I have tried cleaning the top of the dispensor draws but still nothing. It comes out of the far left side (where the 2 is) if that makes any difference.

Since it stops when the plug is out, I suspect that this is an issue with the PCB / computer in the washing machine.

Is there anyway to reset this or fix it without getting a Candy engineer out? Particularly, since there is this pandemic.

Thanks

No there’s nothing to reset it’s a fault. Somehow the valve is being energised when it shouldn’t. I’ve heard of earth faults causing strange faults but it could be the PCB. I wouldn’t try replacing one though as they are expensive and you can’t be sure it will fix it. QER Electronics can test them though.
