Water Overfills

I suppose so. The perished bit was right where the spigot that it attaches to ends.

I suppose the years of vibration may have just worn through it, although you wouldn't have expected that.

Excellent, and thanks for the update. How did it perish like that I wonder? Could it have been rubbing on something?

Well, Andy, many many thanks. I have FIXED the machine!

I worked out what the pressure sensor unit was, and unscrewed it and turned it over to disconnect the hose, as per your advice.

However, I didn't need to blow down the pipe, as the answer was staring me in the face. The top of the hose had perished, and was therefore not containing the pressure in the system.

So I unclipped it, cut the perished end section off and reconnected it and Bingo! I now have a working washing machine again.

I have a couple of pics to put up, if I can work out how to do so. It seems I can't just attach them to a post without them being online.

Anyway, a thousand thank you's, o Great One!

Edit: Managed to upload pic. Persihed hose sectioned is circled in red.

It didn't.

The overfill led to the seal leaking; that's why the seal was replaced. But it's still overfilling.

Believe it or not, I *STILL* haven't got round to addressing this issue; I've been making do with doing my washing in my friend's flat.

I hope to have a crack at it this week coming!

If overfilling started after replacing the door seal, I have to wonder if you've disturbed any wiring attached to the rear of the front panel or somewhere?

When water we overfill with water to a washing machine than it does not round in proper manner. Than there are chances of damage

I wouldn't know, I'm in uncharted terrotory. But the timing of the incidents matches up.

I still haven't got round to trying to fix it yet. I will update once I do.

BTW it's hard to imagine how overloading the machine would to cause it to overfill.

Many thanks Andy. I'll give this lot a go and see where I get.

Such a pain in the arse, because I made an exquisite job of replacing the door seal!

With the machine disconnected from the mains, take the small rubber tube off the pressure switch under the lid and gently blow down it. If it's got resistance there may be a partial blockage of gunge in the pressure chamber bottle at the other end which would cause levels to be too high and/or overfilling. If not, it could be a faulty pressure switch (less likely) or even a small air leak in the pressure tubing hose.

Ah, yes, I've looked at that, but there's nothing concrete. I've isolated it to the pressure system, but how do I actually fix it? Is it usually one aspect of the pressure system, or are there several faults it could be?

UPDATE:

The machine is definitely overfilling with water. We put it on and left it this time and it filled up until water started coming out of the detergent drawer.

Can anyone help?
