Hi

My Bosch WFL 2450 has started filling as soon as it's powered on, even if it's on a drain or spin cycle.

Any ideas please?

Thanks,

Craig

The problem
A Bosch WFL 2450 washing machine started taking in water as soon as it was powered on, even when set to drain or spin.

It could be that they have a constant live feed and are switched on by supplying a neutral return to them. If there is a leak to earth it's possible they are energising down to earth. You need a proper 500 v DC insulation test meter to check for insulation faults. There are other possible causes but probably best to get an engineer in.
