Washing machine collects water off : why shut down washing machine collects the water and what to do

Even with careful handling and the observance of all the rules of operation, complex appliances periodically presents its owners surprises in the form of unexpected breakdowns, malfunctions, and strange behavior.Washing machine is no exception.After several years of stable work, and sometimes all of a sudden there are problems, the causes of which can not be established from the first time.

In this article, we will tell you about a rather rare failure - automatic dialing water, which is triggered when the washing machine is turned off.The reasons for this failure and how to solve it, see below.

When you start the wash program from the control unit receives the signal to the filler valve.Under the influence of stress around the valve electromagnetic field is formed, whereby the valve opens and the water collection occurs.When the desired amount of water enters the tank, the valve automatically closes.

Priming valve located under the top cover (if the washing machine with front loading) or side panel (if the instrument vertical loading), therefore, if necessary, to find it easily enough.

Like any other element of a complex mechanism, this piece may break at the most inopportune moment.If the valve is stuck in the closed position, the water can not be set, but if as a result of breakage inlet valve stuck in the open position, the machine is constantly taking on water, even if you turn it off.

Faulty inlet valve - this is not the case when it is imperative to refer to the professional master repairman, donated to handle the problem, and can be on their own.

So, set a broken water valve must be replaced, but for this you first need to remove it.To reach this part, it is necessary to remove the panel, under which it is located (or the upper side, depending on the load type).Finding valve, disconnect all hoses running to him and wires.Then, unscrew the bolts that secure the valve (or unfasten latches) and remove the faulty part.To gently pull the valve should be slightly rotate it.

Instead broken device set in its place a new spare part.Then follow the steps in reverse order.To simplify your task, to get started, take photos of each step, then you will be able to collect all without problems, as it was.

more on this, see the following video tutorials.

• order not to flood the bathroom, and with it and apartment neighbors can be set to "input" into the washing machine additional crane, with which you can shut off the flow of water.Once the machine completes the washing process, close the valve.Thus, even in case of breakage filler valve, the water in the tank will not flow.
• If you doubt that the filling valve is actually defective, you can verify this by checking it with the help of special equipment.Remove the valve and connect the hose feeding water.Make sure the valve is not water tight.Then in turn apply tension to each of the valve sections.From that section, which is under stress, the water must flow.If it does not, it means that the item is defective.
• Another way to check the operation of the solenoid valve - is to use a multimeter (instrument with which conducted electrical diagnostics).Connect the test leads to the instrument metal plates on the valve and turn the unit in the resistance measurement mode.If this rate will be in the range of 2 to 4 ohms, then the valve is serviceable.
