Thread: washing machine filing with water

    washing machine filing with water

    Model Number: w10235936A
    Brand: Whirlpool
    Age: 1-5 years

    We were going on vacation and shut the water valves to the washing machine when we returned, I opened the doe and water poured out. What a mess. Wasn't sure what was wrong. I have done several loads since then and left the machine unused for 3 days now this morning the drum was filled about a 1/3 of the way. Is it the water valve that needs to be replaced?

    W10235936A is not a valid model number. The model number tag is located around the opening of the washer and you will need to have the door of the washer open to see the tag. It sounds like your water valve is most likely bad and leaking water when the machine is not running. If you unplug the washer and the water continues to fill up the tub then you will need to replace the water inlet valve.

    Ryan, I unplugged the washing machine and no water filled the tub. What could be wrong if it's not the inlet valve

    Were you able to locate the model number from the tag on your washer for me?

    Ryan the model number is WFW8300SW05. I left it unplugged and there was no water. Then plugged it in and there was water filling the tub again

    The next thing you would like to check it to do a voltage test at the wires that connect to the water inlet valve to see if power is being sent to the water inlet valve when the washer is not calling for water.
