Imagine this picture, you decide to throw laundry into the wash, go to your washing machine, open the door, and there is water in it. Or better yet, the water has already spread across the floor. But after all, all this time you did not turn on the washer, so where does it come from? Let's try to figure out what needs to be done when the switched off washing machine draws water on its own.
How did the water get into the washing machine?
There are two explanations for this violation:
- Water will be drawn from the sewer. If the drain hose of your washing machine is connected to siphonlocated in the shell, then it is completely dependent on its functioning. If a blockage has formed in the siphon, then water can enter the drum of the washing machine through the drain channel. In this case, it will have a cloudy appearance and an unpleasant odor.
- washing machine itself draws water from the plumbing. In this case, the valve responsible for the water inlet is to blame. You can check as follows - turn off the valve, which is responsible for the process of drawing water into the washing machine and make sure that it is absent. If the flow of water has stopped, feel free to change the inlet valve.
What to do if the switched off washing machine draws water on its own?
After the reason for the ingress of water into the washing machine system has become clear, it is necessary to identify ways to eliminate it.
- If the washing machine itself draws water from the sewer, then you should clean the blockage in the drain channel, or properly organize the connection of the washing machine to it. In order to qualitatively resolve this issue, we recommend that you seek the help of professionals.
- In the event that the water in your washing machine turned out to be from the water supply, it is necessary to immediately call a specialist, since the intake valve should be replaced, and it is extremely difficult to do it yourself.
