LG Washer Dryer F1480RD - incoming water wont be stopped

[Gabriel Cs]

Hi All,

 

I have an lg washer dryer f1480rd and the washing drum will be filled up with water if I dont cut the water supply. The machine begins to fill up itself with water as usually, but wont stop entering that. The water level tube from the drum is not dirty and can be blown through. I hope its not the "ECU", the main electronic panel of the machine which has gone wring. Does anybody have any ideas? 

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Hello. This fault is covered in my washing machine faults articles. It can be caused by various faults but a blocked pressure system is the most common. Full details here - Washing Machine Overfilling

A good friend dismantled some things in the machine, the pipe and chamber were full of lime, even the water pressure sensor. The machine is working, but the water supply wont cut by itself. We will take a look on the main panel if anything is burnt.

If the pressure chamber is blocked with gunge and limescale it can stop the air pressure rising up the small tube and operating the pressure switch causing overfilling. Full details included in this page - Faults on pressure system
