Why Is My Washing Machine Overfilling?

Water approaching the door seal
Overflow or foam escaping

Safety If Water Keeps Entering
If water continues entering unexpectedly or begins overflowing, stop using the appliance and isolate the water supply if this can be done safely. Arrange professional assessment. Do not dismantle inlet valves or electrical components.

How Overfilling Is Assessed
A technician can observe fill behaviour and assess water-level sensing, inlet valve and control conditions.
The exact cause needs to be diagnosed before any repair is recommended.
