Why does my water won't stop filling?
A few possible causes:
Blocked Water Level Switch: Most top-loading washing machines utilize a pressure switch to tell the water when to shut off during a wash or rinse cycle. If the tube becomes blocked with minerals from hard water or if the switch itself goes bad, the water will never shut off.
Bad Water Valve: Valves at the points where the hot and cold water hoses enter your washing machine control the flow of water into the machine. If these valves become stuck open, or if their seals become lost or compromised, the water will continue to flow into the machine.
Faulty Controls: The controls might fail to acknowledge the input from the pressure switch and never advance from one cycle to another. In some cases, this is a voltage problem, while in other cases the controls themselves are bad and would need to be replaced.
If you've already cleaned and cut the ends of the tube going to the level sensor and the issue persists, it might be best to consult with a professional appliance repair service. They can help diagnose and fix the problem accurately. Please remember to turn off the water supply and unplug the machine before attempting any repairs.

Thats a simple one to replace. Unplug unit. Take a putty knife and release clips that secure console to top. They are located on each front corner of console. Raise lid. Unplug harness from switch.

My washer is top lip, now the washer stop spinning. How to fix it please?
'top lip'? you mean a top load?
If it washes okay and the motor runs, it is likely the capacitor on the motor that does spin has failed,
Or the motor control board has failed.
Or the timer controller / main board has failed.

Add garment light won't go off when Samsung front loader locks. Stops cycle from beginning - Samsung front loader model #WF42H5000AW/A2
Check the Door Latch and Alignment:
Ensure that the door is completely shut and latched. Sometimes, clothing or debris can get caught between the door and the latch, preventing proper closure. Make sure there's nothing obstructing the door.
Inspect the door seal for any damages. A damaged seal might not allow the door to close securely.
Child Lock Feature:
Samsung washers come with a child lock safety feature. If the child lock is engaged, it prevents accidental start of the wash cycle.
Check if the child lock is activated. If so, disable it and try running the wash cycle again.
Motor Control Unit (MCU) Inspection:
Visually inspect the Motor Control Unit (MCU) board for any burned spots. The MCU is located on the left side behind the lower access panel.
If you find burnt spots on the MCU, it might be the cause of the issue. You can order a replacement MCU if needed.
Other Troubleshooting Steps:
Reset the washing machine by unplugging it and then plugging it back in after a few minutes.
If the problem persists, consult a technician to inspect the lock mechanism or control board.
Whirlpool duet steam washer displaying F 20 error code during wash cycle. Water seems to be flowing just fine. I've unplugged it several times to clear the code but it's not working.
The F20 error code on a Whirlpool Duet Steam Washer typically indicates a water inlet problem. It means the washer is not getting enough water to continue the wash cycle. This can be due to several reasons, even if it seems like water is flowing fine at first glance. Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
- Check Water Supply Hoses:
- Ensure both the hot and cold water faucets are fully open.
- Inspect the water inlet hoses for kinks, bends, or twists that could restrict water flow. Straighten out any issues you find.
- Turn off the water supply, disconnect the hoses from the back of the washer, and check that the filter screens inside the water inlet valve are not clogged with debris. Clean them carefully if needed.
- Water Pressure:
- The washer requires a certain amount of water pressure to function correctly. Low household water pressure can lead to insufficient water flow to the washer. Make sure your home's water pressure is within the washer's required range.
- Check for Siphoning:
- Make sure the drain hose is correctly installed. The end of the hose should not be too far down the standpipe, and there should be an air gap to prevent siphoning.
- Inlet Valves:
- If the water hoses and screens are clear, there might be an issue with the water inlet valves themselves. They might not be opening fully due to electrical issues or mechanical failure.
- The inlet valves can be tested with a multimeter for continuity to ensure they are functioning correctly. If they lack continuity, they need to be replaced.
- Flow Meter:
- Some Whirlpool Duet models have a flow meter that measures the amount of water entering the washer. If this component malfunctions, it could mistakenly signal that there's not enough water, even when there is.
- Diagnosing a flow meter requires some technical knowledge and a service manual for your specific model.
- Pressure Switch:
- The washer uses a pressure switch to monitor the water level. If there's an issue with this switch or the hose connected to it, the washer might incorrectly interpret the problem as insufficient water flow.
- Check the pressure switch and the hose for any blockage, disconnection, or damage.
- Reset the Washer:
- Since unplugging the washer hasn't cleared the error, after checking the above, try to reset the control board by unplugging the washer for about 5 minutes, then plugging it back in.
If after trying these steps the F20 error persists, it may be time to consult the manual for more specific troubleshooting steps for your model or contact a professional appliance repair service. Sometimes, the problem could be related to the washer's electronic control board or other components that require professional diagnosis and repair.
