Why do my washing machine keep filling up with water, but it wont wash, and the water just goes out?

I have a washing machine. When i left for work today, i put in a load of clothes to wash. When i came home the washer was still running water into it as if it was getting ready to wash a load of clothes. the water just drains back out of it, instead of cutting off and start washing my clothes, they just sit there, unwashed.Why do my washing machine keep filling up with water, but it wont wash, and the water just goes out?
There could be a number of factors, first check if your drain hose is in its position? If it is, your level sensor or your water solenoid valve could be out. If you have the multimeter, you can check the continuity of each or get some electrician to check and replace for you.Why do my washing machine keep filling up with water, but it wont wash, and the water just goes out?
in one of the tub corners is a plastic grating that houses a waterlevel sensor which may be stuck due to dirt or grime, pour hot water to loosen the grime and see if it moves freely, then bang back the grating. fill the tub and see if the wash cycle goes on
Your out let hose is too low, check the height of it, it should be at least two thirds the height of you washing machine. Lets hope your not on a water meter as your bill will be going up, and one more word of advise Never go out and leave an appliance on, or you could come home to either a bad flood or worse still a burnt down house.
Nancy R is a spoiled kid. I'm sorry you had to see that. I think your transmission is out. Try changing the settings and if she still doesn't work, you may be better off buying another one because the repair can be expensive. All washing machines can clean clothes well so don't worry about getting a really expensive one. Even a good used one is worth it. Good luck and have a great year.
Your clothes may have caused it to be uneven and this would cause for your washer to continue on all day..Orr someone else in the apartment you live in is using your machine and placed your clothes back in the machine hoping that you didn't notice anything different.
Mine did that when the drain hose fell down and wasn't on the right angle....make sure it is where it normally is
the timing unit is shot. you need to call a repairman or go to a laundramatt and do it.
Honey, it's broke
A long tome ago, I had that problem. Solved it by connecting a piece of PVC to the drain pipe to raise the machines drain hose up even with the height of the machine. It worked. Hope this helps.
