Water in the drum when Washing Machine is off!!

In this video, I show how I repaired an internal leak in my washing machine that caused it to fill with water while not running. I found the part number using the online schematic at sears.com, then I purchased the part from Amazon for less than $20.

I’m in the process of repairing my whirlpool washer that wasn’t taking the water away, but have found that water is also leaking into my drum. I have now replaced the water pump and think my water inlet valve has broken too. So that will be my next job. I’m also videoing both jobs for my channel that I have just started. You’re video has given me a heads up to what my problem probably is and it’s my turn to pay it forward. Cheers

You just saved me $300. I bought the part and installed it myself. My part requires two hoses inside to be connected which were each like 3 inches long. I was concerned that being 12 years old that they might crack and break as I struggled to pull them off the old part. The part was not easily accessible like yours in the video. So I disconnected the hose on the other end that attached to the machine and once I got the part further out of the washer I was able to pull off the two hoses more easily. I had to use pliers and wiggle them back and forth. It was impossible by hand. It was much easier to put in the part then it was to take out. I tested it and no leaks. I immediately did a load and it worked fine. Thank you so much for this video! You have a subscriber now.

@Nonplused 4 жыл бұрын

@@handydadtv Well you haven't checked pricing lately they aren't $20 anymore. "Cheaply made" would be a better description. Anyway I had trouble confirming I was ordering the right part because the vendors give a part number but not the models it fits, so I took the top off my washer so I could visually confirm it was the right one. Oh and wouldn't you know it the shut off valves for the water supply are seized so I probably have to cut the wall open and replace those too. :-( Oh well at least the hole will be behind the washer. How on earth it was ever decided a ball valve with a flimsy tab to turn it in a plastic recess was a good idea for a washer service I will never figure out. At least a regular garden style tap can be broken free when it seizes because the knob is more robust and it has mechanical advantage. Why these stupid ball valves? How much cheaper are they really? Not going to be much cheaper over the long run now that I have to replace them. Probably I'll wait until I get all the plumbing replaced because I have the crap grey PBE plumbing so it has all got to go soon than later too. So when you add it all up, the effort to save a dollar here and a dollar there means I have to replace this part, the supply valves, and all the plumbing in my house. The world has come to a dark dark place in terms of quality and durability. I wonder how much more it would have really cost to plumb my house with copper when it was built? Stupid plastic.

@@handydadtv Well, unless you used the big ones with the sturdy handles and the valves are well screwed to the wall I can tell you what will happen when it is time to replace the machine. You'll be using the main water cut-off to the house. I also have those ball valves on my in-floor heating and none of them turn. I busted the tab off one of them by hand before I gave up and just left the system open when replacing the surge tank. The ball valves with the tabs to turn them are absolute crap. They seize up over time and the tab isn't strong enough to deal with it. If you put a wrench on it you'll just break off the tab and as I said it is possible to do that by hand as well. I have other ball valves that have a sturdy handle that bolts on, and those still work. But the ones with tabs are absolute crapolla.

Follow up: After a week for delivery and then another week arguing with FedEx because they applied the GST (I live in Canada) to the wrong account I finally got my part and the machine appears to be working again. So thanks for the video. I had my son do the installation as a learning experience since he gets no school right now. Still need to observe for a few weeks but hopefully this fixes it. If anybody else out there is reading this follow HandyDad's advice because we had it happen 3 times where the water filled up half the barrel and caused flooding twice when we opened the door (by the third time I was checking with a flashlight but still this was a problem). Once we finally got the part installation only took a little over half an hour and that was with a 14 year old doing it. Now to catch up on the laundry. That will take longer, I think. Anyway thanks HandyDad! (PS I still had to use pliers to open those stupid ball valves back up. Luckily the tabs did not break off. I don't think I'll be so lucky next time. Shut off valves should be designed with a 50 year life at least if you ask me. No point having them if they don't last longer than the washing machine or toilet or whatever.)

Could be the problem , I would have checked the valve for continuity to make sure it is a bad valve.

Other than that a good diy if it is 100% a valve issue

Thanks for the post and link to the part. Your video will come in handy if we need to do the same fix on our Whirlpool. Just found a large amount of water on the laundry room floor this morning. Thought it was a leak from somewhere else I'm monitoring but it wasn't for the next thought was the washing machine and since I didn't see anything on the back, figured it was underneath until I noticed a steady drip coming out the front which we leave open to air out. Drum was completely overflowing. While dealing with a hot water heater leak and removing the tank and leaving the hot side open, I turned off the hot water to the washing machine so I could still run it... on cold only. I'm assuming that is still not good because I got a couple F20 errors and now this happened so I'm wondering if that lack of pressure on the hot water side is messing with the solenoids functioning properly. Time will tell. I think it took a day to fill so if it is still leaking, probably won't see anything in the drum for many hours.

So I checked out my intake valve, hoping it would look like yours! Of course, it doesn't! I did find the part -it has 3 valves, but only two plastic extension pipes. I've just about unscrewed everything and I still can't get the dame piece out; there are also a number of wires connected that I can't seem to disconnect or loosen. CRAP!! Do I spend hundreds of dollars on a repairman, or invest that money in a new washing machine? It's hard to know, but my replacement part is coming up at $67, not less than $20. And, as I can't seem to get anything apart but the screws (ha!), one has to wonder whether it's worth the cost of a repair. They sure don't make appliances like they used to - as we all now know! Seems when I was growing up, most appliances had a 20-25 year life span. Now, one is lucky to get 10 years! And here I was, hoping I could fix it myself!
