If your machine works as it should, it should draw and drain water at least twice in one cycle. The first time for the process in which the machine washes, the second time to activate the rinse mode. This is set when selecting a washing program, depends on its duration. If suddenly your washing machine suddenly "went crazy" and continuously draws water - this is a deviation from the norm.

"Went crazy" - the washing machine draws and drains water. What to do?
This type of malfunction can be caused by two things:
- Either your washing machine is not properly installed,
- Or a breakdown has occurred.
No matter how you spin it, you need to take some action. If you choose to do nothing, you can't expect good things - there's a good chance you'll put your washing machine out of commission completely. Do you need this?
If you consider the first option, you need to check the correct organization of the drain system. You need to make sure that the hose that drains the water is above the level of the tank. Otherwise, the water will flow unobstructed into the drain and here it is a problem - the washing machine draws and drains water almost simultaneously.
How to make sure that the drainage system is properly organized?
When the machine is properly installed, the drain hose is positioned above the level of the tank: most often it is attached either to a sewer pipe or a siphon, and be sure to elevate about half a meter from the floor. If the washing machine is constantly taking on water, first make sure that your hose is okay.
It may also be that it is impossible to get to the drain connection, for any reason, for example, interfered cabinet, screen, wall or anything else.
Then the following steps can be taken:
- Start the washing process and wait until the tank is full of water.
- Then activate the drain and pause the process for a little while.
- Now observe the water level.
- If it remains unchanged, then there is nothing wrong with the drain system. If the water becomes less and less, then the problem of why the washing machine constantly drains is obvious.
But, if your washing machine has been at your place for a long time, and always worked perfectly, and now suddenly "went crazy", obviously, the problem is more serious. Some kind of breakage has occurred.
We recommend that you do the following: Turn off the power, block the water supply and drain the washer with an additional drain filter. Well, and, of course, to ask for help from a master.
Probable malfunctions, in which the washing machine draws and drains water at the same time
| Failure . | Probable cause | The price for repair. |
| The water level sensor is broken. | Probably the water level sensor has exhausted its service life. It measures the amount of water in the tank and, if necessary, gives a command to the inlet valve to fill it. In this solution, it relies on the water column. The pressostat may have become clogged from possible scale or sediment, or its gates and hoses may have malfunctioned. The water level sensor should be diagnosed, which will tell you if it can be repaired or if it will still have to be replaced. | Starting at $14.. |
| The intake valve is broken. | The cause is probably a malfunctioning intake valve. The diaphragm may have loosened or the valve may not be able to hold water pressure at all. The intake valve should be replaced. | Starting at $12. |
*Please note! The indicated price includes only the repair, it does not include the cost of spare parts. The total price will be revealed only after the diagnostics.
We pay your attention, it is not necessary to hope for chance and to believe that the problem disappears by itself. Using a washing machine that constantly draws and drains water is unsafe and unprofitable. If you misallocate the load on the components of your washing machine, more serious breakdowns can occur that will cost you a lot more money to repair.
