When wash water reaches first water level (low), washer begins draining as it fills. It also does it at the beginning if I manually select a level at the start. It has nothing to do with the drainage hose. I moved that around, but no change.
Any suggestions? Thanks!…Barbi

If there is a fault, you should get flashing lights across the wash progress part of the control panel. If you could get a note of which ones are lit (it’s a binary code from right to left), we may be able to advise further. Initial thoughts are a problem with the water level control switch.

Check the diverter valve. Remove the valve, as there might be a piece of something jamming it open. Located on bottom right side bottom of tub to the back and no special tools neeed to replace. Disconnect from the power, tip washer back on a 45′ angle, and the valve is right next to the drain pump. Three hose clamps, two wires and a phillips screw, watch how it comes out as it has to go back in the same way. Put a pan under to catch water that comes out when you disconnect the hoses from the valve.
I hope this helps:wink:

I do not know the model but my training with them was if there is a leak some where this could happen! give it a try.

It is a US model. It looks like a standard smartdrive, but F+P put a diverter valve in to improve the efficiency. 8)

I am so happy to tell you that I am washing some very dirty clothes right now! KiwiwantsworkinCanada, you were right…it was the diverter valve. I wasn’t able to get down on my old knees until last night to check it out. And this morning…went for the big wash…and hooray!
You are a lifesaver to two older, ill-healthed people who could never afford to have someone else fix this machine. We bought it three years ago with a little inheritance money. I can’t thank you all enough for your generosity in helping, or trying to help. You are doing good work!
Thanks again,
Barbi 😀
