hotpoint WD420 flooding from soap draw.

[joe824]

Hi hoping someone can help.
When my washing machine is going into the full wash phase of its cycle, it will not stop filling the drum and is over flowing out of the soap dispenser drawer.
I have done some research and found out the most likely cause of this is the pressure switch, chamber or tube linking the two. I have changed the switch and checked both the tube and the chamber and all looks fine but the fault persists.

I have checked all the waste pipes to the drain they are fine and even the tube from the dispenser to the drum and again all seems ok.

I’m out of ideas if anyone can help it’s appreciated.

Thanks
Joe

Have you removed the large black rubber sump hose and filter from behind the lower back panel to check for obstructions there ?
Pressure switches not a common fault on these. 😉

No not yet, is that the one that connects to the pump?
