Washing machine keeps filing with prewash water

[5robot]

Hi,

So the Beko WTG620M1W series washing machine has started to not work correctly. Washing machine will not stop filling with what I believe is the prewash fill water (3rd comparment on right). This only happens once a cycle has begun. For example when putting on a spin and drain mode only, the prewash tray is filling with water constantly and into the drum even when the cycle is trying to spin or drain. On all the cycles, because the machine takes so long to drain the system, with the now added extra water, the program just ends after about 5 mins.

I read that the tube that connects to the water level sensor can become blocked. I blew air into the upper portion of the hose connected to the water sensor and could hear air bubbles in the drum, so I do not suspect any blockage.

Is there anything else that should be checked or maybe the prewash mechanism can be disabled somehow so only the main wash water is entering the system?

Thanks,

Note had this one as yet myself. I`d hazzard a guess it is a duff pcb because the valve is letting in h20 on spin / pump out.However, the pressure switch of that design when they fail very strange things can happen ( had something very similar to your problem with a Hotpoint.). I`d try a new pressure switch first. BUT JUST TO MAKE SURE before that if you get the water filling the machine up with a normal speed of fill and you were to turn the machine electrically off at the plug if the water still pours through in to the machine i`ll be a dodgy valve which does not mean the machine should fill when the machine is not in use, i.e. the classic dip dip throughout the night common valve failure ( that is a different fault ) – actually with these Beko valves it is usually the opposite i.e. not letting water or very little in to the machine.
