    If you can find the pressure switch hose(hose hooks to the outside of tub and up through console) and remove it and if you can't blow through the hose it is blocked , blow through harder and the scum that builds up over the years wil come out which keeps air pressure from reaching the pressure switch.or sediment got into the water valve keeping valve open off to valve.

    There are some obtainable reasons. the 1st element to envision is that your drain hose is greater than the optimal point that the water reaches interior the washing gadget. If the point of the water is greater than the drain hose it is going to constantly drain. Tie your drain hose so it has some factor it quite is greater than the optimal water point. next (and maximum possibly) - your drain hose is sealed on the drain pipe. There would desire to be a manner for air to circulate into between the hose and the pipe. or you have a siphon condition. this would tend to take place maximum interior the rinse cycle whilst the water from the wash cycle siphons the water it quite is attempting to fill for the rinse cycle. If the drain pipe is sealed up with the aid of fact it overflows, it is a plumbing challenge (you will get a siphon wreck gadget yet they do no longer tend to artwork completely). ultimately (and much less user-friendly - washing gadget would would desire to be extra suitable than 2 a protracted time previous) in case you have an previous whirlpool (or kenmore), you have a foul wig-wag (yeah it quite is the real call for them) or a foul water pump. the two of those could reason the water pump to fail to alter from the drain mode.
