I saw that this problem has happened to 2 other posters on this forum, but that was back in January.
We got our machine in October last year, and the problem occured only a few weeks later. The machine fills up regardless of whether it is left off or in standby - even with the door left open! The filter has been cleaned, so that's not the problem.
We have now had the valve replaced twice, and the problem recurred each time. THe last thing we did was have the whole damn machine replaced - and yes, it's filling up. We were told by Zanussi that the fault must be with our water pressure; but we have had that checked by our plumber, and also spoken to our local water board, and it seems that our water pressure is within the limits that Zanussi quote for this machine. We have a dishwasher that's working perfectly, and our previous washing machine had no problems - but that was quite old and had a mechanical valve, I guess.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do? If the two posters who I saw had this problem - Spuddly and Breezer, I think - are reading, could you tell me if replacing the valve fixed it for you?
Thanks for any help you guys can give.
