Auto Dishwasher won't stop filling

[muzzy69]

I've got a Bosch WFLT2440GB/18 Integrated Washing Machine. It will not stop filling with water. Turning it to 'OFF' stops it and the only way to empty it is to either spin or drain. When starting up. machine starts to fill, stops. and then carries on filling..non stop! Help! Xmas is on it's way and I don't want to put on smelly clothes.

Check the pressure pipe poss split , and blow down the pipe to clear any blockage

Thanks for posting so quickly! The washer starts filling for about 5 seconds as normal. Stops. Starts again but refuses to stop. Machine will not start as usual(drum will start to turn as water enters drum normally). So drum stationary,water filling non stop equals...oh dear! Can you guide me through where I can find pipe that you described.

Remove the lid and it's a plastic thin pipe on the side of the cabinet.

To Rocks1,

You are one hundred per cent diamond. Followed your diagnosis and instructions and VOILA! I am now able to wash clothes for Xmas and have received loads of Brownie Points from the wife. Thanks again!
