For the last few days have noticed that the washing machine fills itself with water between the washes or drying programs. I have checked the filter and it's clear, also the pipes are in order. I manage to get rid of the water if I put on a spin or drain cycle but the machine fills with water again later, I'm not quite sure but I believe it takes about 1 hr. I haven't had any floodings yet (fingers crossed), it only fills just above the door.
Have checked the previous topics and found one similar to mine and the answer was the one below.
My problem is how to locate the solenoid valves , can someone tell me where in the machine they are located, or if someone can come with another solution. Thank you




if the water is clean then you have got either one or both of your fill valves are leaking (like a dripping tap) into your machine. the best way to cure it is to replace them both. or if you want to identify which one (usually the cold) simply turn only one off overnight and work it out from there.
if the water is smelly then it's back filing from your sink waste.
solenoid valves are not expensive

Should be located just behind connection with flexible hoses,take top off you should see valves inside.
 
Can you please tell me if it easy to get hold of these valves and change them or do I need to ask for professional help, thank you
 
Maybe you could check water pressure going into machine if high turn it down at feed tap
