What This Means

Water supplied continually because water level detection does not work; Drain hose clogged causing injection check at narrow section, preventing water level detection; Water supplied continually due to freezing or foreign material in water supply valve; Water level sensor is degraded

What actually causes this:

The water inlet valve is stuck open and will not stop filling, or the water level sensor has failed so the washer does not know the tub is full.

Turn off both water faucets behind the washer immediately to stop water flow, then unplug the washer.
