How to fix a washing machine that keeps filling and draining

Water Level Switch

The water level switch regulates the appropriate water level in the tub for each particular cycle. It is typically located inside the control panel. We have to perform two rounds of the switch testing. The first one:
You are to find the wires of three switch terminals. Disconnect the wires from the terminals. Using your multi-meter, inspect the terminals in pairs for the continuity as follows: 1 and 2, 1 and 3, 2 and 3. Be aware that two pairs shouldn’t have the continuity and one pair should. If the result differs, it means the water level switch is defective and needs to be replaced.
The second round of the continuity test: reconnect the tub to the water level switch. Test the terminals for their continuity in the same order over again. While testing them, gently blow into the air pressure connection. The blowing will make the switch click. Keep the air pressure, and note the readings.
Compare the results of two rounds of testing. The pairs which didn’t show the continuity in the first round, should show the continuity in the second one. And those pairs which gave the readings of infinity (no continuity) in the first round, they should show the readings of continuity in the second one. If the readings are different in the second testing, the switch is faulty and has to be replaced.

Pressure Switch

The pressure switch is just another name for the water level switch. Please follow the instructions described above.

Air Dome Tube

The air dome tube can be a reason the issue in that case, if your washer keeps draining while filling. You should thoroughly inspect the air dome hose. Make sure there are no cracks and damages. Discard the air dome tube and douse it into the bucket with water. After having sealed the one end of the hose, blow air into the opposite end. If you notice any bubbles, it means there are some cutouts or holes. Replace the air dome tube. If there aren’t any bubbles, make sure the hose doesn’t have any obstructions inside. Remove debris and clogs, if needed.
