My Zanussi keeps filling with water until it comes up through the soap dispenser and floods the floor. It's like the valve that should stop the flow doesn't kick in.
your manifold air pressure chamber sounds block,hence the pressure switch doesn't operate and keeeps filling.this is the part where you put the filter into.replacing it is the easiest or you could remove it and wash it out.
