How can I fix my Ariston AWD12 washing machine (Margherita 2000)?

The washing machine drum keeps filling up with water after every wash. I have checked that there are no kinks in the drain hose and there doesn't appear to be anything blocking the pump. I did have this problem a few months ago but found it was because my kitchen fitter had not fitted the drain hose at the right level for the water to be pumped away, this has now been rectified and I haven't had the same problem up until now. Can you suugest anything else?

Many thanks

Sounds Like One of the fill valves is weeping when off (like a dripping tap) or water is back filling from the sink, if it is connected that way ~Try:- Filling the sink with water then pull the plug see if the drum fills up?).

Is it Clean or Dirty water ?

Also try truning the Hot & cold water taps of individualy on separate cycles at the end of the wash to work out which inlet valve is weeping.

Cold valve pt no:- c00080664
Hot valve pt no:- c00066517
