You probably have a clogged filter. The filter is a made of wire mesh that is molded to the approximate dimensions of a thimble. Becuase the wire mesh of the filter is very fine, it is difficult to clean. Order a replacement from the manufacturer. Be sure to shut the water off and remove the hose. There are sometimes small screen filters on the hoses, and always a screen filter on the infeed to the washer where the hose connects. Check the filter. Even a little bit of build-up can cause severe issues with fill time. My washer was taking close to an hour to fill on cold, and now fills in 2 minutes since changing the filter.

How do washing machines work?

Operating a washing machine is pretty simple:There are a few things to decide before you start your load of clothes, such as how big the load is (small, medium, large, extra large), what temperature the water will be for the wash and rinse cycles (cold/cold, warm/cold, warm/warm, hot/cold), how the machine should agitate (delicate, knit, permanent press, heavy), and how long the cycles should last (number of minutes, based on how soiled your clothes are).After you fill the tub with clothes, the machine fills the tub with water, and then stirs the clothes around using an agitator.After some time agitating, the washer drains the water and then spins the clothes to remove most of the water. Then, it refills, and agitates the clothes some more to rinse out the soap. Then it drains and spins again.


Why does the water keep running in the tub and washing machine when the water meter is off?
