Possible Causes
Worn or contaminated water inlet valve seats, High water pressure, Debris in inlet valve
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the water supply valves and unplug the unit before servicing.
- Confirm seepage: With the machine off, turn on the water supply and observe if water slowly enters the drum. If so, the inlet valve is leaking internally.
- Clean inlet screens: Remove hoses and clean the inlet screens. Debris can prevent the valve from closing fully.
- Replace inlet valve: If seepage continues after cleaning, replace the water inlet valve assembly with the correct Insignia part.
- Consider pressure regulator: If household water pressure is very high, install a pressure regulator to reduce stress on the valves.
