LG washing machine problem

Hello. My 9.5kg LG machine often refills after the end of the spin cycle (when it should finish). It's not a solenoid valve leaking. No error code comes up.

    This more for the "In my home" board than "Techie stuff" but here goes - Is the drain hose plumbed into the waste under the sink? If so water from the sink can go into the washing machine if either it isn't positioned correctly or there is a blockage in the drain pipe from the sink.

    when you say 'refills' can you hear water coming in via the supply pipes ie does it make the same noise as when it first fills up at the start of the washing cycle?

  • Firstly, sorry, my first post and didn't see My Home. Thanks for the comments. The drain hose goes into a trough and can't siphon back. You can hear and see the fresh tap water coming in.

    Then it is likely to be a problem with the electronics inside causing the water input valve to open. You could try another program and see if it is just that one program on which the fault occurs.

    Otherwise, I would guess a circuit board replacement is needed but obviously can't be sure - you need to call an engineer out.
