Hello
I have a Maytag Neptune front load washer Model # MAH5500BWW
My washer fills up with water when its not in use .
tried unplugging machine and turning water vales off and it still filled up ??
When the water valve is in the on position it sounds like there is water running ?
Im thinking water intake valve ?
Also i have undone the hoses completely from the valves and waiting to see if tub fills up ?
Any thoughts ? Thank you in advance

Here are your parts Replacement parts for Maytag MAH5500BWW WASHER- HORIZONTAL AXIS | AppliancePartsPros.com[COLOR="DarkRed"] tried unplugging machine and turning water vales off and it still filled up ??[/COLOR] I am not sure I understand. Do you mean that you unplugged the unit and turned off the water faucets at the wall? If yes then you must have 2 problems. 1. the water valve (Item 30 in Section 4) is leaking. You will need both the model number and serial number. 2. one of your faucets is leaking. Note: the valves in the unit can sometimes leak if there is low water pressure. |

It should fix the filling problem.
I would also check your faucets one of them must be leaking. |

Usually it is one of the cold or hot solenoid valve that is jammed open. They are repairable sometimes, but it is best to change it ( 30$ )
The cause for the defect is most probably a bad water filter, or no filter at all.

Looks Like I have the same issue with the tub filling with water.
I have the same model number, MAH5500BWW
Now to figure out how to crack the serial number so I know what part to get from section 4 part 30
The 83 only /87 and later or the prior to 87
I did look for a date code on the back of the machine
Based of a guess, and the only eighty something number I see in the serial number is 85, those are the 5th and 6th digits in the serial number.
So If my guess is correct I will need the prior to 87 valve set.
Can someone confirm this?
Or do I need to post the serial number for it to be cracked?
