My washing machine...noooooo

Well think my washing machine is knackered, started rattling last night then kept filling up with water and wouldn't drain. Can get it to drain by manually forcing it to, but continues filling up as well. If i turn it off it stops filling up but as soon as it goes on, no matter whether it is set to a cycle or not it starts filling up instantly.

Somebody thought it was the filter but if that's the case it surely wouldn't manually drain?

Worth calling out an engineer? It's still under guarantee but don't want to risk a charge if it's something small.

I can get it to drain, it just fills up at same time. Drain hosee must be fine as it will drain, it just won't stop filling up. Luckily it's still under guarantee so will get the engineer out.

Oh and it's Indesit. When you put it on a drain cycle it will empty the water, but fills up again at the same time because in the detergent box the water ****** in. Luckily it drains faster than it fills so you can empty it then you need to turn it off to stop it filling again.

Comet, about 7 months ago. Got an engineer coming thursday.

And i told you i can get it to stop anyway, fail to see the need to cut the water supply to it? Either way it's not going to work.

If the water valve is stuck is that my problem or should the engineer be doing that? I checked the filter for coins, nothing, that also fully emptied the machine (onto the floor)
