Default Washing machine has filled up with water whilst turned off!

Hi,

I was wondering whether any one could shed any light on a most
peculiar problem we seem to have encountered with our Electra AWM900
Washing Machine. Unlike Adrian our motor and other related functions
still seem to be operating OK : however we returned from a few days
away late last night to find that the newly laid carpets were soaked
through.

The washing machine drum was half full of water (having been
completely empty and turned off before we went away), but because the
washing machine door was ajar to prevent it smelling, water had come
out and saturated the nearby carpets.

The peculiar thing is that as well as the machine being turned off,
the water was not flowing. It seemed to have filled itself up, and
then stopped for some reason. If it were a burst pipe or a fault
within the machine, I would have expected to have seen the water
still flowing out when we got back but this was not the case.

This morning I have run a rinse / spin cycle to empty all the water
sitting in the drum : this appears to have worked fine, with the
machine now apparently back to normal. However I am keen to get to
the root cause of what caused this before we get our new carpets to
replace the other new carpets!

Many thanks in advance,
James.

Tunbridge Wells.
