Washing Machine Overflowing With Water in Samastipur
A machine that keeps filling past its normal level — sometimes overflowing onto the floor — points to a fault in the water level sensing system rather than the inlet valve itself.

Faulty Water Level Sensor (Pressure Switch)
This sensor tells the machine when to stop filling. If it fails or gets stuck, the machine keeps letting water in past the intended level.
Signs: Water keeps rising well past the normal fill mark for your load size.
Rs 500 - 900Blocked Pressure Switch Tube
A small air tube connects the drum to the pressure switch — if it's kinked, blocked, or has water in it, the switch can't read the level correctly.
Signs: Overflowing happens inconsistently, sometimes fine and sometimes not.
Rs 300 - 500Can try yourselfStuck Water Inlet Valve
If the valve controlling water flow doesn't close fully after reaching the set level, water keeps entering even after the machine thinks it should have stopped.
Signs: Water keeps trickling in even mid-wash-cycle.
Rs 600 - 1,200Faulty Control Board (PCB)
On automatic machines, the control board interprets sensor signals — if it misreads them, it can keep signalling the valve to stay open.
Signs: Overflow paired with other erratic cycle behaviour.
Rs 1,200 - 2,500Frequently Asked Questions
Should I stop using the machine if it's overflowing?
Yes, until it's checked — continued overflow risks water damage to your floor and, on some machines, to internal electrical components.
Can I check the pressure switch tube myself?
You can visually check for obvious kinks in the tube (usually accessible behind the top panel), but clearing or testing the switch itself is best left to a technician.
Is this the same fault as the machine not filling enough?
No, it's the opposite symptom — see our washing machine not filling water guide if your issue is too little water instead.
How urgent is this repair?
Fairly urgent given the water damage risk — we'd recommend not running further loads until it's inspected.
