According to data monitoring across the entire network, the number of discussions related to "water failure in washing machines" has increased by 35% year-on-year in the past 10 days. This article will provide a structured solution to this high-frequency problem, along with a comparison of the failure rates of popular repair brands.
1. Analysis of common fault causes
| Fault type | Probability of occurrence | Typical symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| Water level switch failure | 42% | Continuous water inflow does not stop, no water level sensing |

• Check whether the drain pipe is above the water level of the washing machine
• Observe whether the "pre-wash" function is mistakenly set in the program selection
2.Advanced diagnostics (tools required)
• Use a multimeter to check the solenoid valve resistance (normal value 4-6Ω)
• Disassemble the control board and check the water level switch contacts
• Test the working voltage of the drainage pump (AC220V)
3. Comparison of faults of popular brands
| brand | Water failure rate | average repair cost | Main faulty parts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haier | 11.2% | 180-260 yuan | water level sensor |
| Beautiful | 9.7% | 150-220 yuan | Solenoid valve assembly |
| little swan | 13.5% | 200-300 yuan | Control board |
| Siemens | 7.8% | 350-500 yuan | pressure switch |
4. Emergency treatment plan
