Haier Washer filling when not in use
When your Haier washer is filling with water when off, or you find water in the washing machine drum when not in use, the water inlet valve is the most likely cause. This valve should close completely when the washer loses power. If it is defective, water can continue entering the tub, so check the household water pressure first and replace the water inlet valve if pressure is at least 20 psi. Low household water pressure is the next likely cause. Insufficient pressure can prevent the valve from shutting off fully, especially if a whole-house filter is clogged. Check whether the pressure is low at other faucets, and contact your water supplier if needed. Clogged screens in the fill hoses or water inlet valve are also common. Unplug the Haier washing machine, shut off both water supply valves, disconnect the hoses over a bucket, and clean debris from the screens. These checks can help determine why your washing machine is filling with water when off. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement water inlet valve or other part for your specific Haier washing machine.
01 - Haier Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the washing machine. If the water inlet valve is defective, the wash may fill slowly or not fill at all. The water inlet valve requires at least 20 psi to function properly. First, check the water pressure to determine that it is adequate. If the water pressure is adequate, replace the water inlet valve.

02 - Low Water Pressure from House Supply
The water inlet valve requires good water pressure to shut off properly. If the home's water pressure is too low, the valve may not close fully after the power is shut off causing water to leak into the washer when not in use. If you have a whole house filter it may be clogged and the filter needs to be replaced. If the water pressure is low at all the faucets, you may need to call your local water supplier to determine if the water pressure is sufficient.
Highly Likely
03 - Clogged Screens in Fill Hose or Water Inlet Valve
All water valves have filter screens to prevent particles from clogging the valve or stop the valve from closing. For added protection and easier access, some fill hoses may have screens added to the hose washers/gaskets where the fill hose connects to the homes hot or cold shut-off valve. The screens in the water valve and hoses should be checked and cleaned if necessary. Unplug the machine. Turn off the water supply valves. Get a bucket to catch the remaining water in the hoses. Unthread the hoses from your machine and clean any debris from the filter screens.
