My Zanussi Aquacycle 1200 frontloader fills with water when switched off. Is there a easy cost free solution or do I have to get a plumber out.

is there a way of getting to inspect the outer drum as there is a bra rib fell through one off the holez and is catching the drum when working

cold water inlet valve letting past. (possible new valve replacement)
hold water inlet valve letting past (ignore if cold fill only)
check drain hose could be filling from the connection to sink if fitted this way (back siphoning)

cure
turn the washer isolation taps OFF after each wash . why do you think they were fitted
raise the height of the drain hose to just under the top of the work unit unit (water don't like running up hill )
