Is the pump running continuously even with the on/off button in the off poistion? If so it maybe your anti flood system. Try pulling the machine out and tipping it over to one side.(right over). Water should leak out and empty a sump. The sump has a gauge on it which stops the machine working properly when it gets to a certain level. You may have a leak into the sump which will need fixing at some point.
