Washing machine – lid opens – apartment flooded – reason?
Yesterday, I loaded our LG W4WR70E61 washer-dryer and started it up. When I started it, I heard three or four strange noises: KRCHH KRCCH KRCCH – but then water came out – which I could hear.
When I returned two hours later, the apartment was flooded. The lid was completely open, and water was standing in the machine.
How does this happen? What is the Aqua Water Stop on the hose for?
Why does the machine open?
My thought was, the machine was finished, couldn't drain & there was so much water in the machine that it pushed the door open.
Because when the machine is running, it closes completely.
For further information, when I removed all the water in the apartment and then used the spin cycle to drain the machine, I let the remaining water drain out of the bottom right corner of the machine and cleaned the filter. There was a very small label on it, about 1x3cm in size. Could this be causing it to clog?
I just want to find out what caused it—so it doesn't happen again. Because cork flooring and lots of water over a long period of time is—…shit :)(:
What do you think can still be checked – or is the machine possibly defective?
How does the Aquastop work? How did so much water come in and out? You could literally have filled a bathtub with it…
Thank you!

Hi Hansfisch,
the Aquastop is to protect the feed line. if the machine does not require water, but the hose is defective, the Aquastop prevents the water drain.
In your case, the door was not properly closed or the lock has a fault.
Normally, when the door is blurred and the mash is put into operation, the electronics move the door and allows the opening only shortly after the end of the program.

The water stop only ensures that the feed is stopped when water is running into the machine. If the machine runs once or when the water is in the machine, then the water stops no longer brings.
It can't be on the screen. There's nothing going on. Rather, an error message would have to appear. The door shouldn't leave alone. This is a subject for a professional.
