Water appears in the washer while it is not running

Water arriving during an idle period differs from water left after a wash. It can involve an incoming supply route or wastewater returning from a connected drain.

Describe the water and timing

Say whether the drum was empty at the last normal end and when water was first noticed later. Mention sink or dishwasher use nearby without assuming the water's origin.

Plan inspection of the routes

The installed waste connection and inlet arrangement may both matter. An engineer can assess the actual path; do not keep running programmes or disconnect hoses to identify the source.
