Angry Tub will not keep water, keeps draining during cycle, thus constantly adding water.
Brand: Frigidaire
Age: 1 - 4 years

I just moved. As soon as I started my first load of laundry, I noticed the washer would not keep water. It is not leaking on the floor or anything, but the tub continuously drains. It will start cycling for about 30-45 seconds then stop to add more water. I had to stop the washer and skip to the spin just to keep it from continuing this vicious cycle. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

Did you check to make sure that the drain hose in not to far in the wall drain? This causes a siphoning effect. I had the same problem when we moved last year. My husband just shoved the hose as far as it would go into the wall.
