My washing machines works fine but the day after I've used it it is full of water. Does anyone know why this is or what I can do about it?

Your fill (mixing) valve is bad. Just turn your water valves off between washes until valve can be replaced. The valve has hot and cold solenoids. Replacement will cover both possabilities.

How full is "full"? Full to the top? halfway? It may be faulty solenoid valve, allowing water to leak under mains pressure into machine. But if that was the case I might expect after two days or more that the waste pipe of machine would be continually allowing the water out once it reached the highest point of the waste/outlet pipe. Is the water that goes into the machine clean fresh water? Sometimes if appliances are not connected/configured correctly to the sink traps/outlets water from the sink/appliances when emptied can find it's way into other appliances.

Could be the water fill valve has not closed tight--allowing water to seep/run into the tub filling it up. This happens even if the power is on or off and can cause flooding. Replace the water fill valve.

faulty inlet valve makes sense. u can turn the water off with the valves behind the machine that bring water into machine.

valve that lets water into machine is electric. Needs either to be changed or control wire is busted, or it may be simply stuck open, something may have gotten wedged in the valve and it cant close

see if the machine has a 'drain' programme and set it to this and run the machine. Try another load as normal and if it happens again get someone out to have a look.

is the outlet pipe (the bendy one!) going to your sink od directly to a drain
I had a similer situation once, where the spun out water would syphon back in if the sink filled!
just one possibility?

I would guess that there is a faulty inlet valve. I would get an engineer out to service it.
