I'm not sure what ips valves are, but if they are like flood safe hose valves ypu probably need to reset the valves by turning off the angle stops where the hoses connect to the water supplym then SLOWLY TURN the water back on. This resets the shut off safety feature. The reason that the safety feature was activated is due to some change in the water pressure. This used to happen to me whenever the main water supply to the house was turned off, then back on again. See if this works.

This is a Hose or plumbing problem, if the inlet hoses have a valve built-in on one end, TAKE THEM back to the store and get your money back for these USELESS hoses, you will have nothing but problems with them. If the shut-off is being caused by the devices above the hand shut off valves, call your plumber and get rid of them, these type of flood shut-off devices will NEVER WORK and will NEVER SAVE anyone any water damage, Inlet hoses almost never fail suddenly, so these devices can not work as designed.
As an appliance technician we have made a few thousand dollars on service calls to diagnose problems caused by these ineffective devices, hopefully the problems you are having is covered by a warranty. |

I also got rid of my flood safe hoses about 3 years ago because of the hassle with resetting them every time there had been a change in the incoming water pressure. I placed a note next to the faucets to turn off the water when finished using the washer. Since my laundry is on the 2nd floor I believe that this ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure should a hose ever rupture.
