Why does all of my house water stop working when the washer is in use? Water is running in to the washer when in use but all the water like in the kitchen sink and in the bathroom is not working. Once the washer stop, all the water supply come right back around the house.

Most likely you have what's called a "vacuum breaker" or "anti-siphon" valve in your system somewhere that is intended to prevent water from being pulled back into your pipes when the pressure drops, and the washer feed is dropping the pressure enough to activate it.
