    If you turn the machine off, does the water stop?

    If not, then you have something holding your solenoid valve open. Most likley a piece of lime or rust stuck. The best repair is to replace the solenoid valve and make sure you have the debris screen in place in the incoming water lines.

    If the water does turn off when you turn the machine off, then that means your pressure switch isn't working properly. This could be because of a ruptured pressure line, or the pressure switch itself.

    Removing the top cover of the machine should reveal a small tube running from the bottom of the tub to the control cluster. Inspect this tube for cracks, and other holes. Make sure it isn't loose. If air can escape the pressure switch will not work.

    Mine was doing the same so I checked the tube that is connected to the switch and it was disconnected. Remove 2 screws behind the control panel. Take of side rails on control panel.You will see two more screws behind the rails. Remove these and the control panel will separate.Look for plastic tube that may be disconnected. Connect back on switch nipple. Reassemble and do those dirty clothes.
