Looks like someone may have adjusted the water level on this machine and adjusted it too high. |

It was not too unusual for the water levels to creep up on these washers as they age. If it is consistently too high the WLC should be adjusted or replaced, otherwise you are likely to get small items in outer and pump when it goes into spin.
The water inlet valve could also be sticking open, after the washer has been filling on the warm setting for about a minute try shutting off the water by pushing the time knob in. The hot and cold valves should close immediately and at the same time, try turning the fill on and off six or more times, if the hot or cold hesitates shutting off for a few seconds or more the inlet valve is faulty and should be replaced. |
