Sounds like a weeping fill valve. Turn off the faucets and spin out the water then see if it refills. | ||

I am betting the water valve could be letting water trickle in when it’s not being used. Had a similar thing happen to my 1963 RCA Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII washer with the valve sticking open and letting water trickle in and haven’t had issues with the water valve since I rebuilt it 2 months ago.

Now I Have the Same Problem!
Ugh, just discovered my 806 is experiencing the same issue with a weeping/leaking fill valve. I typically use it as one of my daily drivers so have been turning off the (cold) water valve after each use. Sounds like the best thing to do is to replace the valve. Any help with linking/finding a replacement would be most helpful. I have no idea of the year make of this model, only the label on the top of the console that states is an 806. It’s interesting that where the usual serial/model number plate should be appears that there never was one in place there (see photo).
