Maybe the water level switch but someone will be around to lend better help. I will say though if you like your washer I advise you to fix it. Wont be too hard if its an older traditional machine. You can find a video to walk you through the steps. Moni you are pretty good at diy stuff so you can do this. Dadoes or someone will be able to help you. Just hold on awhile.

I "like the machine", cause it is paid for. :) Going on a trip in 12 days, and really don't want to mess with a broken machine right now.

Woo Hoo! water is running in, and stopping as it is supposed to, no leaks anywhere... Yipee for You Tube!

Bought a new water inlet valve, and installed it.

Sounds good, Moni. I replaced a water inlet valve in my older Maytag myself one time, but it wasn't that it wasn't shutting off during fill, it was leaking water into the machine when I wasn't using it.

The next time my plumber friend was there, I had him replace the hot and cold water shut offs in that laundry room (the vintage handles would drip, or not quite turn the water fully off any longer) with simple sturdy lever handles. If you are leaving town, can you turn off the water to the machine while you are going to be gone? Just a safety measure....

Moni your fast...in 4 hours you diagnosed your problem found the part and installed. Lol

morz, I used to turn it off, when I left for vacation... but not the last few times... Must be getting old and forgetful? LOL

But since I have a house mate right now, it's all good.
