My Kenmore washer keeps filling with water and never shuts off. Could this be the water level switch went bad. Thank You.
That’s what it sounds like! Sometimes water gets in the tube or the tube gets a crack or hole and it will do that as well.
I put a load in to soak last night and forgot to run the wash cycle. This morning when I set it for a wash cycle, it started filling again, but it was already full! Is there a float that indicates how full the washer is? If it is a timer, I would think after I drained 15 gallons out and set the water level at the lowest, it would have stopped when it reached the minimum level and started aggitating.
Do I need a new part? Meanwhile, what can I do to finish this load?
I’m not happy!!! 
This is the borrowed machine we got to replace the HE3t that died a few weeks back. Do I really need to buy a new washer?
Thank you for all your help!
I’m sorry, I thought I put the model number in! Can’t do much without it! It’s a Kenmore 80 series 110.24812200.
My HE3T had the main bearing go out and the glider is broken too. I wrote about that in another post. My owner’s manual suggested using HE detergent and I forgot how much regular detergent was recommended and gradually increased it, but we only got the "suds" routine a couple of times. So, my old machine is only good for parts now.
Thank you for your interest in my machine!
Glad you were able to get it going!!
