Sounds like you have a bad motor,when it heats up it stops running and when it cools down it will run again but one of these times it won't run anymore until you change out the motor.when the motor gets hot you might smell a shellac smell,this is the windings on the motor heating up.part number 8528157 and it's around 120 dollars on the sears site

SOURCE: The duet washing machine fills up with water in between loads. What is Causing This?

Dont want to endorse a commercial site, but you can by a generic part for a bit over $10 for this problem, so do some seraching for a reasonable site (other sites are charging 40-50 dollars for a fill valve.

SOURCE: Whirlpool duet Washing machine won't drain

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. If your washer doesn't drain or spin, you may read and learn what parts may cause this. First, you will want to check your water pump. You need to make sure it is working. Make sure you check the belt on the pump. Make sure it is not broken or loose. Also, make sure your pulley is not stuck in place. Sometimes, they will stick or barely turn at all. If this is the case, you will need to replace it. If the pump, pulley, and belt are working, make sure your motor is working. You should be able to hear it if it is. If it isn't, check your lid switch. The lid switch can cause the motor to not work. It may need adjusted. If not, go ahead and change it. A bad lid switch may cause the washer to not work at all. Now, if your pump is pumping and the washer still won't spin, you will want to check your belt and clutch. Once again, the belt may be broke or loose. Check to make sure your clutch is not worn also. This may be a case of a bad lid switch again as well. You could have a bad drive motor. This is what controls spinning, draining, and agitation. You could have a broken motor coupler. Over time, they will go bad and need replaced. It is possible that your transmission is slipping or damaged. And lastly, you could have a bad basket drive or spin bearing. This is what allows the inner tub to move. If this is the case, you will probably hear loud sounds or loud banging.

Hi my washing machine has started to smell of rotten eggs its only 6 months old and dont no what the problem could be

Possible that the smell is coming from the motor/inlet valve/ pump or the capacitor of the motor. so it is important that you need to have a closer observation to find the source of the smell.
Sometimes it can also be due to drain block and so the dirt accumulation could be stinking. If so remove the drain and clean the hose and fitting , back flush the pump and reset.
