Problem with Kenmore 22642 Top Load Washer
Washer won't stop filling with water.
When I start my washing machine it will not stop filling the tub with water no matter which water level I pick. I saw on another site someone said it might be the water level switch, is there a way to test that?

slick, first see if the hose came off the pressure switch. Just grab the end caps on each end of the control panel and pull them off, they snap on. Remove the two consol screws, pull foward and flip the consol up. See if the hose came off. If it did, just put it back on and use a zip tie to secure it. See attached photo. Catriver...post back.
If the tube to the pressure switch is in place, your problem is most likely the fill solenoids.
Often, grit, sand and other 'stuff' in your water supply will cause the solenoids to stick open.
To repair, pull the washer away from the wall, so you can access the area where your water hoses attach to the washing maching. Note: Turn the water off!
Disconnect the water hoses, allowing them to drain into a bucker. Identify the screws that go from the back of the washer into the item that the hoses attach to. Remove those screws and disconnect the hose(s) that go into the body of the washer. Remove the solenoid unit.
Go to an appliance repair center and, using the original solenoid as an example, purchase a new solenoid.
Reverse the removal procedure, and your done!
A couple more thoughts, in order to remove the solenoid, you may have to remove an access panel (or two). Also, keep track of your screws, hose clamps etc...
also make sure that the drain hose is not stuck far down the drain hole. This will cause a sicphoning effect. Pull the drain hose up some and see if the water stops where it should. I would try this first as it is the easiest to try.

Far left is the pressure switch, (water level switch). See the hose that goes to it.
