You could have very easily disconnected something while repairing your lid switch. The most common cause of a washer that will not stop filling is a disconnected air hose on the pressure switch. The pressure switch is located inside the operator console behind the load level selector knob. There is a small plastic air hose attached to it that senses pressure from the wash tub as the water rises. This difference in pressure is what determines when the pressure switch shuts off. Without the air hose attached, the pressure switch will not shut off. The following link explains:

Since you had to remove your operator console while replacing the lid switch, I would begin there. Read through the link provided and let me know if you have nay questions. I hope this helps you solve your problem.

Something in the water level switch. It is a diaphragm like device with a small plastic tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. As water level increases so does the pressure on the air in the tube and when it reaches a certain level it activates the switch to turn off the water and signals the timer to start appropriate cycle. See if you damaged the tube when working and the switch can be tested for continuity using a multimeter or ohmmeter. Hope this helped and best wishes.
