This is usually a symptom of a defective fill valve (also known as a mixing valve). Post back with your washer brand and model number, so I may be able to give advice on where to obtain a replacement part and/or how to repair.

Some other causes of water leaking by can be attributed to the fill valve being dirty with sediment or the water pressure being too low at the tap (should be a minimum of 10-25 psi).

If you've never had a problem with water pressure before, you may be able to rule that issue out fairly easily. If the fill valve is dirty with sediment, you can remove it and attempt to flush the valve out along with the sediment screens. I would still need a brand name and model number in order to give the correct advice on how to disassemble. I hope this helps you.

Maytag Performa wont fill hot water

The water fill valve - The water fill valve is a mechanical and electrical part, the coils on the valve need electricity to mechanically open the valve to allow the water to flow into the washer....myth....the washer pumps water into itself...no, it does not. The fill valve opens and the house water pressure pushes the water into the washing machine.
No cold water or no hot water - The fill valve has two coils, one for the hot water and one for the cold water. It is possible that one of the coils can fail and you loose that filling ability. If the cold water coil quits, the hot will still work and during warm fill you will get hot water only and during a cold fill you will get no water at all. If the hot coils quits, you will still have cold water fill, cold water only on a warm setting and no water on a hot fill setting. You can No cold water or no hot water - The fill valve has two coils, one for the hot water and one for the cold water. It is possible that one of the coils can fail and you loose that filling ability.

If the hot coils quits, you will still have cold water fill, cold water only on a warm setting and no water on a hot fill setting. You can test a fill valve live for 120 volts, power to a fill valve coil and no fill = a bad fill valve. You can also test the coils for continuity, no continuity = a bad fill valve. Some Maytag washers have a fuse in the fill valve circuit, if this fuse let go the washer will not fill. Fill valves can also from time to time stick open and not stop filling. If you have to shut off the fill valves to stop the water from filling in the washer, you have a bad fill valve and you will have to replace it.
