That style of washer has a transmission tube called the "mode shifter" part#WH38X10017 It has a small electrical solenoid that is supposed to shift from the agitate to spin functions... The problem happens when the entire tub remains engaged for the agitation stroke. So you would see the entire tub moving like just the agitator would normally... That causes larger than normal waves that crest and come out the back left over flow tube. You probably need to replace the mode shifter. Heres the manual for testing...

The drain pump on your model is inside the cabinet on the back left. You can remove the front panel by pressing in on two clips, located in the seam where the front meets the top of the washer,with a putty knife. You will also need to roll off the belt under the washer. Once you have the front panel off the pump is held in place by three screws that anchor it to the washer's base. It should be part #35-6780 here's a link Drain Pump 35 6780 Hope that helps!

If it was the bearing it should be leaking water out the bottom! It is more than likely the water pump. The seal in the pump drops down and then makes noise.

sounds like a spring broke or fell off.

Not sure if you mean that it fills all the time and overflows or you mean that it just always fills and never has enough water. The first problem would refer to a faulty water level switch - need to replace. The second would be that the washer drains as it fills - if the drain hose is lower than the washer, inspect the anti-siphon valve.

I believe it is your lid switch. I have replaced 3 this week. If you get me the model number i can tell you for sure. Another thing that caused this is the motor to go bad. Do you smell a burning smell when it is trying to run after the fill up? If not get me the model number and i will get you the part number for the lid switch.
