If the water stops when you stop the cycle, then the pressure sensor is at fault. If you need to turn the water supply off to stop it, then the water inlet valve is at fault.
Assuming the water is coming in even when unit is unplugged from wall. You should to replace the water inlet valves where the hoses connect to the machine. You need to unplug the power and remove the top, disconnect the hoses unhook the wire harness plugs, unscrew the hose valve hex nut and remove valve. Install the new one in reverse order.
You either have a defective pressure switch or water inlet valve. Start to fill the machine with warm water so that both solenoids on the water inlet valve (hot and cold) are activated. After about 30-60 seconds, push the timer knob in to stop water flow. If the water continues to flow, replace the water inlet valve. If this is the case, it may take a few times of starting and stopping water flow to allow solenoid to heat up and become symptomatic. If water flow stops abruptly each time knob is pushed in, you most likely have a defective pressure switch (water level switch).
