From the information you have supplied, I suspect that the machine is not draining the water away,
1] Check that the drain pump is working (it would be easier to hear it running, before the machine starts the spin cycle, or if your machine has a "drain down" feature)
2] If the pump is running, stop the machine and unplug it from the mains power. Remove the machine drain tube from the point where it is plumbed into the household waste pipe, and lay it down into a bucket, or large pan and allow the water to drain down [ you should expect to get up to 2 gallons (10 Litres) of water from the machine]
Allow the water to drain down completely by holding the drain hose as low as possible into the bucket.
3] once the water has drained completely, remove the drain hose from the pump and check that the drain hose is not blocked.
4] If the hose was clear, and the pump was running (in tests [1] & [2] ), it will be necessary to check that the drain pump, and the main hose from the tub to the pump are clear of obstructions.
Remove any foreign objects, and re-assemble the hoses to the pump to the machine, and the drain hose to the domestic plumbing.
Plug the machine into the mains power, and and set the machine to run on the "last rinse" and "spin" cycles and test to see if the problem has been rectified.
Possible that the cut off to the Inlet valve has failed which means that the controller unit is a suspect. Also if the inlet valve is staying ON even when the power is cut off , then it is a case of inlet valve failure.
Have you tried to tilt the washer? When I tilted my washer 15 - 30 degrees and then I could open the lid. My problem was that I had a clogged filter I have not seen before.
I just fixed this very same problem. The capacitors are
the problem. However, I think that if you have some minimal skills with
soldering, you can fix this yourself. You just need to take out the
system board, then the power supply parts are on the top right. The bad
capacitor(s) will be bulging at the top and possibly have some brown
stuff coming out. The ones that go bad are 1000microfarad, 10V, however
you can replace them with higher voltage. I got 35V caps from radio
shack for 1.59 each. You just need to solder out the bad ones and then
put the new ones in and solder. Remember that the negative end goes on
the side with the bold black part of the circle on the system board.
Then just cut off the extra ends of the capacitors. If you are capable
of doing this yourself, you will spend at most 6 dollars instead of
however much a technician costs.
