Maytag Washing Machine - water will not shut off and overflows tub

I have an old maytag washing machine (#LAT8210AAW) which works great other than this one problem which recently surfaced. When the machine is filling with water prior start the wash cycle, it will not stop filling the tub, and is now actuallyu overflowing the tub, regardless of whether I have the load size button on small or large. Any suggestions? Thanks

This could be either a bad pressure switch, located behind the control panel. it has a small usually black hose running down to the tub. more than likely since this is an older machine the hose has become worn in one spot and is leaking air. replace the hose and that shold do it. if not its the presasure switch.

I had the same problem with our "GE Profile SensorWash" ... It would not quit filling. I took out the top 4 screws on the top of the control panel which allowed it to tip down. I saw that the pressure switch contol was on the left - it had a clear(or white) tube about the diameter of a pencil connected to the back of it. If you follow that tube down, you'll see that it connects to the lower left of the plastic tub. I simply pulled the tube from where it connects to the tub, and using my mouth, repeatedly blew and sucked into the tube several times. I could hear the switch activate each time I did this. Maybe the switch was just stuck, but for ever what reason, the machine started performing like it should! I think if it happens again, I will just replace the switch itself.

My maytag washer is overflowing and won't go into
Hello there and welcome to fixya
This is a fairly common problems on these and other machines
Water-inlet valve A defect in the water-inlet valve may mean that it's no longer able to shut off completely when the electricity has been turned off to it. If this occurs, the valve may leak and drip water into the clothes tub. In time, the water may accumulate substantially. If this happens, you need to replace the valve. Water-level switch A defect--or an obstruction--in the water-level switch may mean that it can't tell the water to shut off. So the machine overflows. This switch senses the water level in the clothes tub. It's usually a diaphragm device with a small, clear tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. As the water level in the tub increases, the pressure on the air in the tube increases. When the pressure reaches a certain level, it activates the switch, shuts off the water, and signals the timer to begin the agitate cycle. You can either clear any obstruction in the tube or replace the water-level switch.
Please feel; free to post me back any comments on repair help or testing and removal ian installation if needed ill be glad to help you ok

My maytag topload washer overfilled,
It isn't a sensor problem, it sounds more like your water level tube has pulled loose. This is attached to the outer drum itself. You can see it when you remove your front cover to the right of the outer tub. This tube uses the pressure generated from your tub water level to push air up to your water level selector, which has a rubber membrane that flexes and closes 2 contacts as the water level makes the rubber expand. If that tube is off, the water will just keep running.

In yor machine control panel you have A part called a pressure switch or water level switch. that controls the water level and tells the timer to start aggitating .If the part is bad the machine will over fill and keep running the water!!

I own a Bosch NEXXT 500 plus series washing machine. Model WFMC5301 Everything now works as it should but a few days ago It started becoming very loud and sounds like it is out of balance. I took the front off. The lower dampers and upper springs on the outer drum seem to be fine. The front of the inner drum is rubbing the front inside edge of the outer drum. The washer deflector/ baffle that attaches to the outer drum seems to be worn out. Will replacing the baffle 644226 take care of this wobble in the front by holding the front of the drum in place?
