When a residential washing machine continuously takes in water and overflows even when the power is turned off or the appliance is unplugged, the malfunction is caused by a failing water inlet valve. The water inlet valve uses internal rubber diaphragms and electric solenoids; when mineral scale accumulation, sand, or mechanical wear prevents the internal plunger from sealing shut, water flows into the drum unchecked. You can troubleshoot water flow easily by shutting off the wall faucets. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when turning off the hot and cold supply valves stops the flooding and replacing the faulty water inlet valve assembly restores normal water level control.
