When a residential washing machine continues filling with water continuously even after you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, it indicates a mechanical failure in the electric water inlet valve. The water inlet valve operates using internal rubber diaphragms and electric solenoids; when the machine is powered, electricity opens the valve, and internal springs snap it shut when power cuts. If mineral scale or mechanical wear prevents the internal plunger from sealing shut, water will keep flowing into the tub unchecked by electrical power. 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 control.
