We noticed the clothes coming out of the washer were soaked. You could hear cold water running into detergent tray. 

I turned the power for the washer off, and the water stopped. When I turned it on, the water started again. 

I looked on repair clinic. There are 2 valves and a pressure switch. I had read that if I shut power off to washer, if it was a bad valve, water would continue to run. Ours stops. 

Would it most likely be the pressure switch then?

 Thanks very much 

Dave

When you say shut off power to the washer, do you mean turn off the power at the user interface or do you mean remove the plug from the wall? Do you know which valve is leaking, hot or cold? I would lay eyes on the valves themselves and I would check the wiring to each of the valves to ensure that you don't have one with worn or broken insulation grounding out causing your issue before you change the control board. Not to suggest that the control board isn't at fault, I just like to dot my i's and cross my t's before replacing electronics.

I turned off the machine by pressing the power button on the user interface. The water stopped running. I then turned off the water to allow the machine to spin and get the clothes out. After it counted down to 0, I turned the water back on, and it seemed normal again. Wasn’t filling inappropriately.
