Replaced drive block and in the process of disassembly I pulled the water level hose from the switch and forgot to reconnect the hose after reassembly. Also since then I have replaced the lid switch like today. Water input won't shut off even when the lid is opened but machine operation stops such as spin and drain. The water level hose has been reconnected to the switch. Why won't the water input shut down at the correct level and when the lid is opened?

The water will always fill whether the lid is closed or not make sure your tube doeen't have water in it make sure when it was reassembled the tube didn't get pinched or come off at both ends and also reset the water level switch. if it has a reset on the switch do it there. it will say reset on control panel if not,,,,,,,, putting the machine in spin and running it will reset the switch. All that is happening is the water level switch isn't getting satisfied to shut the water off at the level it's set on. so it continues to fill from now until eternity and the timer won't advance until contact is made in the switch which is what puts voltage to the timer so either the switch is bad or the tubing that hooks into it is piched or has come off since the switch works off air pressure

I followed your instructions above, dialed timer to spin and it reset the switch. Washer works fine. Thanks for your help.
