When starting to fill the washer overflows out of the top onto the floor. What could this be and how is it fixed?

Here are your parts Replacement parts for Roper RAB4232EW1 WASHER | AppliancePartsPros.comCould be the water level switch (Item12 in Section 2), This switch is actually a pressure switch. It has a tube that runs down to the bottom of the tub, as water fills the tub, air is trapped in the tube. As the water rises, the air pressure in the tube increases until it reaches the switch's set point then the switch activates turning off the water and starting the agitate. Possible problems. 1. Gunk blocking water from entering the tube. Remove the tube at the switch and blow into it to clear the plug. 2. Cracks or holes in the tube allowing the air to escape. Inspect the tube. Also check that it is tight on the switch, if not, cut off half an inch and re-seat it. 3. The switch is toast. Get a piece of tubing with the same internal diameter and attach this to the switch. Start a fill, then blow into the tube. You should be able to stop the water flow without blowing very hard. If you cannot stop it the switch is toast. Note: That you may be able to stop it by blowing into then tubing and it may still be no good as it needs too much pressure to activate the switch. So if the tubing is OK replace the switch. Looks like on your unit the switch comes with new tubing so I would replace both. Note: I am assuming that you can stop the water flow by unplugging or turning off the unit. If the only way to stop it is to shut off the taps your water valve is shot. Here is a video that may be useful. Washer Water Level Switch (part #W10337780) - How To Replace - YouTube |
