I have a Maytag PAVT244AWW Performa washer that will not stop filling in auto. I have replaced pressure switch and timer, still will not stop filling, what else should I be looking at?

Does it stop in any mode.
This may help you isolate the problem.

How do you get it to stop?
Does it stop if you pull the plug?
If not then it may be a water valve sticking open.

This water level 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.
Since you have replaced it I doubt it is the problem but would double check it.
