I turned everything off, turned the machine (only) back on to complete cycle and drain then turned water back on and it stopped like it should've the first time. What caused this to happen and what do I do to prevent this from happening again?

If you had to turn the water valves on the faucet off to stop the water then it could be a bad water valve. Click for water valve: Part Details - WHIRLPOOL Inlet water valve, part number: AP3094541 I would start with checking the pressure tube that goes from the side of the tub up to the water level switch. Check for the ends falling off, small holes or it being pinched. Check for anything that would affect the pressure between the tub and the water level switch. Click for pressure tube: Part Details - WHIRLPOOL Hose, part number: AP3598454 If that looks ok then check the water level switch, you can test it with a meter for continuity, it is in the console. Click for water level switch: Part Details - WHIRLPOOL Switch, water level, part number: AP2947148 Click for testing instructions: Testing and Replacing Water Level Switch for Whirlpool Washing Machines - RepairAve.com
