AFTERTHOUGHT: Check to see if the air tube from the water lever switch is clogged, kinked, or otherwise restricted. This switch really controlls the voltage to the water inlet valve; When the switch is satisfied (by pressure related to your fill level selected), the voltage to the valve is interrupted, and the timer then takes over the operation. If there is a restriction in the tube or the air dome attached to the tub (this can be a lint clog), the switch can be tricked into "thinking" there's water in the tub. Tell us what you find.
