One thing you can do to definitely narrow it down to an electrical problem vs the water valve is to catch it in the act, while it is filling and agitating (overflow inevitable) then simply unplug the washer.

If water continues to flow the valve is bad if the water stops once you unplug the washer you have an electrical issue as in main control or water level control.

There are a lot of odd things going on that seem like that have to be a control issue but I didn’t read the part (or missed it) where you proved the water valve stops running water when power is removed from the valve which is what the test I suggest will do.

However you have to catch it in the act because water valves are notorious for intermittently sticking so if you just randomly do the test you may not prove anything.

I went ajead and opened hot water. Put it on medium load and let it fill. This time.with lid closed it filled. Right as it went into agitation mode the water stopped pouring?? Wow, so it all this was due to washer being all confused because there was no hot water?? Lol. Well, hope it continues to work fine. Left water on all night, both hot n cold and no leaks so that would.totally.eliminate the water valve problem, I think. Thanks

Yeah, I hear ya. To make it more odd is that it has worked fine in small load mode, so only had been having this overflow issue on medium and higher loads.
