I've checked the fill hose from the dispenser to the tub and found no blockage. What controls the flow of water from the water inlet valve? And, what determines when the tub has enough water? Is there a water level sensor? The water inlet valve was broken from its mounting point on the back of the washer. I've ordered a replacement. Is there something else I'm missing?

When the tub fills with water it creates pressure in the hose letting the switch know there is water in the tub. With that malfunctioned water just kept filling and would not stop. The water inlet valve may be faulty if when no power applied or washer in off position the water fills, maybe some debris stuck in valve.
