Problem Solved - left thread below if it can help someone…
Washer was found running overnite stuck in Wash cycle.
Unplugged machine for 30 minutes. Tried to start a new load, but it goes straight to Wash cycle - doesn’t even try to fill…
Did the washer reset routine by opening/closing lid as well.
Tried Drain and Spin cycle only, that seemed to work, but then it went BACK to Wash cycle. Never goes to fill cycle at all.
I did the Field Service Code diagnostic:
Position 2 - no code
Position 3 - initially last nite it did not show a code, now shows Code indicating NO PUMP ERROR.
Position 4 - get the LED lights, but nothing happens, no water flows.
Position 5 - same as Position 4 - get LED lights, but no water flows.
Positions 6-9 - get LED lights and functions appear to work.
Note - there is maybe 1/2 inch of water in bottom of the plastic tub assembly (saw it from outside when I opened front panel).
Checked LED on motor when unit was plugged in, but not running a cycle. Got the 1-second on/1 second off which appears to be normal per the Technician Guide.
Assume its bad Pump? Could something be stuck in pump?
Also read something about a pressure sensor line could cause issues like this.
Argh…

Errr.CORRECTION - Error Code was on Position 2, not 3. Thermistor…
UPDATE - checked Thermistor resistance - 75K ohms at room temp, service manual states 50K ohms. Could this be the issue?
ALSO, Inlet valve has 1K ohm of resist for both solenoids.
I then plugged in machine, hit start button - of course it went straight to Wash cycle. I checked voltage on Solenoid - no voltage - assume that since its in Wash cycle, it wouldn’t get charged hence opening the valve.
Maybe it’s the control board…sigh…
UPDATE 2 - Pressure Switch - not getting continuity, or at least seemed sporadic…i cleaned the terminals with sandpaper - now have good consistent continuity. Washer filling up - seems to work…for now..
UPDATE 2A…Washer works and went thru a whole cycle. I did blow thru the pressure tube, but it seemed clear. as was the box connecting to the tub. I think it was simply some residual layer of oxidation maybe on the Pressure Switch terminal connectors - after sanding them bright - we have proper continuity and all appears well…odd…
