Washer will overfill on small load and large

Most likely, the water level sensor is allowing the tub to overfill.

I don't think the problem is your filters. If you had clogged filters it wouldn't be filling with water, or if you had a bad water valve (not electronically opening the water valve) again it wouldn't be filling with water. I have to go through this in my own head so bear with me. :0).
The fact that the water is stopping seems like the sensor for it being filled to the desired level is OK, but having said that, have you tried setting the water level to a Small, or Medium load just to confirm the water sensor is fully functional? Now you say it had "excess water"...is it overfilling? if it's overfilling then maybe your water level sensor is malfunctioning? if you confirm the water level sensor is working at Small, Medium, Large settings where it's not overfilling, then I would look at the main cycle switch as maybe being bad. If the water levels are incorrect and it seems that may be stopping the machine from going to the next stage in the cycle, I would closer at the valves. See if you can find anything online for your particular washing machine. There are sites out there for just about anything.

the pressure switch underneath the control panel is bad it is a pressure switch and will have a plastic hose connected to it along with some wires

The water-level switch regulates your washer's fill volume. This switch is usually a diaphragm device with a small, clear tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. As the water level in the tub increases, the pressure on the air in the tube increases. When the pressure reaches a certain level, it activates the switch, shuts off the water, and signals the timer to begin the agitate cycle. If the switch is defective, it may prematurely signal the water to shut off. If so, you probably need to replace the water-level switch.

well the water is meter by the unit ,,but i can give you the read outs,,large loads 12 - 14 gallons..medium loads 10 -11 1/2 gallons small loads 9..these are tech estim...it depend on clothing being wash,,,good luck onthejob

raise top or remove front panel(can't remember which) rear corner left small hose attached to connector on tub pull and clean probably plugged up with crud also ck connection on tub

the load could be to small and all the water whats been left after the wash might be because you only need small pressure on a small wash and the pressure wont make the water evaporate. or you might just need a new drainage pipe i would put less water in next time and see if its better if not get a local self employed plumber.

Hello. Yes there is a fill level pressure switch. It is pressure activated by the pressure of water rising in a tube as the water rises in the tub.It's easy to find and easy to replace. Look for the tube and follow it to the switch. Parts for Kenmore are available at 1-800-516-9625 or at http:\www.sears.com.
Good luck.

pressure switch pipe is either blocked or damaged, the weight of the water pushes air up the pipe to activate the switch to stop the water filling, for some reason its not doing so,

this is a small thin pipe that goes from a point in the machine low down, to a little round flat object (normally) up near the top of the machine inside up near the top

drain the machine and clear out the pipe at the bottom where it joins  the drum or whatever, make sure joints are made good
if i have helped please rate me
