We just followed your directions on your video, and my husband fixed the machine in 5 minutes. Thank you so much for saving us a ton of money on a washing machine repair guy. You are awesome!
Great video! I love your candid and casual demeanor... it really helps someone like me not be overwhelmed and freaked out about "getting under the hood" and possibly electrocuted! And for those few weirdos who gave you a thumbs down, I offer them a different finger "up".

+Catina Ferraine very nice. 😋
Thanks!!!!! This was the first hit when I googled, "washing machine keeps filling". You even have exactly the same machine, except that mine is the 80 series with no rinse options. I opened it up like you said, hooked the hose back up, put it back together, and it works perfectly; took maybe 2 minutes. There is no appliance repair locally so we thought we were going to have to spend $400+ on a new machine. Thank you so much for sharing this, and for your detailed explanations!!!

Robert!!!! You're a lifesaver, was on the verge of buying a new washer when I found this video. Did exactly as you suggested and the tube was indeed unattached. Plugged it back in and the washer works perfectly again. Thank you, thank you thank you!!!

Thanks, Robert. I have a Maytag... about 12 yrs old. I'm a single gal so it hasn't seen any heavy use. This just started happening recently.. where it won't stop filling. I cannot afford another washer at this time. I was so excited to find your video as I am pretty handy with minor repairs. I'll check it out and let you know!
Thank you so much! It worked like a charm on my kenmore 70 series...16 years later and still working!
Our 30-year old washer had stripped out agitator...So I found a kenmore on craigslist , looked like practically new. $20.00 , man said it would not cut off on fill and flooded his basement so he bought new one...After watching your vid , l bought it, got it home , unscrewed control panel and sure enough hose was unattached, so I reattached it , put an electrical wire tie on it for extra security...hooked up to water hose outside garage and ran it through cycle....Ran like new ...my wife is ecstatic !...Thanx so much !

Robert, you saved my day! I just came across this video and the tube disconnecting from the dial was my issue on my washer. I was going to call a repair personal but thought let me try what he is saying and sure it was. Thanks so much for these types of simple videos for dummies like me.

Wife was complaining about the washer wouldn't quit filling with water and the agitator wouldn't start. I watched your video went down to the basement and sure enough the hose was pulled off. Thanks for the video, it saved me a lot of time and effort. My machine also agitates with the lid open but the wife said it has always did that.

Robert- I know you have had this video out for awhile, but I wanted to tell you my THANKS!! Everything you said was true. The only thing is I connected the hose, but my washer was still filling up with water, so I googled some more and found Bill Newberry's video that had the other success and that was to blow into the hose several times and then do what you said and connect it back. These two things: 1. Blowing into the clear hose and 2. Connecting the hose back like you said, worked like a charm. Thank you a million times.....

Great video! My washing machine was filling with water to the point of overflowing and not going into agitate mode. I Googled for a solution and found your video, and what do you know, once I opened up the control panel, the clear hose was indeed disconnected from the wash size selector! Reconnected it and everything working fine again. I've never done this kind of repair before, thank you for the detailed step by step directions, you saved the day!

Robert, Thanks so much! I thought I'd have to do alot more. You saved my day, and I got clean close! I probably jiggled the hose loose when I had to take off the washer shroud to lubricate the dried out grease in the motor and pump bearings with wd40. That was enough to get it all running again. It was seized. I sprayed wd40 in the stator as well cause it was dry too. everything looks like a sealed bearing, but this oil set in and did the job so far. I'm about 10 loads in. Thanks Bro!

I know you did say something about the washer agitating while the lid is open, that's actually how those older Kenmore/Whirlpool washers are designed, that switch will only stop the washer when it's in the spin cycle. It's not like a Maytag or Speed Queen where it will stop all operations when the lid is open.
