So our washer decided it wants to fill up its basket with water when it is not turned on. I could hear water going into the machine back by the water inlets on the back panel. I shut the water supply off and I could not hear it. So somewhere water is has found a way to get into the basket. Has anyone had this happen? Is there a seal that has gone bad? Maybe a filter that needs to be cleaned? I am heading down to investigate it now but wanted to hear what others have to say.

Thanks in advance! -Bob

Thanks Gene! After actually taking the lid off the washer and looking at it, that is pretty much what I thought. I did a search on here too and found that came up a lot. It is nice to hear someone else say that yeah that is probably what it is. I will get a new one and replace it, and report back on the outcome!

Just for reference sake... model No. 110.42932200. Part No. 8181694 (per machine parts manual) - Inlet Valve

FYI This is my first attempt at fixing a major appliance in my house, so it was a nice learning experience.
