The pressure switch triggers the water to shut off...when I was getting my LH code the washer filled up to showing 2-3 inches thru the door glass in the wash cycles, now I know it should have like 2-3 inches in the bottom of the tub, not up the door glass, good thing the washer shut itself off and started beeping and flashed the LH code as I was not home at the time...that would have been a nice flood. However after I cancelled the cycle, put it into drain and spin and started running tests to see what was happening, it would keep filling till I cancelled in wash but would shut off in rinse and spin at the proper level, is how I got that load done and ready for the dryer as had to get the soap out of the load. The pressure switch has the "suds" contacts, "full" contacts and "over filled" contacts. It reads the "load" to determine how much water is needed for the wash cycles, but it fills to a preset level for rinse. If you are getting too much water for wash but it shuts off just fine for rinse suspect that pressure switch or hose. When I was doing my testing it would not show a reading between the full and overfill contacts with water up the door glass, letting it sit I would go back and there would be a reading thru the contacts, so we figured there was an air leak somewhere in the system but I could see nothing wrong with the hose either. Since I am 5' 4" tall and had to move my duet out and work on it myself, and move it back after I got it fixed I decided to replace the pressure switch and hose both so I could get it done, put back together, moved back into position and it is on a pedistal, since I was to have surgery the following week which would not allow me to do any heavy moving and lifting. Replacing both fixed the washer and I am pleased to have it so simple to repair and figure out. We can hope yours is also...
