Hi,
While I was out (naturally) my wife was doing the wash and the washer overflowed. She had a problem finding out how to stop it but finally did. We still have wet carpet but the shop vac got up most of it. First I know little about washers. I'll guess the timer is bad. If I'm correct, is the timer accessible from the front of the machine it is a 6 year old Sears (can find model numbers if needed) Secondly, I would have thought there would be some kind of safety switch to avoid such an overflow. Should there be one? My wife said she finally got it to stop by turning the dial. The cutoff valves were nearly inoperable (tight) so I will loosen the packing nut where they can be used to stop the water flow in the future. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Ken
