Kenmore "direct drive" transmission clothes washer.
Was set on cold water wash. It had finished washing and finished first spin and was filling for rinse cycle when it reached about half-full tub point and all of a sudden water was all over the floor.
Turned it to off, it didn't stop the water, which was still pouring into a half-full tub. Pulled out electric plug, still didn't stop the water.
Turned off water supply and bailed out the tub.
Any clues to what it might be before I open it up?
