Its the over fill valve blocked or its packed up on you, if you take the top of or the back and look inside the washer you will see a small thin pipe coming from the bottom of the drum to the top of the vave block pull it off and blow down it to clear any muck in it it should work after this is done

The water level switch is not being activated. Remove the top (look for screws in the control panel sides) and check for a tube that comes up from the bottom of the outer tub and has a switch module mounted at the tube top.

I HAVE A GE WASHER THAT FILLS WITH WATER AND OVERFLOWS. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SIZE LOAD, IT CONTINUES TO FILL WITH WATER AND OVERFLOWS. IT STOPS WHEN I HIT THE STOP/PAUSE BUTTON.

There is a pressure sensor that needs to be looked into. USUALLY, there is a chamber, on the outside of the washer tub, and out of the top of it is a small plastic hose. This hose runs up to an electrical switch.
Too much soap, over time, can plug up this system, so the machine has no idea how much water is going in...and keeps filling..... Sometimes the hose comes loose, but this makes a fairly immediate water leak, so I suspect something is plugged.

Set it going, fills up ok, goes through washing cycle but after spinning and then filling up for next cycle it overflows

Rather hard to understand your problem from the wording in the question but what I understand to be the case is that your tub fills up with water and overflows after the cycle is finished. Perhaps overnight water slowly fills the tub. This is due to the water inlet valve not shutting off all the way. The Inlet valve assembly needs to be replaced.

My washer will not stop filling. it will continue to fill and overflow. What do I do?

Hello there:
If your washer is overfilling, check these: Water-inlet valve A defect in the water-inlet valve may mean that it's no longer able to shut off completely when the electricity has been turned off to it. If this occurs, the valve may leak and drip water into the clothes tub. In time, the water may accumulate substantially. If this happens, you need to replace the valve. Water-level switch A defect--or an obstruction--in the water-level switch may mean that it can't tell the water to shut off. So the machine overflows. This switch senses the water level in the clothes tub. It's usually a diaphragm device with a small, clear tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. As the water level in the tub increases, the pressure on the air in the tube increases. When the pressure reaches a certain level, it activates the switch, shuts off the water, and signals the timer to begin the agitate cycle. You can either clear any obstruction in the tube or replace the water-level switch.

Wate does not shut off

If your saying , when the machine is off , the water keeps running , you need to replace the water mixing valve pt. # 285805 . If your saying , when filling , the water does not cut off , then it could be the water level switch hose came off , which is located behind the control panel , and it just needs slid back on , OR , it could be a bad water level switch ( not likely though ) .

Tub overflow

Remove the hose from the water level switch and blow air through it.
The water level switch air hose has a clog in it.

How to install the chtime wate overflow drain?

Hi huc0,

I'm Harvey the Master Plumber.

Your question is: How to install the chtime wate overflow drain?

For me it's just a mater of looking carefully at the old one and duplicating it with new. If you start this and can't finish it you'll be without the use of this fixture til you can. It's not as easy as it looks. It can be very dificult to work under the tub from the access or from underneath. You may also need some special tools. For instance a sawzall, a tub shoe tool, a 12' channel locks etc. It's not the type of repair I recomend to the average homeowner. You might consider the Repair Directory for a reparman.

My washer will not stop filling with water.

If it overflows from the tub then:
This can either be a fault in the fill sense tube( small tube connected to the bottom on the outer tub from the sensor at or near the top of the washer housing ) becoming blocked or broken or a fault with the sensor itself. This is inside of the machine and the lower cabinet will have to be opened to see it.

There should be two screws along the lower front edge of the washer cabinet. Remove these and the front of the cabinet will lift out towards you at a 45 degree angle an then unlatch. Unplug from power before opening the cabinet.

If it overfills from the drain hose:
then either the drain hose is too low and the water siphons out before it reaches the maximum or there is a tight seal at the drain hose to house drain port which will cause all the water to siphon out.
