My Kenmore HE3 is filling up with water when not being used. Water seems to be dripping where the soap dispenser tray is. How can I fix this?
One or both of the water inlet solenoids is leaking water while the power is off. Open the top to remove the solenoids and also check the soap dispenser problem. Water may be leaking from there if an internal water hose is spraying water into the dispenser. Check your water supply hoses from the faucets to see if they have screens in the ends. You may or may not be able to clean the interiors of the solenoid valves---if not, replace them. Good luck!

You need to replace the water inlet valve. It isn't closing completely when the machine turns off.
However, if the hoses to the back of the washer have their own cutoff, turning them off when you are done will fix it too... you just have to be there when the machine stops.
