My whorlpool front loader has a allows water to fill the drum up when the washer is closed. the leak comes from the rubber seal where the soap is dispensed from. water runs downt the front seal, and in to the drum. after about 12 hours it fills enough to come out the front if the door is open.
The cold water valve is probably stuck open. It should open only when there is voltage across the valve. It could just be clogged inside. If you can remove it, you might be able to take it apart and clean it. Just make a note of how parts fit together as you are taking it apart. Clean all parts with old toothbrush and reassemble. Before you reinstall, connect it to a garden hose outside. No water should come out when you turn the hose on. If it still fails, just buy a new valve.
