It fills with water and then stops. Won't do anything after that
It is more than likely the lid switch. Most modern machines will fill with water and then wait for the lid switch. If it is bad they will just sit there.
Chances are it is a malfunctioning timer. These washers have something similar to a clockwork that gradually, slowly spins the inner workings to cause the machine to agitate, drain, spin, etc. The same type of mechanism can be found on driers and automatic dishwashers. If it is a newer machine, it may be controlled by comupter.
If you can manually spin the dial to the next action and it works, I'm guessing that is the problem. These dials to burn out, especially in older machines. Best to have it professionally diagnosed, to avoid repairing the wrong thing, and to maintain your warranty if it is still active. Best of luck!

The most likely cause for water fill temperature problems is the solenoid has burned out, usually cold first, it gets used more. Not a repairable item , easy to replace

This is commonly caused by a lid switch malfunction. If your model number is correct, the lid switch for your washer is located under the right hand side of the washer casing along the wash tub rim. The switch is activated by a small plastic piece on the washer lid (called a "lid strike") through a small hole. The switch contacts close when you shut the lid. In many cases, the lid switch either comes loose, or the lid strike breaks off. In both cases, the washer will exhibit the symptoms you describe.
Open and close the washer lid and listen for a distinctive "clicking" sound as the switch contacts close. If you cannot hear the switch, make sure the lid strike is intact and the mounting screws for the lid switch (located around the wash tub opening on the casing) are tight. Sometimes, all it takes is to tighten the lid switch screws to realign it with the lid strike. If the switch is defective, or the strike is missing, parts can be ordered on line at searspartsdirect.com. Just type in your COMPLETE model number, which can be found on a nameplate under the washer lid. The lid switch and lid strike will be listed under the "Top and Cabinet" heading.

with the machine off, turn the cycle dial around 3x very harshly, then try it again. If it works normally now, you'll need a new cycle switch soon!
SOURCE: Kenmore 70 Series washing Machine won't stop filling with water
filling and never stops and never agitates? then check level switch and hose, any hole in the clear hose to the level sw can cause this. if airtight then replace level sw.
