Leak when waher is filling up with water
First thing to check is the discharge pump inlet hose from underneath the tub to the pump. This frequently vibrates loose enough to allow water to leak out as tub water level increases. Also, this hose may have rubbed against something for some time and developed a hole at the rub point, resulting in a leak. If you are good with a tire patch, you might be able to seal the hole and avoid the cost of a new hose. Make sure the hose is insulated from or pulled away from the rub point to avoid a recurrence of the leak later.
The next most frequent leak point is at the mixing valve at the water inlet where the hot and cold water is channeled into the tub fill. Loose connections or a cracked valve housing will leak water.

water can leak from the other valve while filling up if you dont have the hose on it,if you blank the valve off with a nut and tail with a coin and rubber washer in it that will fix your problem.hope this helps.

Does it fill when the machine is powered down?
If it does then the fill valve is stuck open and needs replacing
If it does not then you need to check the pressure switch and the air bell on the outer drum which probably has a ball of jellyfied soap in it.
If you take the back off you will see a thin plastic or rubber hose going from the bottom of the drum to a small flying saucer type object.
If you pull the hose off the bottom connection and blow into it you should hear a clicking noise from the pressure switch.
If it clicks then clean out the air bell and refit the hose .
If it does not click then get a new pressure switch
A repairman would test it live but that is not recommended for untrained people
