How can I stop my Indesit W161 overfilling with water?

Locate the pressure switch - a round item about 3 inches across. Sits under the top cover. Its an air operated switch which tells the machine water has reached the correct level. Disconnect the rubber pipe from the switch and blow down through it to clear any blockage. Switch itself may be faulty.
Also possible fault with inlet valves.
