why does my washing machine fill up with water after use?

A: If it overflows it's your pressure switch, if it just starts over it's an electrical short in your timer. knowledge of a cross tip screwdriver should be enough since the timer is the electrical doo-hickey attached to the knob you turn to select a cycle and the pressure switch has a little plastic tube attached to it (it may have just fallen off and you won't need anything!) Take the model and serial number to your local guy and tell him you need a new timer or pressure switch.
