Won't stop filling?

my Aquaviva 1000 has never gone wrong until yesterday. it,s about 17 years old! when it filled with water to do a wash it didn't stop filling and overflowed. I had to advance the dial and drain it. I've done a few test runs and the same thing happens. I had to advance it until it stopped filling but then missed the heat and wash programs. is this fixable and would it be expensive?

Good advise from mm.Also check the thin pressure switch hose as they can rub and hole which causes the same issue

no.could be the water valve or more likely the pressure system is blocked that's a little chamber the has a thin hose going to the pressure switch,remove the plug from the power socket and trace the pressure chamber remove the lid of the machine and should be able to see a round switch on shell with a tube coming from it,remove the tube from the switch and blow down it,you should be able to do this very easy if you cant then you have a blockage trace the hose till you find the chamber remove it and clean it out,if you can blow into it very easy then the pressure switch is faulty
