My washing machine constantly fills with water, the only way to stop this is to switch the machine off and reset it and then drain the water out of the hose manually. Dont know where to start. Can you help?

Tracy Either pressure switch faulty or rubber hose leading to pressure switch may have worn and allows air to escape causing the switch not to recognise when machine has reached correct level. Neither are expensive or difficult to replace.
Power off at socket before attempting any repair.
