kenmore 90 series start washing cycle, water level was set on low and yet it kept filling way beyond its point that I had to turn it off because it started to go over the buckets max fill level. I recently had this repaired, it had a broken motor coupling could the repair service had touched a water level control valve during repair, or it is that they just forgot a step in the repair process - like adjusting water level controls?

your limit switch isn't working, so the machine doesn't know when to turn off, also there is a tube on some models that become full and get an air gap that gives the machine bad info There is a pressure switch hose that is attached to an air dome. This switch tells the washer that there is water in the tub and allows the agitator to start.
- Remove the control panel and you will notice a small hose. See if it popped off of the air dome. If it did, secure it with a zip tie.
If water flow continues, but drains out immediately, then raise the drain hose above the highest water level line of the tub. Do not seal the drain hose to the discharge pipe. This could cause a siphoning action.
