So last night the washing machine overflowed when filling for the wash cycle. DH and I do not understand the mechanism that detects the water level as a machine is filling. There must be two components, one that can tell how much water is in the tub, and a switch that moves the machine to the next part of the cycle. Appreciate any clarification that anyone can give. BTW, its out in the barn, so at least there's no water damage, or even cleanup...

This is a Kenmore, about 5 years old. You've given enough guidance here that I'm pretty sure we can get this repaired.

Gratefully,
