Your washer is overfilling with water.

What This Means
Water is supplied continually because water level detection does not work; Drain hose is clogged causing injection error at a narrow section; Water supplied continually because of freezing or foreign material in water supply valve; Water level sensor is degraded; Water level sensor terminal is out of place
What actually causes this:
The water level sensor is not detecting how full the drum is, so water keeps flowing in without stopping.
