My LG front load washer works like a charm, however every 10-15 loads or so it overfills. The water level in the washer will rise all the way to the top of the viewing window, and eventually overwhelms the door seal. Each time this has happened my wife and I have been stuck cleaning up apx 35 gallons of water. In between episodes the washer works great, the pump works, and the drain hose works. I have checked the filter, the sump, and the door seal/gasket all of which appear to be in fine shape. I suspect the appliance has a sensor that should be kicking in and preventing sooooo much water from filling the washer. Any suggestions?

Hi. I was unable to look up your model number. Please check your model number. It should be located on the washer after you open the door. You washer has a water level switch that detects the water level in the washer through an air pressure hose. The washer may also have a flow meter and detects how much water is entering the unit. The control board then interprets this info from theses parts. Any of these parts could be faulty. I will be able to look up more info with the model number.
