Overflow Hi, My name is Greg, my hotpoint is overflowing. it dosent go thru all of its cycle, it wont wash, the tub just fill up and overflow. I pulled out some frabic that have overflowed unto the shaft because it wont spin fast. I was wondering if it have a float, or did it burn out the cycle switch, can you or someone help me or send me a break down.

water level sensor --switch -inlet valve failure ----the machine wont advance till water is at level requested so since it doesn't stop filling it wont cycle to wash -----------https://www.manua.ls/sanyo/asw-40ap/manual

Bad water pressure switch or bad water inlet valve? does it have or leak water in the tub when not in use? ( inlet valve) sometimes the pressure switch tube has a hole or blockage in it and will not have the pressure needed to open diaphram and go into wash cycle and it may overflow

it can cause a lot of rust on the metal parts of washer and could cause wires to short out

Ive never worked on a Kenmore but it may just be the overflow outlet. All washing machines have an overflow which will dump water out from the top of the tub if it overfills but sometimes on high fill water level, clothes can splash around and cause a "wave" of water to splash out over the overflow outlet. Check to see if the leak only occurs when you have selected high level fill.

The water input on washers is controlled by the timer which actuates the solenoid valves for both hot and cold water, telling them when to fill and when to close. I would run the machine thru a fill cycle with the washer back off, and with a voltmeter, observe if the voltage ever cuts off as the timer runs. I Another variable is the water level control. So also determine if that is working since if it failed to open the 'fill' circuit at the proper volume, you might have this overflow problem.

Check the inlet water solenoid.

you need to clean the pressure swith hose on the lft side of tub small rubber hose stop use in liqid soap

Remove the hose from the water level switch and blow air through it.
The water level switch air hose has a clog in it.

1. some how you have caused the pressure switch hose too come off.it is a clear vinyl tube in the upper timer console area.it is very common for it to come off.it is the water level selector switch/knob,behind is where the tube goes

The fill switch has a diaphragm that could be damaged and not closing properly. I have personally experienced this problem before. The way water could be getting by the switch (even with no power applied) is simply water pressure in the lines. I don't understand why it would work during the spin and rinse cycles, however. If you say it's not a pressure switch problem (level sensor), then I would invest in a new fill valve. I hope this helps.
