Might be that the washer in the tap needs replaceing...or the steam seal or the packing. It has nothing to do with the washer but with the supply line UNLESS the washer is plumed direct in which case you have the same issues only inside the washer where the water line attaches.
You are talking about a couple dollars worth of parts....more like a dollar.

Your fill valve is possibly defective. This is the electrically operated valve that the washer hose connects to inside the washer. There is one for hot and one for cold. Replacement involves taking the top off the washer, removing the old valve and replacing with the new one.
Sometimes, the screens inside these valves will allow particles (from your water supply) to get into the valve assembly. I have successfully cleared these before by removing the valve and blowing air through it to clear the particles. If you are going to have the washer apart anyway, go ahead and replace the valve.

Your washer solenoid valve that turns the water on and off needs to be replaced. It would be cheaper to have a repair man fix it then to buy a new washer, assuming everything else is ok with your washer.

Replace the water fill valve -- not closing shut completely probably due to dirt(?) inside preventing it. You can always close the hot and cold water valves when you are not using the washer until you can repair it.
