The water won't shut off when it's filling.
Is there a sensor somewhere that says when the water is full?

while the machine is filling, unplug it. If the water stops, then its not a stuck water vavle. it's the pressure switch, or hose. take the hose off the switch, and blow thru it to make sure it's not clogged, or that it doesn't have a hole or tear in it, if thats good, I'd replace the pressure switch.

Yes, there is a sensor for water level.
What setting is it on when it won't shut off? This sensor usually works on water pressure, and first fails at high (large load), then medium, then low (small load). To isolate the water level sensor from the valve solenoid, try using a different water level.
Experience: About 15 years ago, we lived in an condo which had the apartment sized over/under washer/dryer combo. In 2+1/2 years of living there, our landlord's washer failed 2X. Came to find out from talking with the GE repairman, the model in our condo complex had a history of failing, causing the washer to overflow. (In our situation, the sensor for the highest setting would fail; we were ok if we used small and medium sized load settings).

Yes. There is a sensor it is in the control panel. Take off the control panel and make sure that the clear pipe is connected to the fill sensor. It is really common for that tube to become disconnected.

yes,all washers have a sensor of some kind that will signal time to shut off water.also ,it may be possible that one of the selenoid valves are stuck open
