Luck would have it Rockytopper that in my past life I was a Maytag repairman in my fathers business for 15 years. I would be happy to help guide you in the repair. Don't throw it away because of the big mess it made. We can fix it rest assured.

Probably an internal hose split or came off during the fill cycle. It kept filling because it never acheived enough water pressure to stop the fill. If it is a top loader 10 years old or older, the front comes off with two screws. You can access almost anything that it might be from there. You can call me if you want. Oh, and take Sunils advice... Replace the fill hoses with the stainless steel braid type. Good luck.
