I have a Whirlpool lcr523dq2 type 1301. The washer overflows. It
doesn't seem to sense that the tub is full, and the water keeps flowing
over the top of the tub into the bottom of the machine. Maybe a switch
or something....thanx for any help...

If that is a fairly new one the fill switch is pressure actuated and
the hose may just be off

I would tend to disagree that the hose came off the pressure switch.
I am guessing that your correct model number is LCR5232dq2, which is a
"World Washer" portable washer made by Whirlpool. Access to the
workings of this type of machine isn't very easy. You take off the 3
or 4 screws along the back that hold the top to the cabinet, about at
the level of where the power cord enters the machine. You can then
pull up on the back of the top, and slide the top forward to free it
from the cabinet. There are a number of electrical and hose
connections that reduce the ability to flip up the top and see
everything. If you are brave, you can disconnect things if you need
more access.
The reason that the hose probably didn't come off the switch is that
there are actually 2 hoses: a short one that goes from the switch to
the cover that shields the controls, and a long one that goes from the
cover to the outer tub. The former probably isn't your problem; check
the latter for chafing or breakage, or if it came off the cover, or
broke the nipple where it connects to the cover itself. You should be
able to see a visible sign of a problem with the hose.
On the other hand, if your washer fills even if you turn the machine
off, then you have a problem with the fill valve itself.

There used to be a Whirlpool Cool Line, not as fast as a hotline, but
they were great. Never told me I had to call a repairman. Went with
me once until it was fixed, and the other time until the machine had
to be scrapped. Frozen main bearing, inaccessible, because I didn't
use it for months, and it was 20 or 30 years old, but it would have
lasted if I had used it more often.
It was staffed by real repairmen, and one woman.
See if that still exists.
