Question: F27 error code on Whirlpool front load washer model # WDW9470WW

Hello, During a wash cycle my front loader showed error code F27. The washer seems to keep filling with water. Tried shutting off the washer by pressing the cancel button, the washer keep filling with water. Unplugged the washer and turned off both hot and cold water, even with water off seemed to continue to fill. Finally after pressing the cancel button a few more times the washer shut off. I was able to get the washer to drain and spin, turned on the hot and cold again. After it competed the spin cycle no more running water. Now the washer seems to be ok?? Only problem is this is the 2nd time today the washer showed error F 27. The washer is 10 years old not sure if it is an service fix or a DYI type of fix. Not sure if it's worth it to have it serviced, so expensive to have a repair person come out and due to the age of the washer, may decide to replace it unless it is a DYI repair.

That problem is easily repaired and you can do it yourself. You have a failing water-level pressure switch and it needs to be replaced for sure or the washer could flood your home. It's the part the tells the control to shut off the water when it's filling. The replacement switch for your model is linked below:

Below is a video that shows how to change the switch. The washer in the video is not your model but the instructions are pretty much the same:
