If there is water leaking into the washer tub, try turning off the taps that the washer’s hot and cold hoses are connected to and check if there is water in the tub in the morning.
''If there isn’t'' any water in the tub, you have a leaking water inlet solenoid valve in the washer. They cannot be repaired, they have to be replaced
To prove which one it is, either the hot or the cold solenoid valve, close one tap at a time and then check a bit later for any water leak in the tub to prove whether it is the hot or the cold water inlet that is the problem.
What is the make and model number of the washer?
You can search online for ''(insert washer make and model number) parts'' to get results for suppliers so that you know how much a replacement solenoid valve is.
Some suppliers even have videos on how to install them.

You may also wish to check the hose filters in case they are broken and allowing grit etc to enter the solenoid and possibly preventing it from sealing properly when closed.

The filters are located at the end of the hoses where they screw into the machine.
