When the washer tub is filling the water also rises up the hose and the increasing pressure of the air trapped in the hose, between the water and the switch, operates the switch.
As the switch contacts operate, then when the circuit incorporating the corresponding water level selection switch (as selected by you) is closed, the water is shut off.
It may be a problem with the hose - clogged (check at the tub end), kinked, loose etc or with the switch.
I think the reason that it initially stops filling and starts agitating is that the appropriate water level has been reached but the agitation is perhaps causing the water to rise/fall a bit more in the tube which is causing it to start filling again, but this is only what I suspect and not what I know.
