A GE Convertible Dishwasher - essentially a portable that's been set

happen no matter where the timer is set. It happens whether the
washer is plugged in or not, and whether the door is latched or open.
I can succesfully pump water out by advancing the timer to the drain
cycle.

I suspect the inlet valve as described he

I've found valves for sale online that appear to be the same or
close. These run about $30. I'm tempted to order one and try it.
I'm sure the wife would prefer a new machine.

Any other theories as to what's wrong? Suggestions as to how to
proceed?

If this happens with it unplugged, it's 99% sure you've located the culprit.
