Toilet / washing machine / high water pressure

The problem is: whenever my washing machine calls for hot water, the
toilet in my master bathroom runs. I've trouble-shot this situarion
and found out that this toilet's water suppy is plumbed off the run to
the water heater (as is our 1/2 bath). The water runs in the toilet
only when the washing machine calls for hot - but no other appliance.
(I.E. - the dishwasher doesn't make it run...and normal faucet/bathtub
use doesn't either)
Because the secondary toilet doesn't run when this happens, I'm
assuming that the valve/flush mechanism in the main toilet is
bad/aging.
ANy ideas????
You're right on target; replace the toilet ballcock (fill valve).
