Simple agitator washers like this one are cheap to repair and easy to diagnose, which is why many are still in service. Lid switches, belts and valves are all inexpensive parts.
A valve that passes water when the machine is off will slowly fill the tub, and in the worst case overflow it. Close the taps whenever the washer will be unused for a while, and have the valve replaced rather than relying on the taps long term.
