I have a HE3t it works ok but I have to take the laundry out as soon as the wash is complete (after the spin cycle). If I don't water drains back into the machine. The next time that I do a wash I find that it is fill of water again. The water is coming from somewhere. Can you help?

Water Inlet Valve
Try shutting off power to the washer while the machine is filling with water. If the washer continues to fill with water even when it is not getting power, this indicates that the water inlet valve is defective. If the water inlet valve is defective, replace it.
Low Water Pressure from House Supply
The water pressure to the water inlet valve might be too low. The water inlet valve requires a minimum of 20 psi to shut off properly. If the water inlet valve does not get enough pressure, the valve may not close fully after the power is shut off. As a result, water can leak into the washer and cause it to overflow. Check the water pressure to determine if it is sufficient.

@woodhaven download the SM from the bottom of this page Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine. Page 39 and on will show you how to test the components including the water inlet valves. The easiest way would be to close the water supply faucet where the hoses from the washer connect to. If that stops the drum from filling you will know it is the inlet valve that is leaking.
