If your concern is the big valve in your home that shuts off water to your home, then the next shutoff valve is located in your front yard where your water meter is. You can shut off the water there. Look for what looks like a small manhole cover with a nut on it. Open it up, find the valve and turn it off. If it is the valve in your yard then that is the water company's problem. Only they can shut off valves further up the line to repair that one, and besides it's their equipment.
Watch to see if the water is still running or if it stopped running when the machine was unplugged. The inlet valve is defective if water continues to run after the machine is unplugged. The water level switch is defective if the water stops running when the machine is unplugged. Unplug the washing machine. Turn the shutoff valves on the cold and hot water supply lines clockwise to run off the water running to the machine. Remove the plastic end caps on the control panel on the top of the machine. Turn the screws in the sides of the panel counterclockwise using a screwdriver to remove them.
