Maytag MVWP586GW Issues after 7 months

So today I noticed the Power / Rinse / Done lights were lit solid, machine had halted mid cycle.

Some searching lead me to various resources which indicate which error code is being displayed based on the lights you see, only thing - what I've found doesn't match up with what's happening. (Everything I found said this is a drain error, and that's clearly not what's going on.)

On starting a load with temp set to cold, only the faintest trickle of water comes in, suggesting the mixing valve is toast. Additionally, even after cutting power to the machine, water continues to flow at a trickle out of the valve into the tub, indicating it isn't properly closing either, so had to shut off water supply to the washer.

Tried to "run" it again in order to recreate the error code seen earlier, only for it to trickle for a bit and then out of nowhere drain pump turns on and can't be shut off, had to unplug it.

Any ideas? Or just a general purpose wondering if this is becoming a more common failure point?

Also, I did unhook everything and check thoroughly to make sure it wasn't just random goop clogging up the inlet - definitely not that, they're both squeaky clean.
