1. A method of filling a laundry treating appliance with liquid where the laundry treating appliance includes a tub, a drum located within the tub and at least partially defining a treating chamber in which laundry may be received for treatment according to an automatic cycle of operation, and a liquid supply system for introducing liquid into one of the drum and tub, the method comprising:
supply liquid from the liquid supply system to wet a laundry load located within the drum; repeatedly determine a load inertia value while wetting the laundry load to define a set of load inertia values; determine a rate of change of the load inertia values; and stop the supply of liquid when the determined rate of change satisfies a predetermined threshold.
