Christopher K for Model Number mtw5840tw0 Washer seems to have several problems all at once. Problems began when the hot and cold suddenly reversed inside the machine. Then it just picked which it wanted and filled with hot or cold or some mix. I eventually shut the hot water off completely. Then the washer started to not progress into the spin cycle and would sit and hum. It would start if you pushed in the knob and progressed it a little further toward spin and then pulled it out again. It is now beginning to stop filling mid way through unless you slam the lid or hit the front of it. I have done extensive research and it seems it may need multiple parts all at one time. Lid switch, Water level switch and maybe a water valve itself. I check continuity on the water valve and it seemed to be okay. Could it be the timer itself? I'm at a loss as to how all of this could happen all at once. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks
Answer Christopher, The first thing to do is check the water inlet hoses and valve screens, and clear any debris that has accumulated. To solve the intermittent fill and temperature problems replace the water temperature switchWP8578335It is most likely the root cause of all your issues. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
