Alex for Model Number MVWC500VW1 Hi, my washer is not filling with water - when I start the cycle, it's immediately starting agitating. If I fill it manually with water it works, and drains the water, but for the rinse I have to fill it with water again. When it's spinning the cold water IS coming from the valve. And it doesn't stop at the end of the cycle - it's going on for the extra rinse, and further. I've replace the water inlet valve, but it didn't help. What is it most likely? The timer, or the temperature sensor, or pressure sensor, or anything else - the best guess?
Answer Hello Alex, The unit should not agitate until the water level has been satisfied. You may want to check your hose for the pressure switch to make sure that it is not clogged causing the unit to sense that the water level has been satisfied. If the hose or the air dome on the side of the tub are clear then you would want to replace the pressure switch W10339251. If the unit is going to the extra rinse cycle without being selected then you need to check the switch. In the off position it should not have continuity. Only continuity when closed. If closed when off then you would need to replace the extra rinse switch WPW10168262. If the switch is good then you would need to replace timer WPW10111389. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
