Washerwoman Just changed the water inlet valve because water was free-flowing whether machine was on or off. Now runs beautifully with hot water (warm) setting only. Will not fill or rinse in cold setting. Did I buy a defective valve or connect something wrong? I tried switching the hoses, but it works same.
Answer Hello WasherWoman. Try reversing the wires on the water valve 285805. If the water comes in on the cold valve, then the valve is fine and you have another problem. If the water does not come in with the wires reversed, you have a bad water valve. Hope this helps. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, August 16, 2011
