Jesse V. April 25, 2012 for Model Number mvwc300vwi Water on cold selecton not filling works only warm or hot selection.
1 Answer Hello Jesse. You will need to test and see if there is power coming to the cold water valve when the unit is calling for cold water. If so, and no water come into the unit, you will need to replace the water valve WPW10144820. 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...
Vik February 25, 2012 for Model Number atw4475vq0 I have an Admiral washer. It wasnt all the way when it hit to raince cicle it stopt and nat working now i tryde to restart but nathing i pull the knob for cicle it maks noise this is it no smoke every thing looks good
1 Answer Hi Vik. Usually when the washer fills washes then stops at rinse, it is waiting for the cold fill from the water valve part # WPW10144820. Remove the cold fill hose and flush out into a bucket. Look into the valve inlet screen to see if it is clogged w/ debris's blocking the old water entry. Some units will wash with the lid up but will stop at the rinse cycle because the lid switch part # WP8318084 needs replaced. Thank You. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Petie. You will need to remove the screws in the back corners of the control panel. Then pull the control panel forward and flip it backwards. Pull the knob off the switch on the control panel. Next release the tab on the switch and twist the switch to remove the switch from the control panel. Install the new switch WPW10184148 in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
John September 21, 2011 for Model Number RTW4440VQ2 Until recently the warm/cold setting resulted in warm water flowing into the drum with short, periodic ammounts of cold. Now it runs warm water into the drum for about 30 seconds, then switches to cold until the selected water level is reached. What would cause this?
1 Answer Hello John. It sounds like the thermistor, made into the water valve WPW10144820, is bad and the water valve will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Steven M. August 14, 2011 for Model Number Admiral ATW4475TQO Admiral washing machine temp selector put on cold cold setting tub fills up about 3/4 with cold and then switches to very hot the last 1/4. Turned off the hot water faucet and tub would only fill the 3/4 with cold and stop and not fill the last 1/4.
1 Answer Steven, You're on track, Yes replace the ATC switch, Your issue would indicate a weak circuit inside the switch circuit board. You should be fine from there. Thanks and Good Luck. Read More...
Kevin July 02, 2011 for Model Number ATW4475VQO The cold and hot water connections are correct. Cold water is freely flowing as should be. Are there other options from here?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. If the water valve has 120 volts to the cold side, and the unit is not filling, it sounds like the valve WPW10144820 is not opening. Try testing across the white wire to ground and the yellow/red wire to ground, at the valve, and see if there is a voltage reading at the valve. Do not test across the two wires, test them to ground. Hope this helps. Read More...
Kevin July 02, 2011 for Model Number ATW4475VQO The white and yellow cold water inlet wires show adequate voltage. What is next if any option?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. Check and make sure the water supply is working into a bucket. Also check and make sure the hoses are not reversed on the valve. Hope this helps. Read More...
Kevin July 02, 2011 for Model Number ATW4475VQO The white and red/yellow wires show 120 volts when tested. Does this indicate power from the water inlet valve to that point? What is next?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. Now you will need to test the wire connection at the cold valve and see if there is 120 volts there. If so, make sure the water supply is working properly. If not, you will need to trace from the switch and see where your loosing voltage at. Hope this helps. Read More...
Kevin July 02, 2011 for Model Number ATW4475VQO I am a novice with a muti meter. Do I remove enough wire covering to check the exposed wiring? Also is this with or without the machine being plugged in?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. You will not need to remove any wire. You can test from the back of the plug at the ATC switch. Insert the leads of the meter, red into yellow/red wire and black into white wire, and look for 120 volts. The machine will need to be pluged in for this test. Be careful, you are dealing with live power inside the control panel. Look at this link on how to use a multi-meter. It has very good advise. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Kevin July 02, 2011 for Model Number ATW4475VQO I have an Admiral washer that fills and washes in hot only even when set on cold or cool wash/rinse positions. I replaced the Temp Switch, Water Inlet Valve, and Timer in an effort to resolve the problem. The washer will not fill on the 3 cold/cool settings with the new Temp Switch, yet will with the old Temp Switch. Can you offer any viable advice?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. According to the wiring diagram, yellow/red is the hot wire for the cold water valve. You will need to test and see if you have power across the white wire and the yellow/red wire at the ATC switch WPW10184148 with the unit on a cold fill. If so, you will need to look and see if there is a broken or burnt wire or trace and see where your loosing the power to the valve at. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
