Liketofixitmyself January 14, 2012 for Model Number 110.44832202 Kenmore Elite H3 I replaced this valve (easy to replace - the top of the washer comes right off with just a few screws), but it did not fix the problem. The washer still seems to think every load needs to be washed in hot. Any other suggestions? I am putting my original question here too."My washer only fills with hot water in the wash cycle, no matter the setting. The hoses are not switched, and the cold rinse cycle still tries to draw from the cold tap only. If I put the "hot" hose on the cold tap I can run a load in cold water. The cold rinse cycle draws only from the cold hose, so I have to switch the hoses back again. Is this the right part to fix this?"
1 Answer Liketofixitmyself, I wouldn't expect the fill valve to be the issue, until you varify the fill valve solenoid has a resistance reading (500 to 1000 ohms) and you have voltage (120 vac) to the cold solenoid from the control assembly(CCU). But the fill valve is a very good place to start. Good Luck and Thanks Read More... Safety note: testing, adjusting or bypassing anything while the appliance has power is a job for a qualified technician. Unplug it before you open it up, and keep it unplugged until every panel is back on.

Jeff A. December 19, 2011 for Model Number whirlpool ultimate care 2 washing machine Washer will not fill with water. If I fill the washer with water and move the timer to wash the washer will wash and drain and spin. I can fill it again for the rinse cycle then it will spin fine. The only thing it will not do is fill with water. The timer switch runs once I move it to wash or spin. Once it gets to a cycle that fills with water, it just stops. Are my cylinoids on the intake vavle bad? Could it be the timer switch? I'm leaning towards the intake since the timer at least works on some of the cycles.

Miketc December 17, 2011 for Model Number GHW9100LW1 After wash with normal load, cloths come out wetter than normal and need to go thru another Rinse/Spin cycle to dry. Everything else seems to be normal and no code messages. Could this be a bad water Inlet Valve? Is replacement water intlet valve P/N AP3128776?
1 Answer Hi Mike. Start the washer on a regular wash cycle. While filling remove the power or un plug the unit. If you can see the basket filling with water still, then this is one quick way to see if you have a bad water valve part # WP8181694. I suspect 2-common items. Make sure at least 4-1/2" and no more of drain hose is in the drain pipe. Then remove the lower panel. Get a dozen towels or a wet vac. ready to pick up a lot of water. Then remove the sump hose going to the pump intake back hose. Make sure it is clear. There is a trap you can unscrew and see if it is clogged. Reach inside the pump and if the impeller is loose spinning freely on the shaft, then you wont get a pressurized full pump out. It is part # 280187. Thank You. Read More...

Carl October 21, 2011 for Model Number 11045081400 Sears Machine flashes F/H. checked water lines,changed out Water level Pressure Switch still flashes F/H Is there any chance that replacing Whirlpool P/N AP 3128776 (Sears P/N 8181694) may resolve this problem?
1 Answer Carl, Yes, the fill valve could be the issue,but. The "FH" code indicates the CCU (control board) is NOT seeing the water level switch circuit change positions WPW10514214 , You may want to disconnect the air tube from the switch and blow into it to see if there may be an obstruction in the tube, etc. and you can check for the washer to fill with the hose off the switch.

Guest October 02, 2011 for Model Number GHW9400PW0 Getting FH error code when any cold water is called for at any point in cycle. Seems ok with all warm cycles. Cold water is getting into washer (although not sure if at fast enough rate). Drain phase seems to be noisier than normal. Question is: is it a water valve issue or drain issue? thank you in advance
1 Answer Guest, You've most likely have two issues, A slow cold water fill, and a noisy or defective drain pump. You should check and clean the debris screens in the cold water fill hose and inlet valve. and replace the pump 280187 both components could produce the "FH" code. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
