Ed August 25, 2015 for Model Number RAX4232KQ0 We turn the knob to cold wash but it does not do anything however you can move it to spin and it will run. Will not work on anything but spin.
1 Answer Hello Ed. You need to check the timer WP3954563 on the unit and the water valve 285805 on the unit. 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...
Rick N July 24, 2015 for Model Number GLWN2800D2W5 We have a brand new machine. The machine will not run hot water. There is a good stream of hot water to the machine. It seems that the cold water valve doesn't close and the hot water valve doesn't open all the way. Lowes replaced the machine already for the same problem. No service tech's are available in our area. What should I be looking for? Thanks
1 Answer Rick, The most likely cause for the unit not switching to hot water would be a faulty temperature control WH12X10477. Read More...
Beth July 15, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool SM 8525146-A On my Whirlpool washer the water will not stop running in, causing it to spill over. It did this last night causing a huge mess. What could the problem be?
1 Answer Hello Beth. If you can stop the water from entering the machine by turning off the timer or unplugging the unit, you will need to look for a bad pressure hose or replace the pressure switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off for the water hoses, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit. Read More...
Robert B May 31, 2015 for Model Number Lsq09010pw3 Why will the water switch from hot to cold or cold to hot without touching the tempature switch.
1 Answer Hello Robert. Your water valve WP3979346 has a thermistor and does this to regulate the proper water temperature needed for the wash cycle. Read More...

Peg March 11, 2015 for Model Number 110.26832692 I have water dripping into the drum of my washer. How do I repair this? It is dripping from the center of the back inner top of the framerwork above the drum. When the lid is lifted it seems to be just under the upper framework. It is so loud - I can hear it dripping from another room as it splashes into the metal drum.
1 Answer Hello TG. It sounds like the water valve WP8540751 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Judd D March 04, 2015 for Model Number 11029842990 I am not getting any cold water when filling my washer. I want to test the valve and make sure it is bad before replacing it. What should the ohm reading be for this model?
1 Answer Hello Judd. It is best to do a power test and not an ohms test. If there is power to the solenoid of the valve, and your not getting any water, you will need to order and replace the water valve on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
