Washer tub will only fill on the hot setting

The washer will only fill on the top temp setting. It was working, then husband set on Hot to wash something. When I went to do the next load I set it back to cold/cold, the washer won't fill. It doesn't even hum like it is trying to get water. It will fill on hot and hot only.

Anonymous Jan 21, 2008

My washer has started to have a problem with the cold water not coming on for the rinse cycle. I will hear the machine making a electric humming noise, but when I switch the knobs to different settings to try to make the cold water come on, it doesn't work. This problem started about a month ago; after it sat for a day or so, the problem went away. But the problem is back. I am using the hot water setting right now to try and rinse a blanket. It doesn't matter where on the dial I set the cycle -- wash, rinse, extra rinse -- the cold water will not come on. I know the faucet works. That is not the problem. I bought my machine new in 2004 from Sears. It is listed as "Heavy Duty/Oversize Capacity Plus/Quiet Plus/4 Speed Select/Automatic Temperature Control/25 Cycles". It is model # (P)HAV4657EWW.

My Kenmore front loader sometimes fills with warm water on cold setting.

Most washer today use automatic temp. control fill valves. If water is too cold the control might mix in some hot to bring up to a preset temp. The same is true when control set for hot. For energy savings cold water will be mixed in to maintain a semi hot temp. Check with manufacture just to be sure.

I turn off the cold water during the fill up, and then turn it back on after it has filled. I hate this washer too because of that.

I can't get the cold water to fill the tub/rinse. the hot works.

Your problem is either a clogged COLD fill valve or a bad water fill valve. Turn the water off. Remove the COLD hose from the WASHER. Check the filter screen inside the valve for sediment. If you find sediment,remove the screen and clean it. Replace the screen and turn the water back on. If you do not find sediment on the screen,replace the water valve.

Washer is rinsing with hot wateer nomatter what temp. setting is used. I have tried to switch hoses twice now, no difference in rinse but now on correct wash temp.

The MAH5500 series washers have automatic temperature control functions so the washer can control water temp regardless of water heater settings and other factors. I would say either your definition of "hot" is not truly "hot" (over 110 degrees), or the washer's ability to sense has failed (which would also affect fill temp on "wash" fills also). If someone has worked on the washer recently, maybe they reversed the wiring to the water valves inside the machine? ATC temps are as follows: Cold 70-90, warm 90-110, and hot is unregulated at 110 degrees and up. These are normal temp ranges for ATC controlled machines, and are completely safe for fabrics.

Washer is a top load set it hot water and starts with hot and then will go cold willnot stay on hot G E Profile ,model wwa8350g

most new washers sense water temp and will try to adj final tub water temp by alternately running cold or hot as needed ..most hot settings are not faucet temp but a predetermined temp so if your hot water is 140 degrees coming in the control will switch the cold on to bring final tub water temp down to preset ..which could be as low as 100 degrees the industry's way of energy conservation
