Washing machine is not filling with water on wash or rinse cycle.
Sounds like the programme board has a fault
A very common fault on washing machines is when the program timer fails to complete the cycle and stops part way through. Many people blame the program timer for this but although it is a possible cause, there are many more likely causes for this fault. The program will stick if the heater isn't working, if the thermostat fails, if it can't fill up with cold water for the rinses, if it can't empty the water etc. There are too many possible causes of this fault to be able to give anything other than rudimentary advice. However, the common causes of a washing machine sticking that can easily be fixed are filling and emptying problems.

Kenmore Model #110 20842 990. It spins, drains, but is not filling with water on any cycle. I think I have isolated the problem to either the water control valve or the water level control/pressure switch.
It does not fill - period. Hot or cold. It does not hum. We have had both parts tested and appear to be in working order. I check the hose from the pressure switch to the tub - it is air tight. But, when I connect the hose to the tub (whatever that is on the outside of the tub that it connects to) I can blow air through the hose and also **** air through the hose. Is this supposed to be an airtight connection?
There is an electronic card under the panel, but there is no digital display - if that is what you are talking about. I had the pressure switch (load level) checked, and the water fill valve (solenoid) checked.
If you have a volt meter set for ohm/continuity do the following.
Unplug the washer from power.
Set the water temperature switch for warm wash/cold rinse.
Remove the brown/red wire and the yellow/red wire.
Test the brown/red terminal and the brown terminal for continuity on the switch.
Set the switch for hot wash/warm rinse and test the green/black and the brown/red for continuity.
If that switch checks out too your timer will be the bad part.
If the water valve and water level and water temoerature switches check out OK, that only leaves the timer contacts.
You said you had 2 switches checked out. Which 2?
P.S. There is no program board in this model.
Yes it will be one of those two parts. Sometimes both.
Does it fill if set to HOT water?
Does it hum when set to fill?
model number?
