Each water inlet has its own filter where the hoses connect to the washing machine. Make sure that the filters are cleaned properly sometimes, these filters gets blocked if dirt or debris like rust came through the water system.
Verify water flow to BOTH hot and cold inlet valves. Dirt can plug screens and Dad sometimes turns off water, trying to save $$. BOTH inlet valves need water flow.
""Selectedd cold / cold and machine fills with hot water.""
Is your machine a FAV6800A or FAV9800A? If it's one of those I Have specific info to troubleshoot in Service Mode.
We will go into Service mode and turn on the Hot and Cold water inlet valves from the console and make sure the correct water inlet valve opens and fills the machine...........Rich
and a p/n if you need to replace the water inlet valve assembly.
Most of the front loading washers and combos have two inlets for hot and cold water which are automatically controlled according to the setting used and hence both the water inlets needs to be connected for the machine to work properly or else the machine may take more time to fill water and there is also a possibility of the machine malfunctioning. However if you don't want to use hot water you may supply cold water to the hot water inlet which will at least make sure that the machine works fine.
In case you have only one faucet for supplying water to the machine you may use a Y-connector which will allow you to connect one hose to one side of the connector and two hoses to the other side of the connector which can then be connected to the two inlets to the machine.
Hello. your fill valve is faulty and needs to be replaced.
here is how the fill valve is supposed to work:
The fill valve--which is about the size of a coffee cup--is sometimes also called a "water inlet valve." It controls the entry of hot and cold water into the machine. The valve has three major components:
A hot-water solenoid
A cold-water solenoid
A mixing valve body
The inlet valve has three hoses connected to it, for :
The hot water from the house
The cold water from the house
The water directed into the washing machine's inner tub (either hot or cold, or both) to fill it with water
When electricity flows to one or both solenoids, water flows through the valve into the washing machine's inner tub. When the electricity stops, the water also stops.
Is there a faint buzzing or humming noise coming from the water-inlet valve? (The water-inlet valve is the device on the washing machine that the fill hoses are attached to.) If you can't hear anything, the water-inlet valve may not be getting any power. If you can hear some noise and there's water present, you may need to completely replace the water-inlet valve.
