My LG front load washer is only filling with water from the cold inlet. The hot inlet hose is warm to the touch, so I know hot water is available. What could be the cause and the fix?

SOURCE: Whirlpool ghw9100lw2 front load washer doesn't use both hot and cold

first make sure the hoses aren't reversed hot on cold or cold on hot next turn off cold water remove the hose from the washer and check to see if the screen on the washer is clogged if not get a bucket turn on cold water and see how strong the water is then let me know what you find dont rate me till we are done

You are likely using too much detergent or the detergent is not high-efficiency detergent. Change detergents and/or lower amount and this problem should go away.

The water port on the back allows air inside the tub to escape. However, if the wrong type or quantity of detergent are used, excess suds will flow from this port.

SOURCE: Only hot water will fill, cold water will not

If it is equipped with ATC automatic temp control turn it off and see if if you can get cold if so its the ATC sensor

SOURCE: Front load kenmore washer will not fill on rinse cycle

yes you should have both hot and cold hooked up. if that is not possible splice the line you have and y it into both inlets. thats not the best way to do it but will solve the imediate problem.

SOURCE: I have a kenmore elite H3 washer. The cold water

Check the inlet valve solenoid wires for resistance with an ohms meter. The cold and hot solenoids should have close to the same resistance. My washer had a weak solenoid causing the hot water valve to close after 4 or 5 seconds. While checking the solenoid wires for resistance with the ohms meter, I noticed the cold side had 51 ohms but the hot side only 8 ohms. Hope this helps.
