The hot water valve is not working or clogged. Disconnect the washer from the power supply to avoid electric shock. Turn off the water supply and remove the hot water fill hose from the hot water valve. Check the valve for lime scale clogging and clean it. Check the flow of hot water in the hot water fill hose by placing it in a bucket and opening the hot water supply valve. Reinstall the fill hose and turn on the water supply. Proceed below if the problem is not resolved.
Disconnect the washer from the power supply. Remove the screws from the front corners of the console then lift and flip the console to the back of the washer. Disconnect the lid switch wiring harness from the body of the machine by prying the connector lock and pulling it off.
The cabinet is held on to the back panel by two retaining clips. Insert the blade of a flat-bladed screwdriver into the lip of the clip then pry back to release it. Repeat this to the other clip.
Lift the lid and grab the front rim of the cabinet. Rock the cabinet towards you and lift it all the way. You now have access to the water inlet valve. Disconnect the wiring harness from the hot water valve terminals. Measure the resistance of the solenoid coil using an analog multimeter (set it to X1). Replace the entire valve assembly (part number 285805) if the multimeter reads it open.
Remove the fill hoses and the inlet hose from the valve assembly then remove the mounting screw. Install the new valve assembly and connect the fill hoses and inlet hose. Connect the wires to the proper valve solenoid terminals. The red connector goes to the hot water valve.
To reinstall the cabinet, line up the front bottom rail of the cabinet up and under the rail on the base of the washer. Place the cabinet back into position and put the retaining clips in the slots provided on the back panel then push it down into the slots on the cabinet. Reconnect the lid switch wiring harness and put the console back into place.
