Cold water will not turn off just runs slow

I have to turn the cold water off from the spout, it just runs weather I turn it to a setting or not. The water just trickles, sometimes the the cold water runs correctly but you never know when it will happen.

The problem is with the solenoid valve which is located behind the machine and provides the connections to the water supply. One side is labled H for hot and C for cold. If you were to reverse the hoses the result would be an intermittent problem with the hot water supply.
The needle valve somtimes becomes stuck in the open or closed position causing the symptom you are describing.
Replacement of the water fill solenoid valve is recommended.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Hot water is very slow coming out spout. Cold water comes out fine with good pressure..

the anti scald is adjusted too low. its located under/behind the handle. it usually has am allen wrench head. remove the handle and adjust it all the all the way to hot that should fix it. on some models you can remove the entire thing,but on some that will cause the handle turn 360deg because in some models its also the stopping point of the handle. hope this helps

I turn on the spout for my tub and i turn the dial for my shower head to come on and it does, no problem, the shower head shoots water at full force, great water pressure, but there is still water coming...

I would look into the spout being the issue. The spout is a bypass when the shower is on and yours seems to be letting water get through. I would replace the spout..

Water pressure became slow after less than 6 months of a new Moen Kitchen. Faucet some calcium build. Pressure is the same with both hot and cold running. Makes me think it is the faucet.

It is probably a clogged airator. If the faucet is the type where the spout is attatched to a hose there may be a screen where the hose attaches to the spout. with the spout off check the flow through the hose. If the flow at the hose is good then the problem is in the spout. Most of the time it is in the spout. you can replace just the spout if you cannot find a screen or airator to clean.

Did it work before this?
Sometimes hard water can build up and cause blockages.
Try mixing hot water and white vinegar (50/50 mix) and try running it through the machine. If this works, run it through a few more times than run cold water through a couple times to get rid of the vinegar.
Good Luck.

Slow water run for cold water

slow water run could be caused by the filter on the cold water hose is clogged by granite or mineral deposits
1. turn off the water to the cold hose
2. drain water out of hose and detach from washer
3. get a water spray bottle and set to strong stream not spray,
spray the filter that goes into the machine, this should clean out the debris that is clogging the line hold a small container to catch water when you spray if you see black specks it granite
4. after it runs clear reattach hose and turn the cold water back on that should solve your problem, it did the trick for me
