Simpson Esprit 650 6.5kg Washing machine, top load. Doesn't accept cold water when set to cold. When switch pulled to on at beginning of cycle the agitator activates sometimes and not others. Same with the spin cycle.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Misc category to a better one

There is normally two reasons for this.

Turn off the water. Remove the hoses from the back of the machine and you will see a small metal gauze filter. They get blocked with limescale and debris from the water mains. You can clean them, descale them, or just buy new ones.

Or

The water inlet valve is not opening fully.

the forward reversing unit is faulty

Hi if it's draining out on your floor you have a split hose, very easy to fix just put your washing machine forward(turned off)and lay it on a towel, Look underneath and you should see the split hose..... Good luck....

Check the interlock tab (upright models) or the hinge or latch switch (front-load.) Sometimes these switches break or simply come loose.

Normally, you would push in on the knob to set to a cycle then pull out on knob to start machine. Am i correct? So when you push in to set the cycle it just spins?

you can pick up a Y adaptor from a hardware store and fit a cold feed to both, it will take a few more minutes to comlpete cycles thats all, all new machines are fitted with a cold feed only to make them more energy efficent. the tech is talking pi**
