Maytag neptune front loader, model# MAH4000AWW PROBLEM: Water will not fill. First hot stopped working a few months ago, then cold also stopped. We live a long way from nearest repairman, so have put this off until it could no longer be ignored.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

This is symptomatic of a malfunctioning (not closing completely) water control valve- the hot water one, if the washer is hot and cold fill, and the cold one if it is just cold fill!
Take all power off the washer then turn one or the other off and see which one is causing the problem. Sorry but it needs replacing. If it only happens when there is power supplied to the washer, a service call is required to confirm that it is not something else- like the control board not feeding the correct voltage to the valve ;-0(

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
John C

Hi,

It is very possible for it to be a valve failur as these machines have a temperature control incommon, It recieves voltatge through the temp control.

Check pump / outlet filter , refer to instruction book , clean and replace then re- try

two problems here,
your shaft seal is running on its last leg
the sound is unmistakeable and always described the same...
the water issue, you probably have a trickle leak through the cold water valve
the mixing valve is quite an easy repair, but I would have to say with all honesty, it probably time for a new machine
the hub seal is a tub replacment call
2 hrs of labor if hes good
and the tub runs around 500.00 dollars
sory for the bad news

replace the valve

check the following
power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet
the inicator on the cycle conrol knob proprely lined up with a cycle? turn the knob to the right slightly then pull the knob

are you using a extention cord if so dont

washer overloaded

Check for low water pressure. Clear screens in inlet valve. Do-not remove screens. This unit will turn off if not filled in specified time.

Sounds like you have an intermittent problem with the board or one of the on board switches.
