Question about Whirlpool AWM5104/1 Front Load Washer
Your problem sounds like a fill valve problem. This is what your fill hoses connect to on the back of your washer. It is an electric solenoid valve that is supposed to open when filling. However, sediments from hard water and well water have a tendency to clog them up to the point where they don't pass water any longer. Sometimes, the solenoid itself goes bad. A new valve usually runs about $20-$30. If you've checked your fill hoses and verified the household valves are working, then I recommend replacing the fill valve assembly in the washer. I hope this helps.

If your timer isn't running on it's own then the timer is probably bad. There's a small timer motor that runs the various switches inside the dial. When the motor goes bad the timer does not advance. The motor is not serviceable and comes as part of an entire timer assembly. The timer is usually not cheap, either (anywhere from $100 to $200) Good luck.

I have replaced the cold inlet valve so water now comes.
However the dial no longer turns on its own.
We have to manually turn the dial for each cyle within the machine, we do notice a "clicking" noise as if it is to turn the dial, but it wont turn on its own
