Good Afternoon Leonard, thank you for your inquiry! If the washer was recently installed or moved to a different location, confirm that the hoses are connected correctly. Otherwise, the unit may be experiencing a communication issue with the control not responding accordingly or have a faulty water valve. At this point, I would recommend having a service technician to diagnose the problem before investing in unnecessary parts. Experienced techs also usually warranty their labor just in case something else is the root cause of your initial problem.

We have a hot point washer. That's washing ok spins ok some times. But once machines been turned off and I come to do another load. The machine is full of wTer why???

Maybe the cold/hot water inlet valve has a faulty seat or seal that is allowing water to leak thru to washer despite the valve being closed. Probably need to replace that valve. Look at some of these links on YouTube on repairing or diagnosing water problems:

Water is cold regardless of the setting

I would check the water tempeture knob with a multimeter, u did check the water outlet hoses to see u are getting hot and cold water from them? Also if ur water inlet valve is bad it may only allow cold water or only hot water?

Why does cold water mix with the hot when the switch is set on hot

Depending on the age of the unit you may be looking at a faulty switch. Sometimes the contacts for the cold water solonoid on the switch may be fused shut and therefore you will always get cold water no mater what you select. If hot water is what you need the easy way to do this is select hot water and close the tap for the cold water until needed again. Hope this helps

The washer is set on cold/cold. The hot water faucet is turned off. The washer should not be asking for hot water because it is set to cold/cold. It asks for and received cold water. At some point...

Newer machines know the water temperature. It will mix hot water even on a cold setting if the incoming water is too cold. Detergents need a temperature of at least 60 to activate.This will only happen in the winter usually.

Maytag washer

It sounds like you have the hot and cold water lines to the washer reversed.  Try turning off the tap for the hot water then setting the washer to just cold wash and then  hot washif you get nothing on the cold and cold water when set to hot they are probably reversed.  Typically if the auto-temp control is broken you will only get hot or cold coming out on any setting.

No hot water to wash

Is the hot water hot that is coming to the washer? Are you using the correct settings on the unit? If yes to both then either the solinoid water valve is bad or the timer switch unit is bad. Try going to a totally hot water setting. While turning on the machine feel of the hot water line at the machine and see if you notice a buzz or feel a click as you turn on the machine. On this setting does water run in and is it hot or cold. If water runs and it is cold try going to a total cold setting and see if you get cold or hot water. Is this a new setup or has it been working and stopped? If new, you could have the hoses connected backward. If you get water in both hot and cold settings but cold both ways then your hot water heater is not working....let me know....
