Hello. Do you have a well or are you connected to city water? That error code means no water is getting into the washer--the clue is the COLD side. If you are on a well, sand, sediment, debris, is NOTORIOUS for clogging up the inlet cold water screen. Turn off the cold water. Get a towel to place underneath the cold hose as you disconnect it from the washer. Using a flashlight, look at the metal/plastic screen. Is it clogged with dirt/sand or whatever? If so, there is your problem--CAREFULLY, using pliers, pull the screen out and wash it out if it's plastic. If it's made of a fine wire mesh, VERY CAREFULLY use a tweezers or dental probe to gently work it back out--take your time and DON'T RIP IT! Now, if the screen is clean, then suspect a defective cold water valve--you will have to remove the top cover, and locate the cold water valve. You will need a voltage/ohm meter set to AC volts. When activated, there should be 120v at the coil of the valve to open it. If there *is* voltage, then the valve is bad. If there isn't, you've got a broken wire or a defective main board. The part number for the double valve is W10212596 and the single valve is W10212598. The main board number is W10309218. The picture below shows the part of the schematic for the main control board and the connections to it from the inlet water valves. I hope I helped you!
SOURCE: hot water doesnt work, switch to warm and warm comes out.
If the cold works on cold wash but the hot don't work on hot wash . Then yes the switch is bad.give What model is it?
SOURCE: water temperature control not working
the fill hoses are backwards,,,reverse fill hoses...on the job...also your under warranty ..call for service but you can do it your self..

The inlet valve that the hoses attach too the solenoid for the hot side may be stuck closed or clogged with sediment. May need new inlet valve.
SOURCE: cold water in the rinse cycle of the washer just trickles
Sounds like cold water solenoid is not opening all the way, its easy to replace, and is found inside the wash machine where the hose connects
SOURCE: Error Code F8E1 on Whirlpool Duet
f8 is shown when the heater circuit is on with no water in.. it doesnt do it when you unplug the pressure switch because your disabling the heat protect circuit
THE BOARD IS PROBABLY FAULTY
F08 indicates pressure switch stuck on full.
Unplug the appliance from the wall socket.
Take the top off the machine.
Locate the pressure switch, you can identify it by the thin tube attached to it.
Take the tube off, blow down this tube as hard as you can to shift any blockage or restriction in the pressure chamber. Give the pressure switch a couple of good taps with the screwdriver handle.
Refit the tube and try the machine again.
If still doing it, unplug again and follow the tube down.
This end will be attached to the pressure chamber.
Take this chamber off and thoroughly clean it out, clean out the port into the tub too.
Reassemble and try again.
If after this it's still faulty you'll need to start replacing parts.
I'd suggest trying a new pressure switch first.
Failing this, if all of the above fails to resolve the problem you're possibly looking at a faulty main control board.
