Only hot water will fill, cold water will not

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!

your machine has a fill problem either your screen is pluged on the water hose either hot or cold or your water is turned off.

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.

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

by "fill up " I take it you have no fill.

If it partialy fills it is the water level switch

If you get hot or cold the hot or cold coil may be faulty

if you get no fill at all- and it spins - it may be timer

Change the water valve again ,you most likely got a bad one.The odds of there being no cold water after a new valve is almost impossible.You can test the valve to make sure its working before you go to buy another one.

check out the hot water tap is on then check out the hot water valve for continuity (poss 27 ohms) then check for blockages in the small inline filter at the valve.

cold water valve in back could be plugged causing longer fill times.
