Chosen Solution
I have this Kenmore wash machine. I have hot water & I have cold water. Checked hot/cold incoming, replaced inlet valve assembly, ran water through hoses, hot & cold. Also replaced temperature selector switch. I don’t know how to test control boards. Pretty pricey. Running out of stuff to check / replace
– Be sure the hot water heater in your home is operating and other faucets are getting hot water – If no hot water, check water heater.– Make sure you have the hot water valve OPEN that supplies HOT water to the washer – Located behind the washer.– Check to be sure the hot water inlet hose is not clogged – If it is, no hot water can enter washer.– Examine the hose mesh filters that go in between the hoses and the washer – Mesh filters can clog and restrict water flow.– Take rear panel off washer and examine wiring to and from the water inlet valve – Connect any loose wires wire harnesses – Replace any damaged wiring.– water inlet valve is in working order – Check for blockages– Check for a possible fault where the hot water solenoid IS AT FAULT therefore no hot water enters the washer and the water inlet valve needs replaced.– Check the timer/heater mechanism (that sets the hot water for the washer) and be sure no loose or damaged wires are found. Since you are having timer problems as stated on another question, I would go here first
Mine is doing the same thing, and the person answering above did not even read the question. There is. Flow of hot water into the washing machine into the tub, but only when choosing the hot only setting. Same thing for the cold only setting. However when you choose warm or cool setting, only cold water comes out. It cannot be the solenoid because obviously the song ladies opening and hot water is going into the tub, as well as cold water, but only on the hot only setting or cold only setting. Therefore it’s something in the controls that is not sending voltage to open both hot and cold at the same time. I imagine that warm would have been simple to accomplish by simply turning on hot and cold at the same time but since this machine also has a “cool” setting, they must be using something more complicated like a timer to cycle the hot water on and off while the cold is fully on, to achieve the cool setting. Anyone else had this problem and know the solution? It’s obviously something in the controls sending voltage to the solenoids, but the original post said he changed the hot cold warm selector switch. Is there a circuit board in this machine?
