Possible Causes

Failed hot or cold solenoid in inlet valve, clogged inlet screen on one side, supply valve closed on one side

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the washer and turn off water before disconnecting hoses.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Check supply valves: Ensure both hot and cold faucets are fully open.
  • 2. Swap hoses test: Swap the hot and cold hoses at the back of the washer. If the problem moves (e.g., no cold becomes no hot), the issue is in the house plumbing, not the washer.
  • 3. Clean screens: Remove hoses and clean the inlet screens for the affected side.
  • 4. Replace inlet valve: If one solenoid does not open even with good pressure, replace the water inlet valve assembly.
