✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• No cold water enters the washer while other fill functions operate.
• Washer takes unusually long to fill.
• Cold-water flow continues after the washer is turned off or the cycle ends.
• Water may leak through the valve when the cold-water supply is open.

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the cold-water faucet is fully open and the cold inlet hose is not kinked.
• With power disconnected, inspect the cold hose connection and valve area for visible leakage or damage.
• Flush the cold-water hose into a bucket briefly to check for restricted supply or debris before reconnecting it.
• Inspect the valve inlet screen for visible sediment or blockage without removing or damaging the screen.
• If the valve appears functional, check the washer's stored diagnostic codes or service procedure before condemning the valve, since wiring and control faults can produce similar symptoms.
