My 6 1/2 year-old Kenmore top-load washer will not fill with cold water. When I choose warm, I get hot. When I choose cold, it just hums. I have taken off the cold water line and run hot water through it to check for obstructions, and I have cleaned the screen of debris that leads into the washer from the cold water line. This happened once before, and clearing the screen solved the problem. That solution is not working now. Any other suggestions?
The problem is most likely the cold water adapter. There is a wire harness that connects to it to tell it when to turn on the water. That part is not functioning properly anymore and that is why it is humming when it tries to work. Cheap part and it can be bought at any appliance repair shop. When you take off the back panel you will see what I am talking about. I used to work for Sears as an appliance repair man and I saw this problem a lot with Kenmore washers. It's easy to fix and not very expensive. Let me know if you have any other questions.
