It's likely some sediment was disturbed during the valve replacement and clogged a screen in the washer valve. Turn off the water and remove the cold hose from the back of the washer. Just inside the threads you'll find a fine screen that you'll want to remove and clean (flush with water). You might also find a screen in the hose washer on the supply valve end of the hose. Check for that too.

Slow cold water flow in faucet.

Modern faucets are made to be 'Eco', so less water flow and lower water consumption.

If the water flow is a lot more on the hot side, there there is a fault with the cold. There aren't many reasons.

Stuck shut of valve. Disconnect the braided line and open the valve into a bucket.

Or the ceramic cartridge in the faucet is not correctly lined up.

Or remove the strainer on the head, they can block with debris.

My admiral atw4475xq washer, the cold water runs continously will not cut off.

There is an electric-powered water cut-off valve, usually top left - under the top of the machine - which must be stuck open; it is replaceable.

Admiral ATW4475VQD water won't fill

Does the lid switch work? With the lid closed, put the unit to spin cycle. If it spins, the switch is good and you will need to replace the water inlet valve.
Here is the switch if you need it.
Here is the water valve if you should need it.

While agitating, the washer continues to fill, then causing an over flow issue.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
This is symptomatic of a malfunctioning 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!
Sorry but it needs replacing and a service call to confirm that it is not something else ;-0(
Good luck,
John C

Slow cold water flow won't go back to full flow

I think the water inlet valve is nearly stopped up with sediment in the screen filter where the supply hose screws to the valve.Cut the water off at the hose and disconnect and look for the screen. The hot water usually doensn't do this because the water has time to settle everything out while it's in the hot water heater.

Maytag performa PAV2200 - cold water fill does not work, but hot does

Check the solenoids at the water inlet valve. They can be checked using a multimeter or ohm meter for continuity. If either solenoid has none, it is defective and the water inlet valve assy will need to be replaced. I am attaching a photo for reference. Hope this helped and best wishes.

Cold water enters washer very slowly

First - check the water inlet hose screen for calcium or rust build-up.

If cold water is filling slowly, take these steps:
  1. Unplug the washer.
  2. Turn off the cold water supply faucet.
  3. Remove the fill hose connected to the back of the washer.
  4. Checkthe fill screen on the cold water inlet valve for debris or depositsthat can restrict the water flow. If necessary, you can carefully pullthe screen out and clean it. Flush the inlet thoroughly and replace thescreen. NOTE: If debris makes it past this screen, it can cause thevalve to leak and cause a flood in your laundry room. Monitor thewasher for this type of problem is you pull the screen out and clean it.
  5. Placethe end of the hose in a bucket and briefly turn on the faucet to checkfor proper pressure and flow from the cold water hose. If waterpressure from the cold inlet water hose is bad, check the hose forclogs. If the hose is okay, then I recommend calling a plumber to checkthe water supply to your washer cold water faucet.
  6. If the above checks do not help you resolve the fill problem, you will likely need to replace the inlet fill valve.

Your cold water fill valve (mixer valve) solenoid has failed if after cleaning - the condition remains.

Kenmore 80 series model #110.26882503 fills slowly

For low water volume - or "Trickling" effect...

1. Turn off the water supply to both hoses.
2. Remove hoses (one at a time so you don't get them confused)
3. On the washer side - look for a removeable screen inside wher you just removed the hose.
4. Using a small screwdriver - pop out the screen and reverse-flush it/clean it. It will likely be full of sediment and calcium deposits from your pipes.
5. Replace the inlet screens.
6. Re-fit the hose to the machine.
7. Turn on water supply valves.
8. re-try.

Kenmore 80 series model #110.26882503 fills slowly

Yes, the only other thing I would do and you may have done this is to put the hose directly over in the washer tub and turn the water on to check the flow. If that's good then replace the water valve.
