You have tried both a Hot fill and a Cold fill and still no water flow?


You could try going into Service Mode and turn on the water inlet valves with console commands. See page 16 of the Service Manual and see if you can turn the water inlet valves one at a time and get water to flow into the machine. Getting into Service Mode is easy to do


The Service Manual for reference. Sears Parts Direct for reference.


If still no water flow it would be time to check 120VAC on the water valve solenoids when you command them on in Service Mode. If no 120VAC present then we might have a Stuck open High level pressure switch which would disconnect 120VAC to the Control Board relays that operate to switch 120VAC to the Hot/Cold solenoid valves.


How do you feel about troubleshooting? Do you have a DVM? I have the schematic in PDF format if you need. Let me know if you want to DIY the fix......Rich

the hot water inlet valve is shot replace it

check the following
power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet
the inicator on the cycle conrol knob proprely lined up with a cycle? turn the knob to the right slightly then pull the knob

are you using a extention cord if so dont

washer overloaded

Follow the two inlet hoses from the back of your machine. They should each end at a valve (one for hot and one for cold). Make sure that these valves are all the way counter-clockwise and that the hoses are not kinked or pinched.

switch the hoses fill hoses and if no hot enters you have a defective inlet vavle,,replace...onthejob
