Question

Kenmore elite washer will not fill, no water will come in at all. It goes right to wash cycle with no water in it. This is both for the cold and hot water. yes good water presure and I did check the screens in the water inlet. they are nice and clean. Any help greatly apreciated!!!!

Answer 1

The rubber diaphragm inside the water level pressure switch is going bad and the washer thinks it has water in it. In top loader type machines the water level must be satisfied to send signal back to the timer to start agitation. I have giving these switches a good smack and the equipment will start to fill with water. The water level switch should be replaced if it is found to be the problem. A clear hose runs to it so trapped air will activate the switch as the water level in the machine rises.

Answer 3

top load or front load.. if it is a top load it is most likely the fill valve. the thing both hoses fit to . if you have a front load I would call a tech there are several things it could be.

Answer 4

Timer sounds stuck. You may need to replace it. Give it a thump and try it again then head to parts store.

Your output drain pipe at back of washer needs to be as high as top of washer.
