Had a look at the parts diagrams for this model. The hot and cold valves feed directly into the dispenser (different than the Duet I have which has hot and cold valves feeding the mixed flow through a flow meter then into a diverter mechanism on the dispenser to direct the flow into the four dispenser cups). Your cold valve (#1) has two solenoids each with an output port, presumably feeding into either the bleach cup or the softener cup ... so any cold water input can seemingly only go to either bleach or softener. Your hot valve (#2) has one solenoid and output hose on it, which presumably feeds into the detergent cup. Which then begs the question of how does it do a WARM fill without also flushing either bleach or softener? Seemingly it can't. Being that your cold water flow apparently is the problem, maybe one of the solenoids is erratic or obstructed? |

One small problem remains in that just before it drains for the first rinse in any cycle, the cold water comes on for a few seconds and empties into the fabric softener chamber and then it drains out the chamber and the machine goes into its first drain and partial spin. The next segment, then adds cold water to the bleach dispenser and it empties out now. It then adds water to the fabric softener chamber again later in the cycle.That may be a "cool down" function that for some reason is aborted (water runs for just a few seconds). The flow (from C2) is likely intended to go to the detergent cup. Do you maybe have the wires swapped between the two cold solenoids, causing the momentary flush to spray from C1 into the softener cup? Bleach dispenses with both C1 and C2 spraying, so a swap would have no effect there. You don't use softener, so it wouldn't be obvious on that point if they're swapped. |
