valve might need dissasembled and cleaned,or a hose might be pinched/kinked-what is the year of the machine,i have a 1984 version of the design introduced around 1981-i could have a look at mine if yours is '81 or newer. |

Well, you'll know when you first see it----if the lid opens to the side----it's a solid-tub. To the rear---a perf-tub. Hope you enjoy it. Either way SQ's are fun washers. |

If it has a perforated basket its not timed fill. Check the inlet screens but its not likely the problem don't remove then to clean you risk getting dirt in the valve and causing a stuck valve and flood. But if it has the slow fill on hot warm or cold the fill inlet check valve is bad you can either replace it or by pass it. Its located under the washer top at the rear in the hose that goes from the inlet valve to the tub cover.Its also never a bad idea if you are going to use this washer a lot to buy a new inlet valve they are fairly cheap and easy to replace don't waste you time taking an old valve apart if a new one is only 20 30 dollars. Inlet valves can be fixed in some cases but its not worth the possible problems if a good new one is available.

Just a thought, with the aerated water in the solid tubs can this aerator mechanism/valve get full of lime buildup? alr2903 |
