Austin it sounds like the neutral line going to the cold water solenoid has a break it its connection. Its late, but I'm pretty sure like most machines of this vintage the original water valve was a hot & warm solenoid valve, not a hot & cold solenoid valve. In the Soak and Rinse positions the timer calls for warm water which would energize the warm solenoid only, at no point does the washer ever energize both water valve solenoids at the same time. If there is a break in that connection, it cannot energize the warm solenoid and you will get no water flowing. I'm guessing its the neutral line to that solenoid if you say you switched the wires and tried them on the drain solenoid (very good to hear, that's a nice safe way for you to test them). There is also a chance that you have a burned out solenoid on your new water valve. Try switching the wires from the hot solenoid and see it the other solenoid comes on. Keep us posted, let us know what you find out. |

It would be VERY rare a new water valve is faulty. Double check to be sure it isn't that but the problem is probably in the wiring or the temp control switch itself. |
