You haven't responded to my answer to you on the other forum (where you have two threads on the same topic). You also haven't stated your exact model number, but per your control panel picture it appears to be a GWL15. A wiring harness is a bundle of wires connecting one component to another. Open your control panel again. The water valves are the module at the left side (labeled 1 in the picture below), where the water supply hoses are connected. Left solenoid is cold, has blue tape on the wires. Right solenoid is hot, has red tape on the wires. The wires that go under the fill spout are for the temperature sensor. Confirm the wire plugs are connected to the solenoids, the other end is connected to the motor control board, and none of the wires are cut. You can test the valve solenoids by checking the resistance reading with a volt/ohm meter. UNPLUG THE MACHINE FROM POWER. Carefully unplug the wire connector and test across the two terminals on the solenoid. It should read 64 ohms. Assuming your machine *is* a GWL15, the entire valve module must be replaced if either of the solenoids is bad. It's available at fisherpaykelparts.com for $47.50. (Older models have a different valve design that are individually replaceable.) Also possible your motor control board is bad, which is much more expensive. If the valve solenoids test good on their resistance reading, then the board may be the problem. There's no direct way to test the board, just a matter of eliminating the other possibilities. |
