Rinse Cycle Doesn't Fill with Water

We just replaced the water pump on our GWL11 washer. Now it fills fine for the wash cycle, but just drips a very limited amount of water into the machine during the rinse cycle. Not nearly enough to rise the clothes.

During the wash cycle it gave the warning that either in inlet hose were disconnected, the water supply was off or there was a problem with drain hose. Checked and all were fine.

So maybe I need to replace the inlet valves?

When I put it in diagnostic mode, it said the obo switch was tripped. Would this cause the problem with no water during the rinse cycyle?

You may want to double check you have the inlet hoses around the correct way as if you have the cold hose going to the hot valve it would cause this fault. If the machine doesnt spin properly also it could be a faulty Out of balance switch. cheers.

Kenmore Model 21082000 won't fill during wash cycle

Try checking the lid switch. Sometimes the switch goes bad or the stem breakes and when the lid shuts it will not activate the switch. Usually located on the right side of the dryer. When the lid closes it will allow water to.fill. Washers are easy to fix and the part is cheap. Get it from amazon dont pay the crazy price your dealer wants. Trust me, i just fixed my mothers...

Kenmore front-load washer stops at rinse cycle

When the washer initially fills for the wash, is it only hot water entering the drum? Try switching the water temperature between hot and cold as it fills. If any of them show little or no water getting through, it sounds too easy but check to make sure water supply taps are on, and that the cold/hot fill hoses aren't reversed. Remove the fill hoses and check any of the screen filters for blockage (in the hoses and in the inlet water valve). When the machine stops and waits to fill but all you hear is a hum, it sounds like there is power going to the valve but water is not able to get through it.
Good luck!

Washer only fills with hot water

Probably a bad water inlet valve. To verify, you would have to check continuity at the valve.

Cold water will not stop filling during rinse

while the unit is filling in the warm cycle. reach behind and shut off the hot water tap.I bet the water flow stops filling, if so, you would need to change the inlet valve on the machine. You see, in warm, if the cold is not filling, you still hear the hot filling and the unit will advance. The rinse cycles are mostly "cold" only. if the valve is not opening it will not allow it to advance from the rinse section on the board.

Good luck!
