no info generic answer leak in dispenser valve or line need to access the dispenser unit most models need to remove inside panel

really? that's unusual...sounds like the mixing of the hot/cold water is not working. could be control panel, or the actual valves.

you particularly handy, or do you usually have someone do this sort of thing.

It unlocks from the back.

access the thermal fuse on Kenmore electric dryer Model 66002010 Google...

There are two types of Kenmore top loading washing machines. The direct drive models and the belt drive models. Direct drive models do not have a back access panel and the water inlet valve is located on the left side viewed from the rear while belt drive models do have back access panel and the water inlet valve is located on the right side viewed from the rear.

The most common problem causing a top loading machine not to agitate, particularly when the motor seems running, is a broken motor coupler for direct drive models and a broken or worn out drive belt for belt drive models.

The best way to exactly determine the cause is to access the drive motor. Open the back access panel for belt drive models and check the drive belt. Check the drive motor if it is running, humming or stuck.

Please indicate the model number of the washing machine if it is a direct drive model for the procedure in accessing drive motor.

This is commen with these. you need to take the door and remove the screws around it. You need to gain access to the controller. on the controller you will see a white peice with 2 balck wires going to it that is your fuse. replace this and that will solve your problem.

you probaly need a lock actuator but if you climb in the back you can unlock manually under access cover in middle of panel

on the back of the machine there a two water inlet valves, these are electric solenoid valves and one of them is leaking.  You need to remove the back panel on the washer to replace this valve assembly.  It's a common easily obtained part.

the water tray probably just pulls out and there's screws near the base that comes out. up underneath there should be some screws to take out. thhen the unit comes down and out the front. wires and a hose will be coming out with it.
