Washer will not fill with water

Did you check the gauze strainer in the water connector.

To test for voltage, use your multimeter. Turn the machine on and set a cycle, then carefully use the probes to check for voltage.

My LG top load washing machines WF -T8019TC show an error code E2

The E2 error code on an LG washing machine usually indicates a problem with the water supply. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
  1. Check the water supply: Make sure that the water supply to the washing machine is turned on and the water pressure is adequate. If there is a problem with the water supply, fix it and try running the machine again.
  2. Check the water inlet valve: The water inlet valve is responsible for controlling the water flow into the washing machine. If the valve is faulty, it can cause the E2 error code. To check the valve, unplug the machine and turn off the water supply. Remove the hoses from the valve and check if there is any debris or damage. If the valve is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
  3. Check the water level sensor: The water level sensor is responsible for detecting the water level in the washing machine. If it is faulty, it can cause the E2 error code. To check the sensor, unplug the machine and locate the water level sensor. Check for any damage or debris and clean it. If the sensor is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to contact a professional for further assistance.

Washer starts to fill then stops and gives d20 error code

An error code of D20 on a washing machine typically indicates that the machine is not filling with water correctly. This issue can be caused by a variety of factors, including a clogged water inlet valve, a faulty water inlet valve, or a problem with the water supply line. Here are some things you can try to troubleshoot and fix the issue:
  1. Check the water supply line for any kinks or blockages. Make sure that the line is securely connected to the washer and to the water supply valve.
  2. Check the water inlet valve for any debris or blockages. The valve is located at the back of the washer and is responsible for regulating the flow of water into the machine.
  3. If the water inlet valve is clogged or damaged, it may need to be cleaned or replaced.
  4. Make sure that the water supply valve is fully open. This valve is typically located under the sink or behind the washer.
  5. If you have checked all of these things and the issue persists, it may be a good idea to call a professional appliance repair technician for further assistance.

Why does my washing machine take so long to fill?

Check to see if the screens are clogged on your water inlet valves. Just turn your water off at the Hot and Cold faucets, then remove the water hoses from the back of the wash machine.
The section that the hoses were attached to on the back of the wash machine is the water inlet valve (or valves). Take a flashlight and inspect for blockages on the screens (they're located right in the valve inlets).

If you see grit or calcium build up, you can usually pull the tiny plastic screens out with a pair of pliers and clean them out under running water. Then, put them back in and hook everything back up. Turn on your Hot and Cold faucets and see if your washing machine fills faster.

It should work, but if not, you'll need to replace the water inlet valve (or valves, depending on your model)

Good luck!

Where is the temperature sensor on a samung washing machine wf8702rsw?

Such sensors are usually located in the water input assembly where the water is mixed and the computer adjust how far the valves are open for desired water temps. Like adjusting the water valves in the shower for a desired water temp.

My whirlpool estate top load washer ( model tawb600jq1) serial cro708750 type 110 has a very slow drip that begins during the wash cycle and continues after washing is done. How can I fix this?

Water valve is bad most likely. Once the machine gets going in final spin shut off the water supply till you can get another water valve.
This home video of mine shows the basic location of your water valve:

Washer only has cold water. Hot water is good to machine but only cold water enters machine on warm cycle, no water ar all on hot cycle.

Hello there
The Water System temperature sensor is normally what is wrong with these units with this condition that you are experiencing
The water system consists of the hot and cold water inlet valves, a water temperature sensor, a water
flowmeter and control and the dispenser distribution system along with a traditional pressure switch.
Water Inlet Valves -
The hot and cold water inlet valves are located at the back of the washer. These valves receive a control
signal from the Central Control Unit to manage the temperature of incoming water. The temperatures
are determined by the specific wash cycle selected and a temperature sensor located in the wash tub.
To improve cleaning of heavily soiled clothing and to provide a sanitizing feature, the water temperature
can be increased through the use of a heating element located in the bottom of the tub

Washing machine

Check first the filters on the inlet water line (both sides). Then, if problem still exist - check that the inlet water valve works(it is an electromagnet valve, located at the pipe's entrance to the machine)). If it doesn't work, test that it get power. In case it get power and doesn't work - You can easily open the valve and clean it (from scale or other dirt). Be aware you should disconnect the power cable from machine before doing it !!!! Check as well for valve's coil resistance. In case you have no resistance measurement - you should replace it for a new one. Good luck !
