Is hot hose connected to hot faucet and cold to cold? When you had hoses off did you make sure water was coming out when cut on at faucet? If all is well with hoses and water supply, then your water valve may be bad. It also could be a control board issue

The door interlock may be faulty. Try closing the door firmly or hit the door handle when the door is closed.

SOURCE: Ge front load washer model WSXH208A Will not spin

Mine kept stopping mid cycle also, pouring water on the floor, then the start/pause button flashed and the door unlocked. I found the solution to clean the lint filter on the GE Adora. Go to http://www.instructables.com/id/GE-Adora-Lint-Filter-Cleanout/?download=pdf

I just did this and my washer is now running instead of the flashing start/pause and door unlocking. It was fairly easy. Make sure you have towels and a flat pan to catch the water if you don't have the machine on a riser. There may be water inside so a wet vac may be helpful too. Once my washer finishes what was in it, I have these funky towels to clean. You'll be very surprised what you find in the filter! Best of luck!

SOURCE: GE washer won't fill with cold water

Cold water pipe had become frozen. FYI this model of washer has a nice feature whereas you can test each component i.e. valves, by setting the timer and reading the LED's on the front panel. Instructions are in the schematic.

SOURCE: ge front loading washer door won't unlock

I had the same problem. I didn't want to spend the money or go to the trouble of replacing the whole latch assembly with the GE latch repair kit.
I found that the plastic latch piece screwed to the door had broken and one of the two latch "fingers" was stuck in one of the latch openings on the washer. I fixed the problem by removing the broken part from the washer and drilling and countersinking very small holes (1/16" I think) in the plastic latch piece on either side of the "latch finger". I then put the broken off piece back in place and drillled pilot holes for #4 sheet metal screws in the door where the latch is located. The door liner is plastic and I think I used a 1/32 inch drill bit. I reattached the broken latch piece with two 1/2 inch stainles steel #4 flat head phillips screws from Home Depot. The screws hold the broken latch piece in place as orinilally positioned.
The repair is working fine and the door now latches like it did before the latch part broke

Washing machine won't fill

This can be due to a clogging of the inlet valve as the water flow is restricted. You can remove the water line to the washer and check the flow , then check if the inlet valve works after the power is switched on the washer , If there is no flow to the drum then the inlet valve is faulty provided there is power to the valve or the main controller is faulty

Whirlpool Ultimate Care II LSQ9549L top load washer -- hot water okay at inlet on back of unit, but won't fill tub. Is it a valve or a clogged line inside?

Most likey a bad water valve. You can replace it with just a few screws and a pair of pliers for the hose. You can test by swicting around hoses and the plugs on valve if you'd like to test it then try the machine on cold wash(it should be hot). While you switch them inspect the screens for rust and any clogging. Good Luck, Mastatech

LG WM1814CW washer - doesn't fill with water. Hear a hum when it should be filling with water, but no water and no error codes. I am guessing Valves (F160 and F170). Any thoughts?

Hi

If the washer won't fill you'll need to check for the water inlet hose, the water inlet valve and the pressure/water level switch assembly. Inspect the inlet hose coming to the washer for any blockages. If the hose is not clogged then check the water inlet valve for any clogs, if the water will not even fill for few seconds then certainly the water inlet valve is bad and should be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to check continuity on inlet valve. If you don't get any value on the multimeter then you'll need to replace the water inlet valve assembly. However, if the valve is fine then the pressure/water level switch assembly should be replaced. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

The washer is not filling with water. Once the water is dispensed into the washer, water is not visible and the clothes do not get wet until half way through the washing cycle.

Hello

When the washer wont fill at all then the issue is either with a bad water inlet valve or clogged inlet screen. Please check the water line for any clogs/obstructions and try cleaning the inlet. Hope you understand that you might require water inlet valve replacement if the problem is still unsolved after cleaning. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

My GE front load washer will not fill with water unless I put it on the tap cold setting. What could be the problem?

more than likely your water mixing valve is bad or at least the hot water side
you can check to ensure that the screen is not clogged but that is rare for hot water

Hi my problem is that my whirlpool duet washer front loader model wfw9200sqa10 is giving me a code number F20 and i dont know what could be the problem please help.

i believe i ve already answered this query....
F20" is a water inlet problem. This indicatesthat you have no water or insufficient water supply. What Whirlpoolrecommends to do is unplug the washer and check your water inletscreens to ensure they are not clogged, check the inlet hoses forkinks, and to make sure your taps are turned on (duh! I know it soundsstupid, but I've seen it before).

To check the water inlet screens you will need to turn off the water supply and disconnect the hoses where they connectto the back of the washer. The inlet screens are located inside the tapfittings and sometimes will collect with sediment and rust depending onyour water source. Some hoses also have sediment screens. Check them aswell if you have them. Use cotton swabs to clean the screens,thoroughly.

Checking the hoses and taps is self-explanatory. Thewater supply coming into the washer should be at least 10-25 psi.Insufficient water pressure can cause problems with slow fills and/orerror codes due to insufficient pressure. If you haven't had anyproblems before, I would suspect dirty inlet screens and/or a inletvalve failure.

If you need to replace the water inlet valve,searspartsdirect.com carries the part. Just type in your model numberin the Search menu and look for item #1 under the "Dispenser Parts" The part runs about $52.00.

Washer Fills HOT WATER ONLY

If you checked the screens at the water inlet valve and they were not clogged, then you probably have a defective water inlet valve and will have to replace it. Hope this helped.

Machine won't fill with water

Check that the inlet screens on the water supply are not clogged.
Make sure the water is for certain turned on (assuring nothing has changed).

If those are not found to be the problem, then it could be the fill valve(s) or the timer control.
