The problem is one of two parts. One is your water temperature switch or your hot water solinoid. To get to the back you must remove the hex screws on the back and then the panel is removeable.

SOURCE: Water is not filling up.

turn off water
disconnect fill hose from tap
examine screen inside hose end for 'muck' blockage
clean screen
reconnect hose
test washer
if no fill
replace water solenoid valve

note: cold water valve fails first, it gets most use,
if only using cold water, you can simply swap the hot and cold hoses at the tap, and swap the hot and cold electrical connectors on the solenoid valves, the hot solenoid is no the cold one and the washer can be used, cold only, for about as long as it has operated thus far..

SOURCE: Kenmore Washing Machine - no cold water coming in

most likely cuase would be the inlet valve
you would need the complete model number to make sure you get the right part for that unit.

SOURCE: I have a kenmore elite H3 washer. The cold water

Check the inlet valve solenoid wires for resistance with an ohms meter. The cold and hot solenoids should have close to the same resistance. My washer had a weak solenoid causing the hot water valve to close after 4 or 5 seconds. While checking the solenoid wires for resistance with the ohms meter, I noticed the cold side had 51 ohms but the hot side only 8 ohms. Hope this helps.

How to access small hoses & inlet valve diverter attached to top cover & back panel preventing cabinet removal? Kenmore Triple Dispenser Automatic top load washer #11022992103

Try taking off the top. This is held by two spring clips that can be released using a pair of putty knives. Slide the putty knives in from the front of the cabinet on each side so that you push down on the clips. Then you can remove the top. The clips are part 6 on the top and cabinet diagram here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/2y7mjzejlr-000582/kenmore-11022992103-washer-parts .

I hope this helps. We had a problem with a similar washer and the only way to access the inlet valves was to remove the top, as above.

Mu ES119 washing machine water supply inlet valve not working, how can I replace the valve. Pls show

The water inlet valve on your washing machine is the part that the connect the two water hoses to the machine, and it controls the flow of both hot and cold water. A problem with the valve can cause the washer not to fill properly or not fill at all. There is little that you can do to repair the valve itself, but you can clean the two inlet ports to restore full water flow. You can also test the valve to determine whether it has failed. Replacing a bad valve is a simple job and must be done with parts and procedures that are specific to your washing machine model. hot and cold water hoses at the back of the washing machine. Each port is controlled by a solenoid valve that sends electric power to open and close the flow of hot and cold water based on settings for the wash temperature and signals from the water-level switch. Malfunctions in the water inlet valve can cause a washer to not fill properly, fail to run, or wash at the incorrect water temperature. multimeter (also called a volt-ohm meter) to the "OHM X1" setting and test the solenoids for continuity by touching one tester probe to one of the two terminals on each solenoid. The reading should indicate some resistance. If the reading indicates zero resistance, or infinity (?), the solenoid is faulty, and the valve must be replaced. Test both solenoids separately; if either is faulty, the entire valve must be replaced. Replace the Water Inlet Valve (if Necessary)
Here are the basic steps for replacing a water inlet valve:
  1. Disconnect the supply hoses and gain access to the inlet valve by removing the back, top, or front of the washer cabinet.
  2. Unscrew the fasteners securing the valve to its housing or the back of the washer.
  3. Note the color and position of the wires attached to the solenoid, and label them. Disconnect the wires by pulling the plugs apart.
  4. Disconnect the inlet valve from the internal tube (or tubes) that sends water to the tub. This is usually secured with a hose clamp, which you remove with a screwdriver or pliers, depending on the type.
  5. Write down the brand and model number of the washer and, if you can find it, the brand and part number of the water inlet valve. With that information, obtain a replacement valve from an appliance parts dealer.
  6. Install the new valve by reversing the disconnection procedure.

My Samsung, Diamond Drum, Top loader washing machine, WA13V9 does not fill with water. I replaced the hot and cold water inlet valves and the water pressure switch. Please help.

Generally speaking, In the top control head of most washing machines, there is a water level sensor that tells the machine when the drum has enough water in it and when to start the wash cycle according to what size load it is set for. In the older washers, it was basically like a barometric pressure sensor and had a clear plastic hose connected to it. When the water in the drum put sufficient pressure on the air in the hose, it would activate the switch and start the control timer, shutting of the water and starting the wash cycle. If your washer is new enough to show error codes, it may have some other version of this sensor but it will have to have something to say when enough is enough. Look in the control head on top. Good luck.

Good morning. when i set my washing machine to wash, it takes the water but when it must start to wash it drains all the water and say 4E. what does that mean

The first thing to do when you see the NF or 4E error code appear on your Samsung washer:
Step 1 - Remove the unit from power! Be sure the water supply valves on the wall behind your washer are fully open. These 2 water valves must be ALL THE WAY open to provide water to your Samsung washer. Turn them all the way counter-clockwise to be sure. If you have check valves on the wall, make sure they are turned all the way open and parallel with the water supply hoses. If both the water supply valves are fully open, proceed to step 2.
Step 2 - Check to be sure the water supply hoses are not bent, crimped, or kinked. If the hoses are bent, this can prevent water from getting to your washer. Be sure that when you last pushed the washing machine back towards the wall, you did not inadvertently get the water hoses crimped behind the washer, as this happens often. To be sure, get a mirror and a flashlight and look behind your washer without pulling the washer away from the wall. If the water supply hoses are bent or crimped, slide the washer out enough to get your hand down there to get the water supply hoses straight so the water can flow properly. If the water supply hoses are too short, replace them with longer water supply hoses so the water lines do not get bent when you slide it back into place. If the water supply hoses are not crimped or bent, proceed to step 3.
Step 3
- Be sure there is nothing clogged inside the water supply hoses. To check this you need to turn off the water valves that supply water to the washer. Unplug the washing machine from power or turn off the breaker. Slide the washer out far enough to get to the water supply hoses that attach to the back of the washer. Remove the water supply hoses from the back of the washer. (Keep the water supply hoses attached to the water valves on the wall) Be careful as there may be water mesh filters installed in between the water supply hoses and the water inlet valve. If so put these aside and clean if needed. Get a bucket and be sure the water supply hoses are not clogged by slowly opening the water valve one at a time and let the water flow into the bucket. If the water flows freely then the water supply hoses are not clogged. This is to test to be sure the water is flowing properly from the water hoses and valves. If the water does flow as it should from the water supply lines proceed to step 4.
Step 4 - Check where the water hoses were attached to the washer. You will need to pull the washer all the way out so you can get behind it. The part that the water supply hoses screw into on your Samsung washer is the Water Inlet Valve or Valves. Check the water inlet valve to be sure there is nothing clogging or blocking the water from entering. There may be small water mesh filter screens on the water inlet valve that could be clogged, clean if needed. If you do not see anything clogging the water inlet valve or valves, proceed to step 5.
Step 5 - The water inlet valve itself may be clogged internally, have a loose electrical wiring connection, or the solenoids in the water inlet valve are not operational. If you suspect the water inlet valve is faulty or has a loose connection, you will need to open the washer up to gain access to the valve. Remove power first. Check to be sure that the wiring harness is connected to the water inlet valves. Be sure it is secure and not loose. If the wire connection is attached to the water inlet valve, you may have a bad or faulty solenoid in the water valve or valves. At this point you could test them with a multimeter or simply replace it or both.
NOTE: SOME Samsung washing machines have 2 water inlet valves, 1 for COLD water and 1 for HOT water. Other Samsung washers have a hot and cold water inlet valve as one part.

Kenmore HE2plus not getting cold water. Tap on and water in hose, washer just will not wash with cold water.

Hello, Your unit is not getting cold water most likely due to the water inlet valve. There are two to three screws located on the rear top that secure the cover to the unit. If you unscrew these screws and then slide the top panel towards the rear of the machine and remove the top cover off the unit this would give you access to the water inlet valve. Assure also that there is no debris where the hose connects into the back of the water inlet valve on the cold side. Sometimes calcified water can leave deposits in the valve preventing water from flowing into the machine. Here is a video of how to test a water inlet valve in a top load washer the test is very much the same the units are different though click this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zc6NCTAF1U if you have any further questions message me back and please remember when our chat has fully concluded to rank how this opinion has helped in your appliance situation it allows me to continue helping others in similar situations.

Tub completed cycle and wouldn't shut off the water

Is your machine a FAV6800A or FAV9800A? Can you confirm the Model Number and the first two digits Serial Number?

Does water flow into the machine with the 120VAC power plug pulled from the machine?

If it does you have a stuck water valve. If it doesn’t you could have a stuck pressure switch and I can walk you thru how to check in diag mode for that condition.

I know you are frustrated but with some basic troubleshooting we can determine if the issue is a stuck open Water Inlet Valve or a defective Pressure Switch. Because this board doesn’t ask for the Model Number or Serial Number we need to start there.

Here is where the Model and Serial number info is located on the back of your machine.
