Maytag Atlantis Model Number MAV9501EWW has problem filling with cold water. I have switched the hoses and can fill with cold water through the hot water valve.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
This sounds like a hot AND cold fill washer? If so ->

If you have checked that the hot and cold water taps are turned on fully and the hoses are not kinked or squashed at the back, it is worth while checking both the hot and cold water inlet filters. Turn the taps off and remove both hoses at the washer end. Inside each inlet port there is normally a little filter which should just slide out. Clean if necessary and replace each one and the hoses. If after turning the taps back on there is no improvement, the problem is symptomatic of a malfunctioning hot or cold water control valve. Sorry but it needs a service call and a check that it isn't the control PCB ;-0(

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck,
John C

the hot water inlet valve is shot replace it

Try to switch the water inlet hoses, sounds like you have the hot hooked up to the cold water inlet.
If not then the solinoid needs to be replaced

blown fuse,or board

to reset the water level you have to turn the knob all the way over as far as it will go and then come back to large load.

You need to open the back and follow the cold water hose to the solenoid. Tap the solenoid a few times wile you are trying to use cold wated. If not check for power at the 2 wires that go to this solenoid, if you gout power then you need to replace your cold water solenoid. I hope this helps. Don't forget to rate my answer, thanks.

Follow the two inlet hoses from the back of your machine. They should each end at a valve (one for hot and one for cold). Make sure that these valves are all the way counter-clockwise and that the hoses are not kinked or pinched.

switch the hoses fill hoses and if no hot enters you have a defective inlet vavle,,replace...onthejob

Make sure your hot water supply valve is on first. If so then try reversing the hot and cold water feed lines and see if you get hot water when asking for cold. The water valve for the hot water side could be bad. Are you familiar with a voltage meter or know someone that can see if you valve coil is getting 120V when the machine is trying to fill with hot water. If not the control unit is faulty. If you do have the 120Vac on the solinoid coil and no water the either the coil is open circuit(bad) or the inlet is plugged. Most generally the problem is in the control knob unit.
