I have a Roper washer model#RTW4640YQ1 Serial#C32720151 Just bought it in August 30,2013. When i select the warm wash temp. the washer fills up only cold water. I do no see the hot water inlet hose (jump) when it is to mix with the cold water to make warm water wash. What can be wrong? It is just brand new. I had a service man come to my home. He said that the Roper only uses a spritz of hot water only once to make warm water wash. Well I stood there and watched the tub fill up. The water was icy cold. What is going on?

Most washers have a small screen at the water inlet valve. They can be accessed simply by revoving the hose from the back side of the washer, using a small screw driver you can carefully remove the screens and clean them out under a faucet.That may be all that is wrong.

SOURCE: Cold water filling of tub is extremely slow. No kinks

turn cold water off and remove hose from washer,next remove the screen from the water inlet and clean it and place it back in the valve, place hose back on the inlet,turn cold water back on and test cold setting,you should have good flow.

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: will not work with cold water only warm

Hi,
First check the screens at the cold inlet and make sure they are not plugged. If everything is okay there then it is the solenoid valve on the cold side that is bad... you need to replace the whole unit vlave body, both hot and cold as they come as one unit.

This problem is commonly caused by a water inlet valve (also known as a mixing valve) that has a defective cold water solenoid. If you live in an area that has hard water, or if you use well water, sediment, rust or calcified deposits can accumulate in the inlet valve and cause it not to close properly. Usually when they start leaking, or not functioning at all, you need to replace them. The following link explains how to access and replace the valve:
