LG WFT653A wont fill with cold water

I have an LG WFT653A washing machine and it won't fill with cold water so have to use a hot wash only but then it won't fill at all for the rinse as it is programed to only use cold always for the rinse normally. Anyway, a friend opened it up and swapped the solanoids (?) over but was still getting the same problem so they both must work but not in the cold side. Anyway, could it be something wrong with the cold inlet valve (if there is such a thing) that could be replaced by a whole new valve/solanoid system or is there another computer bit somewhere inside that it could be?? I don't want to buy a replacement valve/solanoid system thing if it doesn't fix the problem.
Thanks for your help. I am just a housewife winging it to save some dollars.
Cheers
Fiona

1.) unscrew your cold water conection from the rear of your wash, there will be a little mesh wire thimble in the threaded pipe going into your washer, 2.) remove it and clean it its is most likely clogged, 3.) replace it and put it back together, 4.) enjoy the rinse cycle!!

Lg wf 801 won't fill

Yes , It can be related to the control board, but first of all please make sure that there is good water flows in both the inlets, check the flow after the valve , ensure that the inlet filters are not clogged and check all the connections from the harness to the valve and panel

Cold water Washes

It is normal for the machine to cycle between hot and cold water when filling even if selecting a cold cycle. The reason for this is because even a cold cycle requires the water temperature to be 78F for the soap to break up efficiently.

During the cold months the water in your pipes is probably less than 78F so the machine will need to add some hot water to bring it up to this temperature. Basically, it is adding cold and then hot water to maintain a temperature in the tub of 78F for cold water cycles.

Hope this helps, please rate my solution.
