Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Error NF means No Fill. The washer has tried to fill but was unsuccessful. NF indicates No Flow. There is something that is interrupting the inbound flow of water to the washer, either hot or cold. Sometimes this happens when water service in the area is interrupted, creating an air pocket that causing the water valve not to sense water.

Try running the diagnostic test by—

• Press the delicates and heavy soil keys together for 3 seconds.
• You are in the service mode.
• Now, press wrinkle free key, cold water should start entering.
• Then, press the cotton sturdy and hot water should flow.
• To exit the test mode, either unplug the machine or press the delicate and heavy soil again for 3 seconds.

Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

""Selectedd cold / cold and machine fills with hot water.""

Is your machine a FAV6800A or FAV9800A? If it's one of those I Have specific info to troubleshoot in Service Mode.

We will go into Service mode and turn on the Hot and Cold water inlet valves from the console and make sure the correct water inlet valve opens and fills the machine...........Rich

and a p/n if you need to replace the water inlet valve assembly.

first test water valve ohms reading, this fault could be either control module or water valve.first open top panel to see valves. turn power off to unit. try putting the hot water valve wire to the cold and the cold to the hot. hopefully they will reach, sometimes they dont. then put panel back on with loose screws. turn power on , select low water ,and hot fill.push start button but make sure your hoses r connected and turned on. the reason i"m telling u how to do this is to eliminate the control board as being faulty if the cold water comes into unit then the problem is your computer, if no water comes in it is your water valve.i hope this helps if u still need help please reply

Is resistance between each terminal of INLET
VALVE ASSEMBLY 0.8~1.2 kω? If not replace it.
Is the inlet valve filter clogged?
Clean the filter.
Verify the voltage of the inlet valve connector is
120 V AC. No voltage? Check electrical connection.
Replace the MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY.
I have an LG training manual which might not be the exact one you need but it gives an idea what to look for.

It's most likely the water inlet valve solenoids. Be sure to unplug the machine. They can be tested using a multimeter or ohmmeter. Check for continuity. A lack of continuity indicates a bad solenoid. Also check the small metal screens inside the openings on the water inlet valve. Make sure they are clear of rust or debris. I will attach a photo for reference. Hope this helped and best wishes.

There is a solenoid control valve on all washing machines, located where the water hoses enter the machine. If you have a rubber mallet, you can whack the machine gently with the mallet. If the problem is resolved, it was just a stuck valve. If not, then you likely will need to replace the whole solenoid valve control. Typically there are controls for each water supply.
