I would like a cool cycle for some antique bottles. Does the rinse cycle use cold water?

SOURCE: cold water in the rinse cycle of the washer just trickles

Sounds like cold water solenoid is not opening all the way, its easy to replace, and is found inside the wash machine where the hose connects

SOURCE: Rinse cycle water flow slow

This problem is commonly attributed to a water inlet valve (also known as a "mixing valve") that is going bad. The water may appear to flow better during the intial fill cycle, because BOTH solenoids (HOT and COLD) are typically used during the initial FILL cycle. However, nearly all washers use a cold water RINSE. This means only one solenoid is energeized during the rinse cycle which reduces the water volume even more.

If you live in an area that has hard water, or if you use well water, the inlet valve and/or fill hose sediment screens can become clogged with sediment, calcified deposits and rust resulting in a restriction of water flow. You can try cleaning the sediment screens and the water inlet valve in a 50/50 solution of distilled vinegar and hot water to see if you can dissolve any sediment or deposits. Removing the valve from the washer and allowing it to soak in the solution for about 30 minutes, then flushing it with clean water can sometimes return an inlet valve to normal operation. If cleaning the valve does not work, however, you will need to replace it. The following link explains how:

Replacement parts (if required) can be purchased at any of the following web sites:

searspartsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com

Prices will vary between sites so shop and compare. The first three sites on the list have helpful exploded view diagrams to assist you with locating and properly identifing any parts you may need. If the model number you listed this question under is correct, the Water Inlet Valve number is 285805 and is listed as item 18 under the "Controls and Rear Panel" parts listing. The average price is less than $20.


If you have any questions, or if your model number is different, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

Rinse cycle does not run water, timer stops working. Runs fine when filling for wash cycle, drain, and spin until it gets to the rinse on both normal and economy

Before replacing the water valve, turn off the cold water, and check to see if the screen on the cold water valve is clogged. It may be replaceable depending of the washer model. Otherwise, I clean these filters in the field with a small toothbrush and a little spray bottle.

Cold water will not fill tank at beginning of cycle, but cold water will come during rinse cycle...why

Thank you for your post, friend!

Based off the information you have provided I see that your Frigidaire washer will fill with cool water but not during the rinse cycle. A few possibilities that you could be seeing an issue with a faulty pressure switch or water valve. I would suggest seeking assistance from a professional for proper diagnosis and repair to avoid any unnecessary part purchases. Hopefully this is helpful. -Matt

I have Hobard LXIH dishwasher, it is working OK but during rinse cycle instead of taking in rinse agent it is actually fill rinse bottle back with water. Rinse pump is working, it was replaced in June

Check the rinse pump. The tubing needs to come from the supply into the bottom of the pump, and the pump should be running clockwise. If the pump tube is worn, the rinse pressure will blow through the pump filling the bottle

I have a Miele W1918 washer which has worked perfectly for a decade. Now there is not enough water to fill the tub during the first 'rinse' phase of normal cycles or the 'separate rinse' cycle. The machine...

I have exactly the same problem. I am currently getting around the issue by letting the machine do the washing then at the end of that cycle do a manual rinse cycle.

HOW TO DE SCALE THE Philips AVENT Digital Bottle

Mix one sachet of citric acid* (10g) with 200ml/7oz of water. Pour solution into the
empty warmer. DO NOT place a bottle, jar or cup into the warmer when de-scaling.
Close the lid of the warmer and programme the warmer to run with 310ml/11oz of
milk from frozen. After the warming cycle has ended, leave the solution to cool for
30 minutes before emptying the warmer and rinsing with tap water. Wipe the inside
and outside of the warmer with a damp cloth only.
OR:
Pour 100ml/3.5oz of vinegar mixed with 200ml/7oz of cold water into the warmer.
Allow liquid to stand in the unit until any limescale has dissolved. DO NOT place a
bottle, jar or cup into the warmer when de-scaling. DO NOT start the warming cycle.
Empty the unit and rinse thoroughly. Wipe the inside and outside of the warmer with
a damp cloth only.

No cold rinse, only hot

Either the wires have come loose on the water valve or you have a defective water valve.Open the lid and look at the water valve. Are all wires connected?
If yes, replace the water valve.

Rinse cycle and cold/cold temp are not working

You either have a faulty cold water inlet valve or you have the cold water hose connected to the hot water inlet valve. Cheers

Does Not Rinse

Check each temperature during initial wash fill. Set to hot water, is hot water coming out? Set to cold water, is cold water coming out? The rinse cycle is cold only. If cold water is not working machine will just stop at rinse.

If cold water not working:
Disconnect cold water hose from machine. Inspect the filter screen on the cold water connection. DO NOT REMOVE SCREEN. If full of debris, use a spray bottle with a hard spray to remove debris. If unable to remove or cold is still not working, replace valve.
