Di I need to connect a warm and cold tap on my toploader only have a hot tap connected is that why it only taps water while in wash mode but as soon as it goes into rinse mode it does not tap watwr

Needs cold water for rinse cycle. Seperate water valve. It will just sit there.

Hi Kimberly, You have to have both hot and cold water taps connected and turned on and if you have then your hot/cold water switch is faulty, I hope this helps........CHEERS..

If you have hot or warm wash selected and you get no hot water, a possible cause is that the solenoid inlet valve on the hot connection has failed. Try connecting the hot tap to the cold inlet on the back of the machine, and selecting cold wash. If you then get hot water coming in you will know it is almost certainly the solenoid inlet valve on the hot connection.
.

One simple thing to try is to clean them screens on the water valve. Remove the hoses and get the screens out. Give em a clean or chunk em and wash on!

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly
Turn off the water at the wall connection remove the hoses noting the positons of HOT and COLD. Then clean the inlet screens in the water valve. (lift out by using a knife blade on the outside of the screen) Wash the screens by rubbing your fingers ofer them under slow running water then reinstall them.

Before you start try a hot wash.. and then cold wash to see if either has water coming into the machine. If it works there is a way to back flush the water valve using a warm water wash. You remove one hose and stick it in a bucket. Turn ON the other hose and let water flow into the bucket while gentily tapping on the hose connection with a screw driver HANDLE. Reverse hose connections and repeat hose in bucket and tapping on hose connection. Reconnect both hoses then try HOT and COLD wash fill cycles. Let me know what happened.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,

no problem at all using only cold. Most washers only will fill with hot water after that all other cycles use cold.

Makes a big difference. Cold water valve is is normally marked blue or simply cold water. connected to cold water tap. Hot water marked with red colour or simply hot and connected to hot water tap.(Red hose - Hot water. Blue hose- cold water.).

hi sounds like u could have self pluming taps on your hot cold pipes common for them to get blockd due 2 hard water need 2 replace taps or remove and clean holes out in old taps hope im right from washerman27

You could if you wanted a hot wash. You cannot dry without cold water. The dryer cycle requires cold water to draw moisture out of the clothes.

You can create a custom program that has no dry cycle. I usually do the laundry this way and hang dry, however I only have cold water hooked up.

You could get cold from the cold tap by installing a few outdoor hose quick connect parts to the tap if your faucet ends in a screw fitting. You may also need screw on expander for this to work. Go to you local hardware store and tell them you want to get the outdoor hose quick connect parts and an expander to fit on your household tap. Buy metal parts NOT cheapo plastic.

My LG Toploader (wft753a) has a cold and a hot inlet, and the mechanism inside the machine simply turns the flow from each tap on and off. There is no internal heating element in it.
