I have Kenmore washing machine model number 110.20922990 and the cold water is filling very slowly. It is coming out in trickles and takes 3 hours to complete a wash. I took off the hoses and they are clear and the water comes out of them well. The fill valve screen has lots of sediment. I cleaned out some with a screwdriver but there is still sediment left. How do I clean the fill valve screen? I tried to pry the screen out, but couldn't get it out. Thanks for your help!
Clean the screeen in the washer where the cold goes in and check you hose to see if its full of calciun rust or just pluged or try and switch the hot and cold lines croos them put it on cold and see if it still does it then its your hose or the spicket you have is hooked up to also make sure you have the cold valve tured on al the way someone may have pranked you
Good day,
As far as cleaning the screen, you can pry it out and toss it. It may serve you for a while. The option, is to remove the valve completly, and clean it under running water with something like a stiff toothbrush.
Note: If the hot side is filling decently, then the cold water side of the valve is swelling internally, and the valve needs replaced.
In this area, the parts houses sell a GE universal water valve that is very good, and might be cheaper than the original. It's all I use.
Part # WH13X81.
