No cold water
Water Valve
Maytag Original Top Load Washer
If the problem with your Maytag washer is that is not filling properly, not taking cold water, not taking hot water, or not taking any water at all.
Or if the washer keeps taking water and overflows even when the washer is on the off position.
The problem could be a bad water valve. To check it out, do the following.
1. Disconnect the washer from the wall outlet
2. Open the controls panel
3. Remove the cabinet
4. Set your multimeter to read more than 2000 ohms
5. Take a reading between the two terminals on the two solenoids on the water valve
6. The reading should be between 700 and 1800 ohms on each solenoid
If the reading is infinity on any solenoid, the water valve is bad and most be replaced
