Washer Not Filling with Water - How to Troubleshoot

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Video showing you water happens to a water valve on a washer when you are on a well. The water valve will become plugged with debris and the washer will not fill or fills really slow. Some washers will pause in the middle of a cycle because it takes too long to fill and shuts the washer off.

    Boom! On a well, little bits of debris clogging the screens bringing water to a trickle. Cleaned and it's back to full waterfall fill! TY!! Saved me so many other debugging steps.

    Hi Bill. I have a Maytag Washer 2000 series. The LF code has been going off sporadically for years, but then it would work fine next try. Now it just stays on and I have tried so many ways to fix it. I checked the hoses, cleaned the screens, made sure the drain line is in properly. I even changed the wiring harness and the water pressure sensor. The machine looks as though it is filling fine, but everything stops and the error code flashes about 10 minutes into the cycle. Any ideas what I should do next?

    Where can I get a new filter mine is completely broken. Also could that be what is causing the washer to pause during the start of the wash cycle? once started if I don't watch it & go back the washer will have completely stopped like 2-5 minutes into the start of the cycle. it never even washes & the clothes will be soaked so we have to stay next to it for awhile to make sure it stays on. I have been having this problem for quite awhile & am really tired of it, it is very inconvenient.

    The washer I'm working on starts to agitate as soon as I turn it on with no water at all. Not one drop comes out. I read that it's the pressure switch that controls the fill level. I had one do the opposite and just keep filling till it overflowed onto the floor. That time the rubber line came off it. I'm suspecting that the switch is corroded and stuck in the up position this time, making the washer think it's full. Was looking for a video to confirm this before I take it apart.

    I dont have well water, but washer is doing this. Gonna try changing screens and see how it goes. I should add that i tried doing a reset on the washer earlier today, but the only video i could find was in spanish, but it did start working for abit. But it wouldnt finish and started reading LF on the screen. That tells me there is a clog somewhere. The water that did come out had a horrid smell as well, which again tells me a clog. Im going to change both hot and cold screens just to get it done. I had no idea they had screens there. The city recently changed all water meters as well, which put sand in the lines for whatever reason and we had to run all house faucets to clear them, and again never occurred to me to run the washer lines as well, til now. So im praying this is the problem. Give an Update when i have it
