Washer won\\\'t fill

bbrockaaaa · 22 Jan 2006

1982 Montgomery Ward (made by Whirlpool I think) won't fill with water. Spin works. Any suggestions?

First check the obvious - is the incoming supply turned on? If so, do you have 230 volts on the feed solenoid, if so, do you have a resistance accross the solenoid coil - (when powered down)? Often if the solenoid is functional but there is a lack of water supply, there is an obvious hum from the energised coil.

I also suggest you note this although i do gree with your initial diagnosis, even if you have the voltage wrong
