Hi,
I've got a strange problem. My washing machine, although fairly old, is very reliable. But midway through a wash, it just stopped mid-cycle. I've emptied the clothes and the water, but now it won't fill with any cold water. I've disconnected the hot water pipe as i have dodgy plumbing where the hot water pipe doesn't connect properly and leaks under the sink, but this hasn't been connected for the past 3+ years and works fine without it.
I've read most of washerhelp.com, and i've taken the top off the machine and also checked the waste pump at the bottom. There's no blockage from the black pipe from the drum to the water pump. I've taken out the powder/ conditioner draw and see no water entering the machine from the cold water pipes, which works strongly when i test it in the sink. The machine will do a spin cycle.
It's strange as the washing machined filled ok as it began it's cycle. Now it won't fill at all
Anyone got an suggestions on how to make the water come in? It seems like it thinks it's full of water or something and i'm not sure how to make it think otherwise
