I have a GE washer that stopped allowing any cold water in. I had a water outage about a month ago and know there was sediment when the water was turned back on initially. It will run in hot or warm mode but not cold and will not operate in cycles where it expects cold water. When it gets to the rinse cycle for example, it just stops. I pulled off the hoses and cleaned the little strainer inside the inlet. Is there some way to flush the rest of the system to rerlease any sediment that got through the fine strainer or could it have burned something up? There water outage was about 7 weeks ago so this came out of the blue.

Here is a link to the parts list for the controls and backsplash...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take the cold water hose off the valve. Stick the end in the machine and turn on the cold water at the valve. if you have a good flow of water, then your problem is down at the house valve. if not then it is with the machine valve.

The cold water runs fine from the faucet. I even tried to shoot water into the machine from a water hose with a nozzle. Somewhere inside the machine is definitely my problem. Not sure if this sheds anymore light.

Check if there is 120VAC to the cold water solenoid on the water inlet valve (#805 on the break down diagram). Check this solenoid for continuity.

Post the results.
