Hi,

Pulled the inlet valves on this model. Connected hose and applied power to solenoid, one at a time. Noticed that one valve allows a lot more water to flow, than the other.

I know some newer washers mix the water cooler, but in this case one is < than half flow of the other. Normal ?

Can't seem to find any info on this on the web.

Thanks Much...

If the water flow coming out of the hot and cold hose is equal prior to hooking them up to the valve, then you have a bad valve, or the screen in the valve that's slow is partially clogged. If the water coming out of the hose's are not equal check the filter screen on the slow one where it hooks up to your faucet.

Thanks Frank,

Used WD40 all over the slow valve and it seems to flow OK now. Perhaps something was binding.

Regards...
