Possible the washer was only run ten or fifteen times. It has been unused for years but looks new of course. There is no water being dispensed. Manual washer control starts machine correctly. Motor/Pump runs dry until thermal cutoff: No water is dispensed. Replaced water inlet valve WD15X10003. 120 volts to valve solenoid present. Water source good. Still no water into tub. What else can I check? :eek:

I would add a gallon of water to it to see if the pump seals are still OK. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Replaced water inlet valve WD15X10003. 120 volts to valve solenoid present. Water source good.

If you have voltage across the valve and water to the valve and still get no water out then I would say that you received a defective valve. Loosen the input fitting at the valve till it starts to drip just to check for sure that there is water there. I would also remove the valve from the machine and check/clean the filter screen on the input side of the valve. Could be that when you moved the input pipe/tubing you loosened a bunch of crud that has been growing inside the pipe/tubing and it clogged the screen. Do not permanently remove the screen as it is there to keep crud out of the valve which could hold it open and cause a flood.

I will go over those checks again. I'm wondering if the float switch might be a problem if it is stuck in the up position, but I do not know how to remove it. Perhaps it will be obvious once inside under the lower rack with my hands. If I understand your suggestion about the pump I should put a gallon of water into the lower tub and see if the pump moves the water and removes it without leaks. Can do.

Also with the kick plate off you can see if the overflow switch is being activated. Note: If the float switch is the problem you would not see 120 volts across the valve as it cuts power to the valve.
