I can make it wash by switching over to the Rinse cycle to finish filling, then switching back to the wash cycle. It will wash the load like normal. What's wrong with my washer?

Tried to run the washer and the hot water came through okay in the little area on top where you add the soap, but then stopped when it came time to come in through the back of the drum. This should help clarify the problem if there's someone out there who has any experience with this issue. Still using the washer on cold setting to get things done around here.:confused:
