The washer works in Spin cycle. However at start up no water is comming in.
I checked the hoses and the screens everything is very clean. This new machine has an auto fill . Is that my problem?

Check for continuity the thermistor (at the end of the water inlet valve). If it is open or shorted, replace the water inlet valve. - The water inlet valve Part number: W10175893

Gene What is a thermistor ? like a resistor, I found two single wires under the hot and cold valves. I removed the two single wires use volt meter and it checks open is that the thermistor? Can the thermistor be replaced by its self? Or the whole valve?

According to Wikipedia "a thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance varies significantly (more than in standard resistors) with temperature".
The thermistor is located at the end of the water valve nozzle. It can be recognized by the two wire terminals.
If your voltmeter was set to measure resistance and it shown that the thermistor is open, replace the water valve. The thermistor comes as a part of the water valve only.

Remove the washer cabinet and trace the pressure hose (#21 on the diagram) from the outer tub to wherever it is connected inside the control panel. Post the result. Visually inspect the electronic control attached to the back of the timer for any cold solder joint or burned spots. I also attached the electric schematic for the washer. Gene.
