:confused: I changed out the water inlet valve for a new one, thinking the problem was a sticking cold water valve, with no change in symptom . Same problem , no cold water. I switched the connections on the valves to see if it was a fault or wire break...Same problem, only hot water.
I was thinking it is a worn out water temperature switch in the control console.?
I checked all the connections for corrosion, etc., they look good.
Anybody have any suggestions whether I am on the right track.

I unhooked the cold water hose and cold water came out. Could it be the water temperature control switch in the console ? Is there another component that could be causing this behavior? I am ready to try replacing the switch box.
I have also replaced the hoses thinking it could be some sort of blockage.
No dice...

Well, I replaced the water temperature switches in the console, no dice still no cold water. Sofar I have replaced the hoses to the inlet valve, and the inlet valve. I am out of ideas. I have the sneaky suspician I am slowly building a new washing machine. Does anyone have any idea of what the problem is?
I am a stubborn Scotsman who does know when to quit.... :mad:

May be time to recap what you have done and diagnose that.

I do not think the control switch is the problem.
Diagnosis:
You have hot water so you know the hot valve gets power.
When you switched the lines to the valve. Hot power is now on the cold valve and cold power is on the hot valve.
You get hot water so you know that the cold power is OK.
Conclusion:
Power is OK to both the hot and cold valves.

Conclusion: You have cold water.
Did the water come out at the same rate as the hot water?
Does the house plumbing have a burst hose protection system? These can do all sorts of not so wonderful things.
Swap the hoses at the valve. Run a cold only cycle if it fills with hot water then you know that there is a problem either with the cold hose or the house water supply.
If it does not fill then I would say that you received a defective inlet valve.
The odds of getting a defective valve with exactly the same symptoms as the one you replaced are slim but not impossible.

I hope the above makes sense.
sidfink43 If you see this and since you are the washing machine guru, does it make sense?
