Get 120v at cold valve with switch set at "Cold", but only getting 2v at Hot valve when switch set at"Hot'. Checked resistance on Inlet assemblies and they are the same on both new and old. Is new switch bad the only option left?

Like you said you were only getting 2 volts to the hot water side. Therefore your water temp switch is likely the culprit here. Now for the bad news, whirlpool has discontinued this part. It may be available with a search thru the web or other secondary aftermarkets. The part number you will nee to look for is 8571735
