WHIRLPOOL Top loader, Washing machine, Water problems!?

I have the ';Ultimate Care II'; model and for some reason, no water is coming in on the hot water setting but did on the warm setting, but even that has stopped now!


What could the problem be?


Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!


I have 4 kids and need my washing machine :(

Unscrew the water lines where they come into the machine. There should be a small screen like filter on each of them. They are probably clogged.If so, all you have to do is clean them and put them back. Don't run the machine without them!!!WHIRLPOOL Top loader, Washing machine, Water problems!?
remove the hose off the back and there is a screen to filter out contaminants,clean this off and that should fix the problem ..If not the hot water solenoid may be bad.
Make sure the hot and cold shut off valves are all the way on(ccw). If they already are, then turn the hot and cold shut-off valves to the machine off. Disconnect the hoses at the machine and see if the screens are clogged up. If they are, clean them. If not, a service person needs to be called.
if you have well water you might have sediment in your water. It doesn't take much to clog the screens. Here is what we did 1. had a whole house filter put on after the well pump. 2. Had a second filter put on before the hot water heater. Be sure to drain the sediment out of your water heater if you have one with a tank. (we have a tankless water heater now). If you have city water it might still be a good idea

  1. Hello,
    Friend what a nice blog I like this blog so much, The filter is easy to install and replace with its quarter turn feature. And without any drop in filtration quality, the water filter is able to retain beneficial fluoride found in water.
    Thanks for this great sharing.
