Why does my washer not fill with water?
The washer also won’t fill with the right temperature of water if the hot or cold valve on the water inlet valve assembly fails so replace the water inlet valve assembly if a valve fails. The temperature selector switch lets you set the temperature of the water going into the washer.
Can a washing machine use both hot and cold water?

Why does my washer fill with hot water on the cold setting?
Some of these switches are programmed to sense when the water supply hoses are reversed. If the switch on your washer sensed this in error, it would fill with hot water instead of cold. You may need to replace this switch. If you have a different type of washer or need more help, resubmit your question with the full model number of your washer.
