Timer Switch?

Washer Repair
,
1

We have a Frigidaire model # GLTR1670AS0 front load washing machine that does not fill on the first cycle (the wash cycle) on any of the settings. If I bypass that cycle by manually advancing the dial, it fills and runs normally through the remainder of the cycle. Is this likely a defective timer control or is there a fill solenoid that could be bad? Or something else I should look at? I haven’t taken anything apart yet…not really sure where to start.

or is there a fill solenoid that could be bad?
Depends on the cycle you are using.
If it does this on a cold/cold cycle then the valve is OK.
it it does this on a hot/cold cycle then it could be that the hot side of the valve is bad.

Or something else I should look at?
Could also be the temperature switch.

Odds are that it is the timer but this is just a guess.
To confirm this you would have to use a meter and check the timer and temperature switch contacts using the timing charts in the tech sheet to see if they are closing when they should.
