Weird temp issues on Whirlpool wash cycle

So I attached a photo of the temp selections on my washer. During the rinse cycle everything works!

However straight cold will not work at all on wash cycle. Cold valves will open on the warm setting but not when straight cold is selected (wash cycle only) it’s weird that during rinse all functions will work but not on the wash cycle. What is also weird is on the accutemp selection when cold/cold is selected hot water will come in for 60 seconds and stop. I even tried putting the hot line on cold and vise versa but nothing happens

I have replaced the temp switch, hoses and the inlet valve and still nothing. Any ideas on what it could be? I am starting to wonder if it is worth it to try and fix but I don’t want to give up!

Turn the hot water valve at wall fitting off. Set temp switch to position 2 (W/C non-sensor). Set to wash fill. Do you get cold water? If so but no cold water with switch set to position 1 (C/C non-sensor), then the switch is faulty.

In rinse fill, power to cold valve is on continuously and bypasses temp switch and ATC board.

The reason hot comes on briefly in sensor COLD/COLD is because water temp is regulated to 70° by the ATC board and temp sensor. Cold valve should be on continuously via temp switch and hot valve is cycled via ATC board to control water temp.

Yes it was just the switch. Everything works great now!
