whirlpool slim twin - no water

Odd things happened when trying to do laundry.

  1. settings were cold/cold, large load and nothing would work.
  2. switch to warm/warm, and the washer started to fill but with hot water
  3. I let this cycle run it’s course, but then attempted a second load
  4. this time, nothing would work regardless of what temp setting I chose. I did find that I could make the washer work by changing the knob setting for load size from "large" to "small"
  5. I messed with the settings a bit more, then nothing would work
  6. The only time I can now get water to enter the unit is if I rotate the dial to the rinse cycle, and it will fill (with hot water).
  7. I removed the hose and the screen isn’t clogged.

Sooo, perhaps it’s the solenoid valve, but I’m thinking it can’t be since I can get water to enter on the rinse cycle.

Perhaps something with a switch?

Also, anyone have a link to the repair manual so I can see how to remove the sheet metal and start troubleshooting this?
