Searched the forum and didn’t see anything about this so I guess I’ll explain the situation.
Started the other night, while starting a load of laundry, washer filled up then there was a burning smell. It was in cold water mode. Now everything works normally if its in hot water mode, but if its in cold water mode it will not fill up during the wash cycle only. However, if you put it in cold water mode and manually turn it to rinse, it will fill up(with cold water) and complete the wash cycle normally. What do you guys think?
Wrong again Fiesty, Remove the pump and motor and inspect the motor for burnt start windings. If you have an amprobe, check the motor current at the input power cable, if higher than 10 amps you have a load problem, usually bad brake shoes.
possible the strainers to inlet water are stopping up where the hot and cold water come in to the washer from sedement like iron rust or sand clean them by removing the cconnection hoses and look in there or could be the timer

Strainers look fine. Plus in the rinse cycle cold water flows like a champ. Timer was my initial thought, but thats a lot of coin to drop considering I don’t know if thats really the problem.

Removed the motor. Windings are not burnt, and I doesn’t smell toasty. I’ll borrow a meter to check the amperage if you still think thats it. Any other thoughts?
Got it. While I was messing with the cover on the timer I noticed a loose wire. Thought I checked all the wires but apparently not. Tightened it up and its working now. Thanks for your help.
