This was super helpful, thanks. I've got the washer working again. I had seen elsewhere that blowing out the valve helps too, so did that, and so far so good. No new valve needed. This was the exact video I needed, and I appreciate the detail.
Glad it helped! Wish I knew to try on blowing out the valve first before buying a new one, but at least they're pretty cheap and a lot cheaper than calling in a repair!
Awesome video; Wish I found it earlier while troubleshooting my F8E1 error. Listening to the valves during a cold fill vs a hot fill was the clue I needed to isolate a valve issue. Thank you.
Yea I didn't really know until I was playing around with the different settings wondering why some of the wash cycles work and some didn't, and by watching other videos came to the conclusion that those cycles rely on either hot, cold, or both hot/cold water coming in.
really wish it was this easy every time - I'm at the 'ready to replace relays on MCU' stage now. You can also rebuild this valves pretty easily so don't throw your old valves out just yet!
old valves I already tossed (they were only $10?). hopefully there isn't "another time" and your fix lasts you a lifetime! I had to replace some things on my drying machine recently (in another one of my videos) and that definitely took a lot longer.
I’ve replaced the inlet valve and now I can see there’s forsure more water filling but I’m still getting the f8e1 more often than not. Maybe there’s a level sensor that’s bad ?
I'm definitely no expert here. But assuming that code means low water, low water flow, I think it could be any of the following: the filters are clogged and need cleaning, maybe there's a 'krimp' in one of the hoses, you may have 2 inlet valves - one for hot and one for cold - maybe the other one is faulty, maybe there's some other clog going on (i.e. my one basket was really nasty), maybe there's a way to reset the sensor, or maybe like you mention, the sensor is bad. There may be some type of troubleshooting guide the pro's use. Good luck - let me know what you find out.
I'm not sure. maybe try it on different cycles (i.e. cold only, hot only) to see if it is just the cold water that is giving you the problem. Also maybe see if you think it is filling up correctly. If it is not filling up as much as you think, maybe it is clogged and you can check the filter.. If there is an error code, you can look that up in manual / google.

Hello. The washing machine starts washing and after 20 minutes, it keeps giving the cold wash light error on the panel, can you help?
I'm not sure. maybe try it on different cycles (i.e. cold only, hot only) to see if it is just the cold water that is giving you the problem. Also maybe see if you think it is filling up correctly.
