Admiral ATW4516MW HE Washer 4.3 cu ft High Efficiency Top Load Washer with Deep Fill and Dual Action Agitator Won't Fill Error Fix: Washer Not Filling With Water

The washer does not fill with water when the cycle begins, or fills only with hot or cold water (not both). The water inlet valve has two solenoids (hot and cold) that can fail electrically or mechanically. Test each solenoid coil with a multimeter — they should read approximately 1000 ohms. Check the small inlet screens at the garden hose connections on the back of the valve — sediment and mineral deposits clog these screens, restricting water flow. Remove the hoses and clean or replace the screens. Also verify that both supply faucets behind the washer are fully open.
