Amana NTW4516FW 3.5 cu ft Top Load Washer with 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 (not both). Check that both hot and cold supply faucets behind the washer are fully open. Remove the fill hoses from the back of the washer and inspect the small inlet screens at the water inlet valve — sediment and mineral deposits clog these screens over time. Clean or replace the screens. Test the inlet valve solenoids with a multimeter — each should read approximately 1000 ohms. If one solenoid is open, the valve must be replaced. Verify the water level pressure switch hose is not kinked.
