Hello,

I have a Kenmore 70 Series washing machine. When I turn it on I get plenty of hot water, but only a trickle of cold water. I confirmed this by switching the water temperature selection to cold only. Could this be caused by a faulty inlet valve or is it something else?

Thanks!

Clean the screens on the water valve where the hose from the house meets the machine. Do not take the screens out. Just clean them in place (with a old toothbrush or something like that).

Thank you for the suggestion. I cleaned them, but it didn't improve the water flow at all.

If you have water and clear screens then it should be a water valve.
