    Slow Hot water flow into washer
    I am experiencing a very slow HOT water flow into my Kenmore 80 Series washer. When knob is turned to the Cold/Warm setting the water flows well, but when I switch to the HOT only, the flow shuts down to a trickle. What is going on?

    Thanks,
    Carl Sanders

    Turn off hot water at hose bib. Remove hose at hose bib and washer. Many washer hoses have screens, some at hose bib, some at washer. Check for debris. Also look inside washer water valve for screen.
