Our washing machine has decided that it doesn't want to let cold water into the tub properly. If i hook the hot water hose up to the cold tap and run it as a hot cycle, it will do the wash cycle, but then the rinse wants cold water. The cold water trickles out really slowly.

I think the solenoid might have packed it in.

Does anyone on here have any experience with fixing them. It's a hoover.

hose into the tub.... just remember to turn it off

that's how i'm getting by at the moment. I might have found the solution though.

kick it

Same thing happened to mine. It seems that the water "Gates" seize up and don't open correctly. I just swapped the hot water one with the cold (Which had seized) and ran cold washes.

replace it.

Ants are normally the issue, the decide to get up in the plumbing we had an issue a while back but dads pretty good with all that shit fixed one minute later.
