Common washer repair parts you may need
Replacing one of these washer parts may fix your problem.
Dispenser Replacement
A faulty washer dispenser can lead to problems such as preventing water from entering the wash tub and incomplete release of detergent, fabric softener, or bleach during the designated stage of the wash cycle. This problem commonly occurs because modern dispenser assemblies integrate water valves. Signs of a defective dispenser include detergent remaining in the dispenser compartment after a cycle, indicating incomplete dispensing. You may also observe either no water or insufficient water in the tub. Additionally, there is a risk of water leaking into the wash tub from the dispenser.
Electronic Control Board Replacement
If the washer has no water, it could be due to a malfunctioning electronic control board. This component controls the water valve, and if it fails, the washer may not receive water as needed. Additionally, the washer may fail to agitate, spin, or drain if the board is faulty.
Water Valve Assembly Replacement
Responsible for controlling the flow of water into the washer, a water valve with blocked inlet screens can prevent the wash tub from filling with either hot water, cold water, or both. Additionally, electrical malfunctions within the valve could hinder its ability to open and allow water to enter the tub. This valve acts as the intermediary between your home's water supply and the washer. A malfunctioning valve may result in leakage either into the tub or at the connection points of the water supply hoses. If you suspect a faulty water valve assembly, it's recommended to have a Sears Home Services professional assess the washer and replace the valve if required.

What to watch for when diagnosing a washer that has no water
Diagnosing today's appliances without the right expertise can pose challenges. Without employing proper diagnostic methods, resolving washer issues often involves replacing parts based on guesswork. Appliances, particularly those developed in the last decade, have become highly sophisticated, with electronic components that are hard to assess. As a result, DIY repairs on newer appliance models are growing more complex.
