Washer Fridgedaire cold water is not working?

So far I've switch cold and hot water hoses and they seem to be working fine for hot selection only. The cold water is not working only if I switch the hose. I can't tell if it's the inlet take valve or the solenoid that switches over from hot to warm to cold. Any help will be appreciatedWasher Fridgedaire cold water is not working?
iTS PROBABLY the mixing valve...most oh them are blue and they are easy to get too.....try spraying some silicone in it as you work the selector switch...good luck.....ps take the hose loose on the col water side of washer and spray it inWasher Fridgedaire cold water is not working?
Yes, likely the mixing valve. But depending on the model some washers have a selector switch and some have temperature sensors that also control the valve. I'm not sure on Frigidaire and you didn't give your model.





Also the timer controls the valve too since it must have different temps for wash and rinse cycles.





Make sure the screen in the valve isn't just plugged up.





Good Luck.
Before checking anything else, disconnect the cold water hose from the washer. There should be a small screen filter on that connection. Replace or clean it and reconnect the hose. Sometimes this little filter gets clogged and doesn't allow the cold water into the machine.
