When the washer is set for "cold water wash" no water enters the tub. I verified the water source: No kinks in the hose, disconnected the hose from the supply tab, opened the tap and cold water comes in. When the hot water tap is on, hot water enters the tub when set on "cold water". Is there a valve specifically controlling the "cold water" ? Do you have it available? At what cost? Do you ship to canada?
For model number MEX731CAS1
PartSelect logo
Hello Jacques, thank you for your inquiry. There is a water inlet valve that controls the water flow to the appliance (PartSelect number PS12337857). Unfortunately, this part has been discontinued at the manufacturing level, with no known replacement. We recommend contacting the manufacturer of your appliance directly to inquire as to what a replacement part number may be. We hope this helps.

Drum belt broke
Removed the front Dryer panel. Left drum in place and lifted it up slightly to get access to motor drive. Slipped belt in place and put panel back on.
This was a first attempt ever at fixing an appliance and it was no big deal.

Leaking washing machine; water would not shut off on fill up and rinse
Replacing the switch is relatively easy, however, I would caution all experiencing similar problems one thing. Before assuming, as I did, that the switch was bad, first remove the panel of the washer that houses the washing tub/basin. On the back of the tub, check to make sure that the tube connecting the tub and switch has not come off from the tub as it did in my situation. The solution to my problem of a leaking washing machine where the water would not stop filling on both wash and rinse cycles was simply reattaching the tube to the tub. If I would have checked that first, total job completion time would have been under 15 minutes. Hope this helps. If you need to replace the actual switch, remove the knobs, screws, and panel. Remove the wires, tube, and screw from the switch and reassemble new switch. That took me about 30-45 minutes.

Lid Lock Assembly broke
The Lid Lock Assembly came super fast! The install would have been flawless, but the "pre-drilled" holes on the new Lid Lock Assembly were way to small. We found that out after we had reconnected the wires and gotten it into place. Aside from that small set back, the install went great! This repair is definitey not one that you would need to pay a repair person to do!
