Testing
To test operation of water inlet valve, place the leads of a volt meter across the termina{s of the solenoid in any fill phase of the operating cycle where the water inlet valve should be energized If the meter indicates tine voltage, water should flow into the tub If water does not flow into the tub, either the water inlet valve is defective or the water supply is inadequate Make certain the hot water faucet is fully on If the water supply is not at fault, the water inlet valve is defective
