Chosen Solution
On my Maytag Bravos MVWX700XL0 the cold water has been slow in two houses. I’ve replaced the hoses, screens and now even the cold water inlet valve but the problem persists. The pressure never seemed poor in either location. The hot water flows at a normal rate but even running a hot water cycle can stall during rinse because of the lack of cold water.
The inlet valve works on 120V AC. To find the problem, you are going to have to disconnect the wire leading to the washing machine, and power the solenoid separately. To do this you are going to need a standard 2 prong AC cord. You are going to have to wire the leads to the cold water side of the solenoid. Buy 2 crimp on terminals that plug into the solenoid, and crimping them onto the AC cord. This is dangerous, as you must stay away from the water and electricity at the valve. Every time you plug this in with water make sure that your hands and feet are dry, and not touching the wires. Try it first dry to get a sense of what it sounds like, and then add the water. Start disconnecting the water lines inside the machine to see if you can figure out where the blockage is.
