Default Water Won't Pump In
Brand: Frigidaire
Model Number: fwx445rfs3
Age: 5 - 10 years

My washer will not pump the water in. It makes a humming noise like it is trying to pump it in. The water connections are connected and the water is on the on position. The power is plugged in. My neighbor said I need a solenoid but the parts guy nearest to me said there are two solenoids to that washer. I am confused. Will you help?

There are two solenoids in washers. Each one operates an inlet valve. One for hot water and one for cold water. They are usually made together and it sounds like yours could be bad.
