My speed queen has a problem with the inlet of cold water ?

In the back of the cold water hose connection there is a small gauze filter. Check is is clear of limescales and debris. While the hose is off, hold the hose in a bucket and have someone else turn the stop valve on. Don't try and do it yourself. If you have good water flow and a new water inlet valve, it can only be the wiring or the control board / connections to it.

Check your water pressure. If it's too high, that's exactly what will happen... Inlet valves will wear out.

the valve filter is blocked up

turn off the hot water supply and remove the hoze from the machine end valve inlet
in the inlet is a small filter remove it and clean it

if its not too bad perhaps the valves solinoid coil has shorted turns
and wont open fast or fully
check the outlet preasure of hot water from the hoze to a bucket
see it flows fast ..

You either have a water pressure/flow problem or the inlet screen in your inlet valve is clogged. Remove the cold water hose and use a bucket to check if you have good pressure and flow. If that is good, look and clean the inlet valve screen for debris. Hope this helps.

The dual inlet water valve has a failed solenoid on the hot side.

Turn off the water supply to the washer, and disconnect the inlet hoses, then check the filters in the inlet to the valves.
Also make sure the hoses are not kinked or perished.

Make sure water valve/tap is fully turned on.
If it is, then turn off, and remove inlet pipe to washer, and check the filter in the hose or the valve, i9f clean, then could be a faulty inlet valve.

All top suspend tub washers drop down when they fill with water. And they rise again when they have pumped the water out. This is normal.
What is not normal is water not coming in.'

check following:
Water is turned on
Remove inlet hose and run water to see if it is blocked.
Clean the inlet filters.
If you hear a buzz but no water goes in the inlet valve needs replacing.
If yu use only cold water try swapping the cold hose onto the Hot inlet. Then select Warm Wash.
Then only turn on the Cold Tap.
This will allow you to fill the machine and do a wash.
Watch out though when it comes to the Rinse position......some machines only do a cold rinse, and because you have swapped the hose over to hot it will not fill to rinse the clothes. Until you can get a Tech to do the repair you can just use either a bucket to add cold water for the rinse or use the garden hose to fill the tub with cold water for the rinse.
Have yu got all that?

If screen and water pressure are ok then the cold water solenoid valve assembly could be partically clogged. The older ones could be taken apart and cleaned. I cannot say if yours can be cleaned.
