Re: Whirlpool AWG5122 .. too much water

Is this machine a top loader or a front loader?
It is a front end loader.
The valve has two solenoids, one for each compartment. From my playing around with the controls it looks like the water supply to compartment one switches off when I switch the power off, (so that seems OK) but the water to compartment two keeps going when I switch the power off. (Seems to be a fault) – I have to then switch off at the stop cock.
That seems to reset the valve to the closed position. I can then open the valve, and if the controls have been set to zero, no water will go through the valve until I select a program and swich the ‘on’ switch on.
Have been looking at other washing machine (dual solenoid) cold water fill and then two solenoids to control the water to both compartments.
Could we disconnect one solenoid? (will the machine get enough water to wash)Could we connect both wires to the solenoid that’s working to see if that is the problem (all the water will go to compartment one) – the downside is shorting the control board.
If the valve looks similar does it matter about the make … will the solenoids work on similar voltages? Have noticed several similar looking on ebay … or the generic one <a href=" here

If the only way you can stop it overfilling is by turning the tap off then the you have a faulty fill valve.
Tried another wash … switched off the power and it carried on filling. It makes a horrible sound and starts draining … keeps filling from compartment 2 … have to control the water at the stop cock.
Will see if I’m able to remove the valve and replace it. Will the generic one (advertised here at about £5) be OK ?

Did give them a ring on the number quoted and they will be sending a manual … but as iadom says it is probably a user manual.
What does the two center lights flashing mean ?Is that a coded signal ?

Is it hot & cold or cold fill only?
I have not tried switching off the power during the fill cycle.
It’s cold fill only.
Re: Whirlpool AWG5122 .. too much water
I put the model number in the commercial code box and got this result.
(12NC) 853722915001 (Commercial Code) AWG 5122
Which downloads the Wine Chiller.
Should I use a different number?
Re: Whirlpool AWG5122 .. too much water
Hi Don,
Thanks for the link but when I do download I get the instructions for a Wine Chiller ???
