Can anyone suggest a reasonable Whirlpool Repair company for my washing machine? , or suggestions on how to do a quick fix? My rinse cycle does not work, cold water does not run and I can only do laundry in HOT water....
Steve Wherli of Wherli Services in Naperville is fantastic. He can fix anything -- fairly and resonably priced too! Good luck.
I would say take the hose off the hot water tap and put it on the cold water tap. All your clothes can be washed in cold but very few will survive the hot water wash and rinse.

No cold water or no hot water - The fill valve has two coils, one for the hot water and one for the cold water. It is possible that one of the coils can fail and you loose that filling ability. If the cold water coil quits, the hot will still work and during warm fill you will get hot water only and during a cold fill you will get no water at all. If the hot coils quits, you will still have cold water fill, cold water only on a warm setting and no water on a hot fill setting.

You can test a fill valve live for 120 volts, power to a fill valve coil and no fill = a bad fill valve. You can also test the coils for continuity, no continuity = a bad fill valve. Some Maytag washers have a fuse in the fill valve circuit, if this fuse let go the washer will not fill. Fill valves can also from time to time stick open and not stop filling. If you have to shut off the fill valves to stop the water from filling in the washer, you have a bad fill valve and you will have to replace it.
There are lots of different things on google so I dont think its a quick fix kinda thing, sorry :(
