I'm sorry to hear about the issue with your Kenmore washer. Let's try to troubleshoot the problem and find a solution for you. When a washer stops dispensing cold water in all cycles, there are a few potential causes. Here are some steps you can take to diagnose and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Check the water supply: Make sure that the cold water supply to the washer is turned on and the water pressure is adequate. Sometimes, a partially closed or malfunctioning water supply valve can restrict the flow of cold water.

2. Clean or replace the inlet filters: Over time, sediment or debris from the water supply can clog the inlet filters of the washer. These filters are located on the back of the machine where the water hoses connect. Turn off the water supply, detach the hoses, and inspect the filters. Clean or replace them if necessary.

3. Test the water inlet valve: The water inlet valve controls the flow of water into the washer. If it's malfunctioning, it may not be allowing cold water to enter the machine. You can test the valve using a multimeter to see if it's receiving the proper electrical signal. If it's not, you may need to replace the valve.

4. Consider the temperature selector switch: The temperature selector switch on your washer controls the water temperature for each cycle. If it's faulty, it may not be engaging the cold water intake properly. Check if the switch moves freely between temperature settings and replace it if needed.

If you're comfortable with performing these steps yourself, go ahead and give them a try. However, always prioritize your safety and if you're unsure, it's best to consult a professional technician who can diagnose and fix the problem for you.
