I have a friend that has a Maytag stackable washer. A new Timer and a new Fill valve were purchased and I installed them. It still will not fill with water in ANY cycle. No water at all. The washer will spin and drain and that is it. Someone please help, I have worked on these several times over the years and I am stumped on this one. Thank you.
Maytag Stack Washer Not Filling

Hi, There is something called overfill sensor. Maybe it's stuck? Bring out a meter and looking at the schematics, trouble-shoot. I wonder why your friend got new timer and valve? Shot gun method can waste time and money.
Maytag (now owned by Whirlpool) has a number of designs that you might call stackable. A laundry system has a top load washer on the bottom, dryer on top, and the it can't be "unstacked." The Neptune Superstack is a front load washer on bottom, dryer on top, and while they may come into your house unstacked, they can't be operated unstacked. Finally, some Maytag front load washers can have a dryer put on top, but they can be operated side by side as well.
So, which do you have?

Also, if this is a solenoid type valve......when solenoid should be open(energized) you should be able to put a small screwdriver over the top of it, on the metal post, and should feel some magnetism present. If not there, then either the voltage or/return is not present, or the solenoid is defective.
Have you tried both a only cold wash cycle and only a hot wash cycle, and warm?

Did you check the basics, is the water turned on? or is there a kink in the supply hoses from moving the equipment out and back in?
