Maytag washer cold water wash cycle won't fill??

i have maytag top loader washer (lat5005aaw). it has 3 different wash/rinse cycles...hot/cold, warm/cold and cold/cold. the hot/cold cycle wks fine, the warm/cold cycle only has hot during wash and cold during rinse. the cold/cold cycle has no cold water during wash (it doesn't fill w/water) BUT does fill w/cold water during rinse. i've replaced the hoses, they were old. the faucets are turned on. and i replaced the intake valve, which didn't help. any ideas? i'd rather not replace the timer ($$$). is there a way of testing it first. i have a volt/ohm/amp meter... tiaMaytag washer cold water wash cycle won't fill??
Its nothing to do with your cold water input. You're looking for a problem in your electrical controls. It likely is your timer. I cant say how to test it without looking at it but if you open the panel up where the controls are you will probably find the wiring schematic. Follow it out and see what controls the cold water on the wash cycle and what controls it on the rinse. See what the difference is and check it out. Be careful if you test it yourself. you will need someone with you just in case. Good luck.
