So, if I flip my selector switch over to hot/cold wash, and it begins to fill with straight hot water, there is a very very slow fill rate (perhaps a gallon/2 minutes); that can't be normal.

I removed the hot water line and checked it (aimed it into washer basin and open the line) and it flows like a gallon in 15 seconds.

I noticed there is a sieve filter at the junction which cannot be removed (seemingly), but it didn't seem too filled up with stuff.

So, just changed the valve or there something else to it? I saw the page with instructions.

Thanks.
