I have a Whirlpool Washing machine that will not let cold water into

Fairly common...but make sure there's not a plugged filter screen at
the washer inlet, not just at the faucet end of the hose before start
replacing parts...

I believe the filter screen is in the screw-on hose ends. I suggest
replacing the hoses to fix the problem and avoid a future burst.

On our whirlpool (older machine) the filter sits in the machine, and is
easily removed for cleaning. Just turn off the water supply, undo the hose,
pull the filter and clean it, then reverse the process. If the filter isn't
clogged, that is the time to test other things.
