It's probably not the valve that's causing your problem. If it's your clothes washer that you're referring to...push-pull valves aren't used.
Most likely your cold water supply input screen is clogged. To check this, turn off the cold water supply behind the washer. Disconnect the hose at the washer and check the screen. You'll most likely find it clogged with minerals. Clean it with an old toothbrush and you're good to go!
