Washer Fills With The Wrong Water Temperature water

Last Update date : Oct 07. 2020

Wrong Water Temperature

If your washer's water is cold when it's supposed to be warm, or vice versa, check the following:


• Make sure both faucets from the home's water source are turned on fully.

 

• Make sure the temperature selection is correct.

 

• Make sure the hoses are connected to the correct faucets.

 

• Check their water heater. It should be set to deliver a minimum 120° F (49° C) hot water at the tap.

 

• Also, check the water heater capacity and recovery rate. If you have a small water heater and are using a lot of hot water (e.g., maybe someone's taking a long, hot shower), the supply of hot water may be depleted and need time to reheat.

 

• Disconnect the water hoses and clean the inlet filter screens. The hose filter screens may be plugged (see images below).

• As their washer fills, the water temperature may change as the automatic temperature control feature checks incoming water temperature. This is normal.

 

• While the washer fills, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water going through the dispenser when cold or warm wash temperatures are selected. This is a normal function of the automatic temperature control feature.
