Thermostat adjustment on LG FL |
[Down to Last] |  |

I'm fed up with the ATC on my LG WM2050. Now that the weather is cooler, even with running the hot water at the adjacent utility sink, Hot is barely warm, warm is basically cold and tap cold is very cold. I've even tried shutting off the cold line to the machine during a hot fill but the machine will not let the timer advance. It just keeps waiting for the cold water.
Any way the thermostat can be adjusted to get hot water in the machine? Any other suggestions? Thanks! | ||

How are you feeding the water into the machine? Are you feeding water into both Hot and Cold water inlets? | ||

Normal Plumbing Connections
I'm using the normal hot and cold water inlets. In addition to running the water at the sink, I've also tried priming the machine itself by starting a hot cycle then stopping, draining and starting the machine again with clothes. It still never wants washer to truly fill the washer with just hot tap water (what I want, no dilution with cold).

Only one regret...
Not getting the model with an internal water heater. I find it generally cleans well, is extremely quiet and is very frugal on water. The problem is it uses such little water that the hot water doesn't have time to get really hot before it is done filling. I have to run the hot water in the adjacent utility sink to help the situation. (I use this water in the yard but it defeats the purpose of a HE water saving unit.). Because of this and the frustrating ATC blending of cold/hot even on the Hot cycle Hot turns out to be just warm.

His machine does not have a heater. Could you start it filling, then interrupt it, open the door and add hot water manually? | ||

Temp woes...
Opening the door and adding water doesn't work with this model. Immediately after closing the door and restarting it will pump out the extra water. I have been able to successfully add water via the detergent drawer when it is running. The most you can add without it knowing (and then initiating a drain) is about two gallons.
I got an incredible deal on this machine. I have seen a similar one with an internal heater on sale and am tempted to go buy it and stop having to fool this one. I have a friend who needs a new machine and would be content with my current machine. Thanks for all the advice! | ||
