Is there a way to easily modify the Rinse to provide Hot or Warm rinse? |

No, you would have only hot rinse, hot wash when set to cold, cold wash when set to hot, and warm wash when set to warm. |

That seems like s simple enough hack to do. If you want a warm rinse all you have to do is turn the water temp knob to warm during the spin between wash and 1st rinse. |

If you chose to go the wiring modification route, the temperature for rinse will always be the same as the wash temp. So, basically, once your machine starts washing, reset the temp knob to the desired rinse temp and your done. No need to run back at the end of the first spin and reset the timer or fool with any hoses. It is the best solution in my opinion.

i think the only way you could get a hot wash + warm rinse would be for you to look into buying a vintage machine or earlier models thats still have that option as not much washer has that option anymore sadly like this washer or earlier speed queen models that have 5 temp from cold to hot water wash including warm rinse credit to the original picture taker for the pic i am using

Current SQ TL washers use a 30/70 inlet valve that gives 30% hot water when both coils are energized.
Unless you have free solar heated hot water a warm rinse in any washer and especially a TL washer wastes far too much energy [ Global Warming Is Real ] A warm rinse also allows bacteria etc to thrive in your clean laundry and in the washer itself. It is also harder to rinse out detergent in warm or hot water, there is a reason that NO detergent manufacturer OR washer manufacturer recommends ANYTHING except a COLD rinse for ALL laundry loads. |

My duet washer i have a whirlpool duet washer thats all cold rinse and i notice because of the all cold rinse that my dryer takes longer drying a load when its rinse in cold water and if you look credit to gansky1 for the pic i am using look at the temp button you will see that it has a wam rinse option with a hot water wash as well as a warm wash warm rinse

thefixer: THANK YOU. About how long of a jump is it from the timer connector to the temp switch? |

Post a pic of your machines wiring diagram if you need a conversion. :)
If you truly are not getting any hot water in the wash fill your fill valve screens may be clogged. If your not getting any hot water in the rinse, that is normal. All the Speed Queens that I know of fill with tap cold in the rinse cycle. |
