The mod I had provided would make rinse temp the same as whatever you selected for wash, hot-warm-cold. Being able to select different temps for wash and rinse is a whole nother ballgame. | ||

Thanks for the replies!:D
Diagrams not behind the console as it should be. The machines an early 2013 model but was a scratch and dent return/repair. Works fine however. I think you guys know me well already, Im trying to figure out how to get the machine to automatically do warm rinses when selected, (ie, hot warm and warm warm like the older vintage machines)without any adapters or Y hoses. On my daily driver(2010 DD Kenmore) from the wiring and cycle diagrams I was able to cut in a selector switch that overrides the ATC for full hot washes and warm rinses when needed, and of course back to normal. The dumbed down hot, cool warm and all cold rinse are just insanity. The speed queen looks a lot simpler, so far no ATC board that I can see and no sensors around the water valves, so far a big plus in my opinion. Cold water rinses and washes are not really a problem during the summer but around here the city water goes down to 34 degrees during the winter. Water that cold does not rinse Tide or Purex out to well, even the natural real soaps have a hard time getting out of the fabric. | ||

Adding A Warm Rince Option To A New SQ TL Washer It should be quite easy to just install a toggle switch on the rear of the control panel that also turns on the hot valve coil when ever just the cold would be activated.
I don't know where you live but we sometimes get water here that comes into the house under 40 degrees F in the winter and I have actually found it rinses detergent and bleach out better that much warmer water and wish I could have colder rinse water all year, it is also much better for fabrics and for reducing wrinkling and keeping any residual bacteria for multiplying in the clothing and washer till the clothing go in the dryer. I do agree if you are actually using real soap a rinse temperature over 70 degrees F would probably work better. | ||

The water in my area does drop below 40 unfortunately in the dead of winter. I do use real soap with work clothes and sheets which I know does better in warm rinses. I would also say it looks like regular tide performs better in a cool rinse than a cold one. Just my experience. I put the clothes immediately in the dryer, bacteria is not a concern to me.
I was expecting the fill valves to be dumbed down, even in the 90s I was seeing smaller hot orifices. I do have fill valves from the 80s though in case the dumbed down warm gets to be to much of a problem. My plan is to put something in that will automatically switch hot to warm and warm to warm when selected and back to default when needed. | ||

If time is important I'd recommend drilling out the valve. It cut washer fill times by about 1/3 on our machine. | ||

That would be fine and would allow you to select cold or warm rinse. | ||

Why do you say it doesn't fit the AWN432 entirely? | ||

Mine has 2 wires going to a switch on front "extra rinse", not full blown different, but just a few wires are going to a few different spots on the timer. My concern though is my machine seems to have "extra rinse" after each cycle, which means the timer is a different model which worries me if the water fill contacts are cycled in the same manner as the above chart or if there is a 3rd contact in the timer in series with the extra rinse switch which closes to fill up for a final rinse. (violet wire for the cold goes back into the timer where it might also connect to an internal jumper to the extra rinse switch or the like)
Just don't want to cut the wrong wires and find latter something is not right. But anyways, thanks for the help! :) | ||

The only thing the extra rinse switch does in these models is allow the timer to continue running til it gets to the fill portion of the extra rinse cycle. It has no function in the actual filling stage. | ||
