Yeah, this is one of my biggest pet peeves with the LG. I do what Trok_99 does: I choose the Sanitary Cycle first and then switch to whatever cycle I want but the LG always fills with cold water for the first 5 seconds. I received after much haggling and threatening, a tech sheet from them indicating what all the temperature presets are. If you select HOT the machine will fill with hot water until it reaches 50C then mix in cold water until it reaches 40C, then it will switch back to HOT. By then, everything has cooled down. I've tried filling the machine throught the dispenser, which feels truly ridiculous and I've accidently triggered the "oversudsing protocol" a couple of times. The machine is very sensitive to tampering. I considered connecting the HOT and COLD inlets to a faucet that I could selectively make only hot, but I was afraid it would totally freak-out the computer and I'd have to pay for 13 years of Freudian Analysis for my washing machine. The presets are: HOT: 50 40 WARM:35 30 COLD:25 20 I much prefer the system on the MIELE and the Asko where you actually choose a temperature point for the water (usually from 60F to 200F). By the way, for those of you who own LG's: you can test your interior water temperature by pressing and holding down the "WATER TEMP" selector button on the panel. It will display in "C" the actual water temperature inside the machine. Yeah, big whoop. | ||

They usually connect an outside hose bib (outside water faucet) to 2 water hoses. They are sold at any hardware store and only cost a few dollars. They are used when one needs to connect 2 hoses to one hose bib (outside water faucet). Buy the kind that has a shut off for each hose. Anyway hook one to the main hot and one to the main cold water line in your launder area. This will give you four male connections (2 hot and 2 cold). Hook your washer’s hot hose to one of the hot male ends. Hook your washer’s cold hose to one of the cold male ends. Then run another washer hose from the remaining hot male end to the remaining male cold end which will connect them together. When you want to fill only w/ hot: 1. Close the main cold water valve. In the picture it’s the red knob on the right. 2. Open all of the quart turn “Y” valves. In the picture they are black. 3. Open the main hot water valve. In the picture it is the red valve on the left. 4. Start your cycle. 5. After the washer fills for the wash, shut the 2 quarter turn valves that connect the washer hose from the cold to hot off. Then open the main cold water valve.

Don't know if this applies,but Miele tech support told us that incoming hot water shouold not reach more than about 120F, preferably 100F. Apparenlty "hot" water can damage the water inlet valves over time. In fact our Miele owner's manual tells one to install the washer either as a cold fill only, or to cold and "warm" water. Contacted Miele because during the winter when the boilers are working to produce heat as well as hot water, the latter can become VERY hot out of the tap. Tested once it ranged from 130F to 140F. | ||
