I wonder if the valve simply has a restrictor on the hot side that could be removed or drilled out? |

I think I saw you do this before, where is this valve and what size bit did you use to get more hot water? I have to buy a new washer and may have to do the same thing. Thanks for your help. |

What would that do to the rinse, just take longer to fill? |

I just took both screens out, and tried several drill bits until I found one that matched the COLD side...and then carefully drilled the HOT side....making them both equal...remember to put the screens back in place...I never took the valve out of the machine to do this.....
now I am curious if I could have went a little larger and increased flow volume to fill faster.... |

I did this a year ago on the Whirlpool we have at work for washing shop towels.
See see below......
