well the first thing you have to realize, these valves are restricted to give a luke warm temp if Warm is selected...and by that, the opening from each side is not equal, more of a 70/30 mix...a few of us have taken out the screen and carefully drilled the hot side to the same opening as the cold side....now an equal 50/50 mix...
most all new valves, including replacements, have this 70/30 mix built in.....now, if you can find one of the older styles, that are full flow, you might get better results... my water heater is set to 180, so your right, water temp should not affect the valve... my unit is a bit older, but the fill flume allowed water to run on the clothes, and also run behind the inner tub, sometimes it did seem to trickle in......again, I took it off, used sealant to block off the rear opening, so all water flow fell onto the clothing... | ||

you know what.....in another thread, we were discussing this....in that the screen on the hot side was getting clogged with debris from the water heater....causing the water flow restriction down to a trickle.... just curious to remove the hoses from the back of your machine, just to rule out that their not clogged.... never hurts to install screen filters at the valves on the wall.....a lot easier to clean and replace if needed.... keep us posted..... | ||
