Bob, what happens when you try to fill the machine for a warm wash, then switch the temperature selector to hot? Do you have separate controls for rinse temperature selection or are all rinses warm?
You may have a bad water valve - not uncommon if it's one of the older thermostatic ones. This is the 'cause of death' that I've observed in several of my older washers that had the thermostatic valves - rinses defaulted to hot at all times. |
