Doesn't matter how you do it, exposing the sensor to a colder temperature than the ambient in your laundry room ... ice pack, ice cubes wrapped in a wash cloth, set a thermal mug in your freezer for a while then place the sensor inside of it, etc. Or, cut out the existing sensor and substitute one that produces the resistance curve the board needs but at a different temperature range so it reads colder than the actual to trick the board into running hot water. You can't run with the J3 connector fully disconnected, it also supplies power to the hot and cold valves. Pulling J3-9 and J3-10 leads out of the connector would cause the controller board to not get any resistance reading at all from the sensor and probably throw a fault code or other issue. The mode shifter functions only to engage or disengage the spin gear onto the drive pulley. There is a "transmission" of sorts that drives the agitator. That's how the VMW design works, no way around it. The upper-model VMAX machines that use the F&P "pancake"-style motor also have a mode shifter, they no longer use the more-simple floating-basket design. | ||

Or find a used Whirlpool/Kenmore/KitchenAid/Roper/Estate/Maytag/Amana/Admiral/etc. direct-drive machine of appropriate feature-set for your needs, and refurb it if necessary while parts are still available. I have a 1999 Kenmore 90 for sale, in excellent condition with the tub support and basket drive/brake/clutch replaced (which means all new bearings), transmission serviced with new agitator shaft, neutral drain kit, and fresh oil. It has selectable ATC for warm and cold but not hard-wired into the timer so you can use it or not. Also a 2002/2003 Whirlpool of the same features and condition (but I didn't do anything to the transmission). You'd have to come to TX to fetch either. | ||
