 SwedUSA/Robert ... some hot water may be added on Warm (and Cold) in your winter season if your tap-cold supply gets low enough but probably not during the summer. I'll hazard a guess that the target temp for Warm on Normal is probably 70°F to 75°F. Medium Hot probably is 80°F to 85°F. As Reply #2 advises, the designated Normal cycle is the basis for EnergyStar testing and is the most restricted on temperature. Choose other cycles to get higher temperatures. The only way to know is try them all on all the temperature choices. Warm on Delicate possibly is warmer than Warm on Normal. | ||

Little Or No Hot Water On A New FL Washer I would only use the normal cycle on a new energy-star washer if you are only trying to make your clothing damp, not do any serious cleaning.
Use one of the longer cycles and I would only use HOT water period, you will not ruin your new black jeans or your hand made wool sweaters in this washer on the hot setting.
Many clean cycles use cold water, if you use your washer properly there should never be a reason to use the clean cycle. After having my SQ FL washer for over 15 years now I have never even thought about cleaning it in anyway other than wiping off the top of the machine, and I still love the fresh new smell of the interior of the washer when I open the door.
If you use liquid fabric softener or even dryer sheets you mush wash your clothing in pretty warm or hot water or the softening agents will build up in your clothing and in the machine and cause mold and washer damage, heavy mold build-up can destroy a washing machine in as little as 5 years.
You can also protect your washer and keep it clean by always using chlorine bleach in loads that can take a little bleaching, and always use it when washing the dogs towels and cleaning clothes etc.

If you want faster water coverage, upgrade to the front load turbowash360 model. | ||

Turbowash 360 model is what I wanted originally (3900). It was out of the budget, unfortunately. | ||
