Washer Water is The Wrong Temperature

All water valves have filter screens to prevent particles from clogging it up, or worse yet preventing the valve from closing. For added protection and easier access, some fill hoses may have screens added to the hose washers/gaskets where the fill hose connects to the home’s hot or cold shut-off valve. The screens in the water valve and hoses should be checked and cleaned if necessary. Unplug the machine. Turn off the water supply valves. Get a bucket to catch the remaining water in the hoses. Unthread the hoses from your machine and check to see if there is a clog in the filter. A simple cleaning may do the trick to get your washer working again.

The water inlet valve is connected to the homes water supply with fill hoses. If the fill hoses are not connected properly, cold from the water inlet valve to the cold supply valve and hot from the hot water inlet valve to the hot water supply valve the wash and rinse temperatures will be reversed. Check that the fill hoses are connected correctly. There are usually markings next to the water inlet valve connections for the hot (H) and cold (C) designations.
