I am betting the hoses need to be reversed. In any of the newer machines, when you wash with cold, you rinse with cold. But when you was with either warm or hot, the rinse is still cold.
I can't speak for all brands but I've owned a good number and worked on several and they worked that way. Some of the high end models have a setting for a rinse temp but they seem to be quite rare. Before I paid for a service call or bought a new unit I'd switch the hoses at the wall faucets because they are going to be easier to work with. Just shut the faucets off, then even though it sounds silly, set the washer and start it for a second or 2. Nothing will happen but it will take the pressure off of the hoses and you won't get sprayed when you loosen them. Now with the machine off again, just reverse the hoses on the faucets and try it again. Oh yeah, remember to turn the water on again at the faucets. ----- Original Message ----- From: Claudia To: Claudia Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 9:56 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Washer Questions! Okay Everyone, I know that I've had lots of questions this week! It's been brought to my attention that our washer may have been set up wrong or defective, from the get-go, but we never realized it until now! Our washing machine has three water temperature settings: hot, warm and cold! If we initially want to wash a load in cold, the water goes into the machine cold. However, when the rinse cycles begin and the initial water has been expelled from the machine and it is filling for the rinse cycles, the water comes out steaming hot! This is the same with all cycles! If I start with hot initially, the rinse cycles are hot, of course, and that makes sense. If I start with warm initially, the rinse cycles also fill the washer with hot water, but you would think the water would be warm or cold, depending on the initial setting it was placed on! Is this normal because I'm told that it's not! I'm told that when washing in cold, the rinse cycles should also be cold, in warm, the rinse cycles should be warm, etc. Claudia Join either of my groups; the first is for visually-impaired women, while the other is for people wishing to discuss homemaking issues.
