Question posted by boatinbob on April 4th, 2013

Why Does The Hot Water Setting Deliver Pulsation Of Warm Water?

When water temp switch is set to hot, the hot water runs for a few seconds and then the cold water solenoid is somehow activated too, thereby supplying warm water for a few seconds. This pulsation continues in about 5 second intervals until the water level is reached.

Hello boatinbob – Based on the symptoms you are describing, typically, that is a normal operation of the washer. It helps the unit reach appropriate water temperature. The water will not get fully hot because it would cause the clothing and detergent to scorch. Therefore, the unit mixes the water to reach a safe temperature setting. However, if the washer is not operating correctly, it is always a good idea to have a service tech properly diagnose your appliance.
