Dwpeoples for Model Number 10182983120 I have a Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care Heavy Duty 80 Series top loading washing machine. The Electric Temperature Control has 3 settings, Warm-Warm; Cold-Cold; Warm-Cold; and the Water Temperature Control has 6 settings: Hot-Warm, Warm-Warm; Cold-Cold; Warm-Cold; Hot-Cold and Warm-Cold. Regardless of which of the 9 setting is used the only water used in the wash and rinse cycles is HOT. What is the SOLUTION: Clean something, what? Replace somethingm what? I just remembered I have not checked the valves on the water inlets, but the person from whom we purchased the used washer installed it and I'm sure he turned on the cold water valve.
Answer Hello Dwpeoples. You really need to take pliers, a bucket and a towel to the back hoses of the machine. Turn the water valves off. Use a mirror/ flashlight to see if the hoses were hooked correctly according to the stamped markings on the back of the cabinet. Unhook them from the machine one by one and flush them out making sure the water is of good pressure. Clean out any debris on the inlet valve screens. Water valve is part # 285805. Keep both house valves on/ balancing pressure so water is mixed correctly. In between the water valve and the fill flume is a water inlet temperature sensor part # is 3352282. This part senses temperature so the water valve correctly sends the correct temp. Thank you. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Saturday, September 24, 2011
