For Whirlpool Washer Water Temperature Switch - 4 Button, White (Part Number: OEM18019014)

Juan, my bet is on the water valve! This model of washer has a valve with a thermistor to assure water temp correctness. The tech sheet located in the washer will give you the values to measure for that thermistor. The water valve is part [12002158]. Thanks for the question.

Hello Laura. Check for a wiring issue first. If none is found, then you will test the temp switch for continuity. If it checks bad, replace it. If it checks good, you may need to replace the timer on the unit.

Hello Dwayne. This unit uses a thermistor in the water valve 12002158. It distributes the water temperature according to the setting. You will need to test and see if there is power going to the hot water valve, when the machine is set on rinse. If not, and the hot water is coming in, you will need to replace the water valve. If there is power to the hot valve on a cold rinse, you will need to replace the temperature switch WP22002999. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello Bob. You will need to remove the three screws across the back of the control panel. Then rock the panel forward and lift the control panel out of the top of the unit. Now you can access the switch. You will need to unplug the wires going to the switch and install them onto the new switch. Remove the old switch and install in reverse order with the new switch. Hope this helps.

Hello Patrick! Is cold water coming into the unit on the other cycles? If not, you will need to replace the water valve. If it is, then you will need to replace the switch. We will need your appliance serial number to verify the correct part numbers as there is a series change. Thanks.
