John W. March 15, 2012 for Model Number MTW5840TWD Our washing machine water temperature does not fill according to seleted temperature. You can hear the water switch back and forth while it is filling. It will wash in hot if you select cold, and it will rinse in hot. How do I know if it is the temp switch or the water valve inlet that is no working?
1 Answer Hello John. Check and make sure the hoses are installed correct on the washer. If so, then it sounds like the water valve WP3979346 will need to be replaced because the thermistor is bad. Hope this helps. Read More...
Chad February 29, 2012 for Model Number wpl I am having trouble getting my washer apart to replace the temp switch. How do I get access to the switch? I do not think the back panel comes out.
1 Answer Hello Chad. There is either two screws in the back corcers or front corners, or two clips under the front corners of the control panel. Once removed, the control panel will pull forward and flip backwards. Now you can access and replace the temp switch WP8578335. Hope this helps. Read More...
Don February 10, 2012 for Model Number mtw5840tw0 I have 4 water temp setting . Cold stays hot but the rest switch back switch bad?
1 Answer Hello Don. If the switch WP8578335 sends power to the hot valve instead of the cold, you will need to replace the switch. 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 Read More...
Mason October 20, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore 29622801 I have 4 water temp. setting. When on tap cold-OK when on cool- pipes make a noise. when on warm- pipes make a noise. when on - hot-OK. Washer is only 18 months old.
1 Answer Hello Mason. If the pipes inside the home are making noise, it is from the water pressure, and not the washer. On cool and warm, the washer does not require a full flow of water, it draws from both the hot and cold pipes. Hope this helps. Read More...
