Mike December 14, 2023 for Model Number MET3800TW1 Washer rinses hot, hot and cold seems to be reversed sometimes. Hoses are not reversed, inlet screens are free of debris. Water inlet valve is receiving power to both the hot and cold side. how do I test the thermister and temperature selector switch?
1 Answer Mike, the thermistor on the water valve WP3979345 can be tested for resistance from the purple wire to the orange wire on the temperature selector switch W11103599. However, the thermistor does not commonly fail and the most likely cause of failure would be the temperature selector switch. Read More...
Sam October 17, 2021 for Model Number wtw4855HW2 My washer is switching between hot and cold when filling on the hot setting. The water in the basin is warm not hot. Model Number WTW4855HW2
1 Answer Sam, this model is designed to use the cold water valve even when set to hot and the water will be cooler than what would be expected. If the water temperature is more than 15°F cooler from the water heater temperature setting, the thermister of the valve assembly W11038689 would need to be tested for resistance. It should measure 62K Ohms at 68°F, 50K Ohms at 77°F, 40K Ohms at 86°F, and 33K Ohms at 95°F. If the thermistor tests good, then the main control W11498190 would be the likely failure. Read More...
Dutch March 19, 2019 for Model Number met3800two When starting my washer, the water comes on /off on /off, but in cold it works ok. I replaced the water valve and the power is coming on /off to the valve from the temperature switch. Is the temperature switch bad?
1 Answer Dutch, the temperature switch is going to operate the hot valve during any temperature selection other than cold wash as this is how it maintains the temperature. As the cold valve is turning off, the hot valve should be engaging. If the hot valve is not receiving voltage when the cold water is cycled off, then the temperature switch [W11103599] would be the issue. Read More...
Hal C December 28, 2017 for Model Number MET3800TWO Cold water intake not working properly. When turn know to rinse (which should be cold), no water comes in. When you go to start a regular wash on warm or hot, it goes fine but no water on rinse (as it wants cold water). When you start a way cycle on cold/cold, it fills for maybe ten seconds and stops. Have pulled supply lines and cleaned strainers. Expect it is a faulty temp-switch?
1 Answer Hal, You will want to check to see if there is 120 vac getting to the water valve. If it is getting proper power then this will be a faulty water valve. if there is no power then the temp switch would most likely be the issue. Read More...
Justin August 11, 2017 Hot and cold are reversed on my Whirlpool stackable washing machine. I've tried switching the intake hoses twice now and nothing changes. I wouldn't care because I can just use the dial backwards (hot if i want cold and vice-versa), except it always rinses with hot. I wasn't able to locate a model no, but I found this part number on it for a Temp Switch (I think) W10114118
1 Answer Hello Justin. If you switched the hoses around on the back of the washer, it should resolve the issue. The washer should be set up to power the cold water valve on all rinses. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Ben May 05, 2017 for Model Number wet3300sq1 When I start the washing machine it acts like the valves are opening and closing while letting the water in...Doesn't matter when I change the temperature setting.. It still behaves in this manner.... on/off on/off on/off Very strange....Also It does not fill with water when it goes into rinse cycle... in fact the valves don't even open...It seems that everything else works...it will spin and drain...Could it be just the Temperature switch, the solenoids, or the timer...My money is on the Temperature switch...Please let me know before I order.. Thanks
1 Answer Ben, You will want to check the screws on the water valve to make sure that they are not clogged and if they heck ok then the valve would be the most likely issue. Read More...
Yamil May 23, 2016 for Model Number WET3300SQ0 Hi I am watching my washing machine only works with cold water despite having hot water supply. Turn the knob to warm and hot water and cold water just enter. The strange thing is that putting it in hot water also enters cold water. Check the valve and solenoids are OK, check the power supply to the valve and note that only reaches current terminal cold water, switch the terminal cold water and connect to the solenoid hot water and it worked perfectly, but by connecting the terminal to the solenoid hot water cold water, did nothing. will the temperature switch is damaged or have something to do with the thermistor valve? Thank and advance
1 Answer Yamil, The most likely cause for your unit only filling with cold water will be a faulty temperature control switch. Read More...
Katie March 19, 2016 for Model Number Whirlpool Ywet3300sq1 Hi, we have a whirlpool stackable set (model Ywet3300sq1) and over the past few months the cold and hot water was reversed on occasion - now it is all the time, with boiling hot water coming out on the cold setting. Unfortunately because all temperature cycles have a "cold water rinse" all my clothes are being washed in boiling water. Originally the water lines were hooked up wrong. We corrected that issue and it seemed fine. But then every few cycles the water temperature would go off again - and then it would be fine. We replaced the temperature switch, but it is still coming out with the wrong temperature of water. That didn't seem to correct the issue at all. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Katie, You will want to check to make sure that the wires connected to the valve are not reversed. On one of the harnesses there is a Yellow wire with a red stripe which will go to the cold water valve. Make sure that the wires are not crossed. It is possible that you received a fautly ATC switch W11103599 but would be more likely the wires reversed at the valve. Read More...
Owen September 04, 2015 for Model Number YWET3300SQ2 My water is warm whether I set the temperature as Cold, Warm, or Hot. I already double checked the hose connection to ensure Hot and Cold hook up is correct. To diagnose the issue, I manually shut down the cold water, and the water became hot. But as long as both lines are connected, the wash cycle is only dispensing warm water in all the settings. Will this Thermal Switch fix the above issue? Could it be the valve in the back of the washer where the hose connect has gone bad?
1 Answer Hello Owen. This model uses a valve WP3979345 with a thermistor. It is designed to mix the hot and cold no matter the settings on it. If this problem just started, then you can replace the temp switch, but keep in mind, even if set to cold, it will mix in hot to break the soap down. Thanks. Read More...
Paul Howarth September 06, 2014 for Model Number WET3300SQ1 I successful got the W10014118 switch replaced. The water temp is still mixed up. Hot is Warm. Then Hot is Cold, etc. Then Warm comes out Hot. (I am POSITIVE) the water hoses are connected correctly). Is there something else besides the ATC which determines correct water temp? Or should I try another new ATC W10014118 switch?
1 Answer Paul, With the same issue occurring as before the replacement of the water valve would be an issue with the ATC switch W11103599. Read More...
