hot water at the tap. Also check water heater capacity and recovery rate.
• Disconnect hoses and clean screens. Hose filter screens may be plugged.
• As the washer is filling, the water temperature may change as the automatic
temperature control feature checks incoming water temperature. This is
normal.
• While the washer is filling, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water
going through the dispenser when cold or warm wash temperatures are
selected. This is a normal function of the automatic temperature control
feature as the washer determines the temperature of the water.
