Hi All,

First off, yes I put the hoses on right!

Just purchased a Maytag Centennial MVWC500VW washer.

It has an interesting defect/featu *when the
water temp switch is set on "Hot", it runs cold water
in along with the hot. *Hot is always on. *Cold goes
on for about ten seconds, then off for 10, and repeats
until the tub is filled. *(It destroys my ability
to do a hot wash.)

Question: is this a feature of a defect?

If it is a feature, is there a way to disable it?

Many thanks,
-T

My GE washer has an auto temp feature that sometimes cycles the hot
and/or cold to get the right temperature. I don't know if you can
disable the feature or not. But you could always shut off the cold
water supply so all that fills up is hot water.
