Hello:

Have a Maytax front loader washing machine that was purchased in 2001.
Not sure if anything has changed regarding the following question since then
or not.

Can anyone please tell me how the water temperatures are derived.

e.g., for "warm," is there an actual thermostat, or are the inlet cold and
hot streams merely
timed for a predermined on period ?

Or,... ?

Thanks,
Bob

Can't say for your specific model, but my old Maytags, and present Amana hot
is 100% hot water, warm is opening both valves for a 50 -50 mix, cold is all
cold.

This varies depending on the specific model. I have a Sears that
actually senses the temperature and adjusts the flow. You can hear it
turning the hot water on and off as it's filling and adjusting. All
my previous ones just used cold, half/half, hot.

Mine does both, depending on where you set it. However, I am always
baffled at how the 'automatic' Cold/Cold setting can be doing any hot
and cold water mixing, but it does!?!

It mixes when set to cold because there is an expected temp range for
cold water. You want the water cold enough to protect the clothes, but
warm enough to wash well. My incoming water can be 45 in winter, so I
guess the desired temp for cold is above that.

BTW, mine also has a setting for either auto temp or regular.
