Washer has "perfect temp" that usually adjusts water temp to some specified range by turning off hot and cold appropriately and cycling as needed. It is normally when set on warm. It would fill for several seconds with hot and cold both, then cycle for several seconds (maybe 5 secs) with just cold, then back to both. Now, when set on warm, the hot water cycles on and off rapidly and randomly, between every half second to normal time of cycles. Set on hot, fills normally with all hot, no cycling. Set on cold, fills with cold for 10 sec or so, then cycles to hot + cold (warm) for 5 sec or so, then back to cold only. Our cold tap water right now is not very cold, maybe 60 degrees, so odd it is turning hot on with that too when set on cold. Is this a control asm problem?
ANSWER Hi Steve. Get a bucket. Turn the water supply valves off. Remove each water hose from the water valve. Look at the water valve inlet screen and see if the screens are plugged. Water valve part # WH13X10024. Flush out the hose's and make sure they are not clogged. The valve needs strong water pressure to keep the valve open and then closed. If this is all OK, then replace the control assy. part # WH12X10323. Thank You.
