Washers Not Getting Warm Water

Energy Star washers, with mechanical timers, will not produce warm water with the lid up. The lid has to be closed for warm water to fill the tub.

If you want to check the temperature of the water, you will have to wait until the washing machine's tub is full, then open the lid and check the temperature of the water in the tub.

The temperature ranges for Energy Star and Non-Energy Star washers are below:

Temperature Setting	Current Non-Energy Star Temperature	Energy Star Temperature
Hot	125 degrees +/- 15 degrees Fahrenheit	110 degrees +/- 15 degrees Fahrenheit
Warm/Colors	90 degrees +/- 10 degrees Fahrenheit	70 degrees +/- 10 degrees Fahrenheit
Cold	62 degrees +/- 10 degrees Fahrenheit	60 degrees +/- 10 degrees Fahrenheit
