frigidaire works ok, bout only fills with cold water

We had our new washer replaced for that very reason there was nothing wrong with available, pressure, temperature or distance from hot water tank.

Both boards to do with settings and temperatures were replaced and nothing changed, still ends up with cool water on a hot water setting. Tech wrote a non- reparable report to factory rep. And machine was replaced. New replacement arrived and it did the exact same thing.

When tub finished filling the water measured, with a thermometer under 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Very unhappy about this new, $1,600 plus taxes machine.

Agree

The control cards need replacement to prevent mostly cold water entering tub when requesting a hot water wash.

For me they won’t accept this problem exists and is unacceptable.

Just noticed my Frigidaire Laundry Center Model FLCE752CAW had cold water in the tub after I had selected a hot water wash in the Normal cycle. I put it into Diagnostic Mode (how-to instructions are in the user manual) and confirmed hot water was dispensing in the Hot Water Fill test selection. Back in regular mode I selected a hot water fill (Normal Cycle) and monitored it. It starts the fill with cold water for about 75% of the time, stops, and then delivers hot water for about 25% of the time. How can you get a hot water fill/wash from that? Especially in Vancouver BC where the City delivered water temperature here is 6-10 degrees Celsius for 8 months of the year. Electrolux, the manufacturer of these, sent a local repair technician. He spoke to an Electrolux service dept Technician and their response was that the water temperature is too cold in the locale. With programming like this these units should not be sold into moderate climate regions, only hot one's. Unit does not monitor the water temp inlet.

I had the same Problem. Government mandates influence programing of circuit boards. Adjust your wash mode selector to Heavy Duty or Bulky. Adjust the water temp. to warm, and soil level to your choice. Machine will do normal start up and begin fill with cold briefly. then will blend with hot and you will have warm water. The lid will even fog up. Do the same if you want Hot, I.E. for whites. It will fill completely with hot water. You will still have a cold-water rinse. Hope this helps everyone.

Tried the bulky and the heavy duty cycle. Still cold. Took off all the hoses. Checked screens. This machine is junk.

My washer starts a hot wash with cold water after it’s half full or so it opens the hot water supply and fills until its reached its full point. When it stops filling I give the agitator a few turns to mix the hot and cold and measures the temp with a thermometer and it never gets more than 90 degrees Fahrenheit, that’s cooler than body temperature not close to the 150 degree water supply.

I am having the same issue. Two repair persons came out. Both of them say nothing is wrong. But the water in the tub fills first with just cold water. The little bit of hot water after that isn't enough to raise the temp to even body temperature. The repairman stated that the machine was designed to be energy-saving. This just isn't acceptable. Why do we have a hot water heater? To clean the clothes in warm or hot water to get them clean. Someone help as I need to return this item.

same problem piece of crap it wont do what it is set to never buying this brand again buying a new set as soon as i can so disapointed and mad sales

Put your hot water setting on hot and cycle to Bulky you'll get hot water after it fills with some cold if you can run the nearest hot water faucet to get hot water to the area if some sort of goofy energy saving that you only get hot water if it's set on bulky it's goofy but that's what I found out after trying the different settings

Originally the $100 installation charge consist of somebody who did not know how to hook up hot and cold hoses they had them reversed which I rectified immediately and then discovered that you only get hot water if the wash cycle is set on bulky run the nearest faucet until the water is very hot and you'll get steaming hot water in your double stack every time

Yes, I stood there today and kept checking as it was filling - very hot. However the water in the tub was cool/cold. It almost seems like there is water that remains under the tub from a previous wash, by then cold, and a significant amount of it. I'm sure that's crazy. Top load washer.

@jayeff I think you're answering my question what you're saying is I can actually fill the entire machine up with hot water and because there's a sensor that detects the level of the water it won't overfill after I just turn it on. ( there's certain loads of really dirty pet blankets and such that I want to wash with hot water the way I used to in my old machine. And as people have stated here the issue is not there's no hot water available it's that the machine is programmed to fill it up with 50 to 75% cold water first and then add hot water even if you're on the hot only cycle. So even though this is an inconvenience I can at least get the desired result if I fill it up with hot water manually at the beginning. Thanks so much for your response and I'll tell you my controller programming days are far behind me but I think somebody could make a lot of money modding chips for modern washers! - I Googled it and couldn't find anybody but if there's any black market chips out there I definitely buy one!)

@richardvarno

Yes if you manually fill it (not overfill it to prevent water being splashed out from the tub during washing), with hot water then if you fill the hot in the tub (load the machine with blankets etc first then add the hot water) until it sufficiently covers the load (the load will absorb a lot of water so it may take some time to actually see the water level rise) and you judge that the water level is equal to what you set on the machine control panel, then once you start it, it will either add no more water or a very small amount and then commence washing etc.

@jayeff that is very helpful thanks so much for all your replies tonight!

How much filling does it do before it quits?

What wash temperature did you select? Try hot-only, then try cold-only do they both fill? If so then the washer not only is getting the water but the valves inside is letting the water in. All that's left is the tubing/hoses between the tub and fill valves.

If one temperature doesn't fill then it could be that temperature line is plugged or the valve not working. Try swapping hot for cold hoses at the washer and see if cold fills with hot setting or hot with the cold setting.

My cold water hose has a strainer at the faucet and it was plugged so cold wouldn't fill. I tried filling with hot and that worked.

Touch the washer where the hoses connect & start the fill. You should feel the valve open and hear a click. If you don't then the valve is likely faulty.

As Pete said 20140624, disconnect the washers hose and turn on the water (with the hose in a bucket or the washer drain line). That proves the water supply to the washer. Everything else is "in the wash"er.
