Why is the water temperature wrong in my Blomberg Washer?

  Tamara RobertsSep 15, 2025
  If the water fill temperature in your Blomberg Washer is incorrect, consider the following: * Water inlet hoses or valves may be clogged. Disconnect inlet hoses from the valves. Clean inlet strainers and valve filters of any debris. * There may be a long distance between the water heater and washer. Run the hot water faucets in the bathroom or kitchen (whichever is close to the location of your washer) for a short time to purge the hot water line. * There may be a problem with water heater. Be sure that your water heater is delivering hot water min 120F (49C) at the faucet.

Why are my clothes stiff after washing in my Blomberg WM 87120 NBL00 Washer?

  adambakerSep 9, 2025
  If your clothes are stiff or don't smell like fabric softener after washing in your Blomberg Washer, it could be due to: * Using an insufficient amount of detergent. If the water hardness is higher, using insufficient amount of detergent can cause the laundry to become stiff in time. Use appropriate amount of detergent according to the water hardness. * Softener being released early. You may have added too much softener beyond max fill line.
