Why warm or hot water is not hot enough in Electrolux ELFW7437AW?
- M
  Madison MarshallSep 6, 2025
  If the warm or hot water in your Electrolux Washer isn't hot enough, it could be due to: * The hot water heater being set too low or being located far from the washer. Measure the water temperature at a nearby faucet with a thermometer; it should be at least 120°F (49°C). Adjust the water heater as needed. * Hot water being used elsewhere in the house. Avoid using hot water elsewhere before or during washer use. If the problem persists, your hot water system may not support more than one use at a time.

  If water is entering your Electrolux Washer but the tub isn't filling, it could be that the drain hose standpipe is too low. The standpipe must be a minimum of 23.6” (60 cm) high to prevent siphoning. Increase the standpipe height to at least 23.6” (60 cm).
