Why is the water temperature incorrect in my GE GTW480?
If the water temperature seems incorrect in your GE washer, check the following: * Ensure both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on and that the hoses are connected to the correct faucets, marked “H” and “C”. * Turn off the water source and remove the water connection hoses from the upper back of the washer and the water faucets. Clean both the hose screens (if so equipped) and the screens in the machine using a brush or a toothpick. Reconnect the hoses and turn the water back on. Check to ensure there are no leaks at the connections. * Make sure your house water heater is set to deliver water at 120°F–140°F (48°C–60°C).
