Why does my Samsung WF431ABP fill with the wrong temperature water?

C

If your Samsung Washer is filling with water of the wrong temperature, turn both faucets on fully and make sure the temperature selection is correct. Ensure the hoses are connected to the correct faucets and flush the water lines. Check the water heater; it should be set to deliver a minimum 120° F (49° C) hot water at the tap. Also check the water heater capacity and recovery rate. Disconnect the hoses and clean the screens, because the hose filter screens may be plugged. As your Washer is filling, the water temperature may change as the automatic temperature control feature checks incoming water temperature. Also, while your Washer is filling, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water going through the dispenser when cold or warm wash temperatures are selected.
