That is a very good question. These units partially open and close
the inlet valves for certain temp settings. And if it's out of it programed tolerance the machine stops and throws up a trouble code. I'm sticking to the older machines.

Miele Novotronic W526 washing machine. Can I reduce the temperature on my 'Quick Wash' cycle? It's set at 40 and I would like 30.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Computers category.

Wash temperatures are not able to be changed, they are dictated by the thermistor sensor and the setting of the EPROM in the control board, however, the 40' Wash temperature refers to the wash labels tags in clothes. About 20 years ago when HE detergents came out, manufacturers reduced water temperatures by 10'C, so although it is a '40' Wash', you should find the temperature is lower. Check it with an infra-red thermometer.

Why does it take two hours to wash a load of clothes

We have a new machine and a couple of the settings take about that length of time. We have a setting that does a wash load in around 30 minutes and tend to use that. It is a lower temperature and a slightly slower spin speed (1100 instead of 1300).
I believe it is because modern machines only have a cold water fill and no hot so the water has to heat up to whatever the setting is.
Try a lower temperature and spin speed, or if your machine has an "eco" setting, give that a go.

What is the acuwash sensor

Washer temperature sensors and water level settings
The temperature of your washer's water varies with your laundry care needs. Standard washer models typically feature three temperature settings: Hot/Cold, Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold—and higher-end models often offer as many as six or seven temperature settings. Temperature plays a key role in the effectiveness of your detergent—pairing the right detergent with the right setting for your fabrics and soil is important, as this will help reduce damage, prevent detergent residue, and provide the best wash across fabric types. For the best fabric care, look for washing machines with automatic temperature control (ATC). A sensor will control water temperature and ensure cold washes are above 60 degrees (F) to dissolve detergents, and warm washes do not exceed 93 degrees (F) to help prevent shrinking and bleeding.

The amount of water you use for each load also affects washer performance. Doing laundry is a bit like a science project. You need to make sure you are using the right volume of water, with the proper amount of detergent based on the dirt level of the laundry being cleaned. Too much of one component can result in a less-than-perfect outcome. Standard washing machines allow you to select water levels for different size loads, but some models offer more water-level options. Washers with automatic water levels use sensors to determine load size and adjust water level for best cleaning and rinsing performance. You will generally find these options in higher-priced top-loading washers. A benefit of front-loading washing machines is that most come with this automatic water-leveling feature.

Whirlpool® AccuWash™ temperature control sensor provides a temperature-controlled wash.

this is an article from the whirpool website, u can get a manual printed or downloaded by going to whirlpool.com and going to owners center and typing in ur model number.......

WWD45 machine will not comlpete wash cycle, have been advised to clean filters which are all clear but problem still persists

The problem with BOSH model WWD45 washing machine not comlpleting the wash cycle going On & On endlessly, in my case was temperature related. This fault was diagnosed by setting temperature to COLD, instead of 30? or 40?. The machine was able to complete its full cycle with no problem. In my case I found the heater element to be faulty. When the wash is set to a certain temperature, the program awaits for the temperature to be reached. Because the resistance in element is broken the water never heats up, therefore the program cycle never finishes its waiting for a temperature feedback. Alfredo da Silva

My Hotpoint WMA58 washing machine is not heating the water so the cloths are only getting washed in cold water. Will this be the heater element that has gone? If so how do you change it.

We had this problem & called our repair man in. We had accidentally knocked the 'Variable Temperature' dial down too low. It should ALWAYS be set to max (95). The programmer will still sort out the correct temperatures for the different programmes, such as cold wash, but setting that to whatever temperature means that that is the max it will ever reach, Since then, we have not had that problem again.

Asko 12605 overheating the wash water

(even not taking in hot water when filling before the wash stage which seems good)

The washer fills with cold water then heats it up 3 degrees a min. Your problem does sound like a faulty thermostat. Especailly if the glass door does get hot even if it is on 85f.

Temperatures (for my science project)

Usually, washing machines use the water from the water heater directly. Most water heaters are set to 120 Fahrenheit which is 48.85 celsius.

Hope this helps!!
