FAQ: Washing Machine Temperature Problems

Q: Why is my washing machine not heating water? A: Common causes include heating element failure, temperature sensor problems, control board malfunction, or hot water supply issues. Professional diagnosis can identify the specific problem.

Q: Can I fix washing machine temperature problems myself? A: Basic checks like verifying hot water supply and testing controls can help, but heating element and control system repairs require professional service.

Q: How much does it cost to fix washing machine temperature issues? A: Repair costs range from $75-350 depending on the issue. Sensor replacement is less expensive than heating element or control board replacement.

Q: Why does my washing machine water get too hot? A: Overheating can result from faulty temperature sensors, control system problems, or safety thermostat failures. This requires immediate professional attention.

Q: When should I replace my washing machine instead of repairing temperature problems? A: Consider replacement if repair costs exceed 50% of a new machine's price, or if the machine is over 10 years old with multiple problems.
