Luke warm water on sanitize cycle, why?

So this washer is supposed to have an internal heater to increase water temperature to sanitize. Well water on hot and sanitize is luke warm. I just started to pay attention to it/ use this cycle so I am not sure if he water heater is broken or we have some other problems. Anybody has any advice?

    How hot is the water from your tap? If it isn't hot enough the heater in the machine may shut off because if it takes too long to bring the temperature up to "sanitize" the machine is no longer efficient. I'm going through the same thing. My hot water heater is very far away and in a very cold crawl space.

    Do I really want to crank my hot water up to 150 degrees so the water entering the washing machine is hot enough? Sounds expensive to me.

Remove lower kick panel and check wire connections to heater. 2 wires go to heater terminals and a harness connector goes to temp sensor in middle of heat terminals. may be green ground connection on another term. use multimeter and check resistence on heater. during cycle heater will take time to heat.

Try running the hot water into the sink immediately before you turn on your dishwasher. That will get hot water from your heater to dishwasher faster & help with the sanitizing cycle heat

I have a laars jandy 250 lt gas pool heater that only heats luke warm. The heater cycles normally then heats up but stops before reaching operating temp. No service lights and thermal switches are g
I do not have a handy but mine has a temperature setting at the heater and one on the remote. it is possible that one of the settings is low. the pool or spa temp is sensed at the heater and with the water temp located in the pool lines. so both the control board and the heater are sensing the water temperature.

Hayward hd100id blower works water luke warm
It sounds like the thermostat is turning the heater off before it gets the water to temperature. It is probably the sensor, as that is the most common cause, but may be otherwise.

I have an Atwood GGA-8E about 6 months old was getting hot water but now the water is only luke warm, any adjustments?
There should be a temperature setting on the gas valve. It should be on top or front and have several settings normally vacation, warm and hot. Rotate dial towards hot setting to increase water temperature. Hope this helps. Thanks

Washer only has cold water. Hot water is good to machine but only cold water enters machine on warm cycle, no water ar all on hot cycle.
Hello there
The Water System temperature sensor is normally what is wrong with these units with this condition that you are experiencing
The water system consists of the hot and cold water inlet valves, a water temperature sensor, a water
flowmeter and control and the dispenser distribution system along with a traditional pressure switch.
Water Inlet Valves -
The hot and cold water inlet valves are located at the back of the washer. These valves receive a control
signal from the Central Control Unit to manage the temperature of incoming water. The temperatures
are determined by the specific wash cycle selected and a temperature sensor located in the wash tub.
To improve cleaning of heavily soiled clothing and to provide a sanitizing feature, the water temperature
can be increased through the use of a heating element located in the bottom of the tub

Fluctuating engine temp a/c sends out cold air intermittently
Here's the thing. The ECU will shut down AC if the engine temperature is too hot. If the coolant temperature sensor is malfunctioning (lying to the ECU) telling it that the temperature is hotter than it actually is, the computer will turn the AC OFF.

Heater will only heat spa water to luke warm.
sounds like it may be the thermostat on the heater. You are correct to check the filter first. if it is clean then it is probably the thermostat

Dish washer
If your dishwasher's cycle times are too long, check these:

Water pre-heating
Cycle not completing
Water pre-heating
Your dishwasher may pre-heat the water. If so, and if the water entering the dishwasher is
cool, the heater may take up to half an hour to heat the water.

To avoid the wait, increase the incoming water temperature before turning on the dishwasher.
Do that by running the kitchen sink faucet until the water runs hot. Or increase the temperature
of the hot water to the entire house at the hot water heater.

Warning! To lessen the risk of scalding, don't set the hot water heater temperature higher than
120 degrees Fahrenheit.
