HOT and COLD not blending correctly

My top load Maytag Legacy series is not blending hot and cold water correctly. I have already replace the temperature control device to fix a different problem. The COLD only works fine. On COOL or WARM, the stream alternates between cold and hot instead of blending into a nice stream of cool or warm. The clothes inside are getting scalded with HOT, even if the tub ends up full of warm or cool water. The HOT only also pulses between HOT And WARM. Is this a lousy design, or is there something wrong with a valve or controller?

SOURCE: Water temperature problem

Chief Walley, you have a temperature control board that sits right behind the timer. A thermistor senses the water and sends the info to this board. The thermistor sits at the water injector. The board may be your problem, I have seen many like this. Keep in mind that the target temp for cold is 75 degrees. If your incomming water is higher than this, you are going to get a warm fill, which they think is cold. Without being there, I would go after the board. Catriver...post back.

Change the water valve again ,you most likely got a bad one.The odds of there being no cold water after a new valve is almost impossible.You can test the valve to make sure its working before you go to buy another one.

It sounds like you have the hot and cold water lines to the washer reversed.  Try turning off the tap for the hot water then setting the washer to just cold wash and then  hot washif you get nothing on the cold and cold water when set to hot they are probably reversed.  Typically if the auto-temp control is broken you will only get hot or cold coming out on any setting.

HOT and COLD blending

my last two washing machines, totally different brands and types, did the exact same thing. It must be a new way of setting them up, I don't understand either. I can't get straight hot water. My new one does seem hotter than the old one I had which was very distinctly hot then cold then hot then cold even on hot hot water.

I have a MAYTAG legacy Series manine. That i just bought from a retailer. My machine is connected to a cold water tap. can i still get a hot water wash if i select a warm or hot cycle? Secondly,...

hello bz... there can be no hot water wash or hot cycle without hooking up a hot water supply line. Also, you must plug that hot water inlet, the correct plug is available at most hardware stores. Finally, yes it is normal for the machine to stop before draining, as the transmission shifts. If the machine is very noisy, that is not normal. To reduce that noise you could put the machine on a piece of thick carpet to deaden the noise a bit. Joe

Thanks for choosing Fixya!

Cold water cycle doesnt work, no cold water at all, just hot

Could be the cold water solenoid is stuck or broken, maybe a wire has broken or terminal worked loose.

You need to take a look inside and check the wiring, check the supply to the solenoid, etc. If the supply is good the solenoid is probably faulty. If there is no supply it is possibly the board or the controller.

Cold water stopped coming into machine. cleaned the screen and still would not work. switched hot and cold hoses and set temp. on hot. worked for one load, but now the water will only stay on for about 10...

Check the solenoids at the water inlet valve. They can be tested using a multimeter or ohmmeter. Test for continuity. A lack of continuity indicates a faulty solenoid and the water inlet valve assy will need to be replaced. I will attach a photo for reference. Hope this helped and best wishes.

From what you have said, you may have a bad solenoid in your water fill valve. it's the rubber piece under the debris screen. if you can get that out and replace it, you'll be golden.
