My washer will only use the hot water

EF0

displays due to washer over-sudsing or due to washer not filling with

Hot

water.

Causes for washer over-sudsing

:

Not using High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

Too much detergent was added.

Using too much 2X or 3X HE detergent

Solutions for over-sudsing

:

Always use HE detergent in an HE washer. It is formulated to be a low-sudsing detergent and made especially for HE washers.

Be sure to use the correct amount of detergent. HE washers require only a small amount of detergent.

Note

: This amount may need to be adjusted for water hardness, load size, and soil level.

If using a 2X or 3X concentrated HE detergent, much less detergent is needed. If suds are seen, reduce the amount used.

If using a water softener, less detergent.

Solutions for Hot water not entering the machine are

:

Make sure both Hot to Cold water hoses are connected properly at the faucets and at the washer.

Fill hoses are usually color coded, blue for cold and red for hot.

Verify that the hot water inlet hose is connected to the hot water faucet.

Verify that the cold water inlet hose is connected to the cold water faucet.

Verify that the hot water inlet hose is connected to the back of the washer into the hot water inlet port.

The inlet port is usually labeled with (H) or (HOT).

Verify that the cold water inlet hose is connected to the back of the washer into the cold water inlet port. This inlet port is usually labeled with (C) or(COLD).
hope this was some help,all the best.

The problem with getting hot water to today's modern washers is really an old problem. In the days of the old top loader that used 20-25 gallons per load, hot water washing was fine. Today's washers only use 4-8 gallons of water. And they bring the water in not in one spurt, but often in short, cyclic bursts while tumbling the clothes to get them uniformly wet. The problem is in the water lines themselves. Water lines are typically uninsulated, and the water between the hot water heater and the washer will cool rapidly when sitting still, especially if the water lines run in a concrete slab or in a crawl space under a house. If may take 2-3 gallons of water before the water gets really hot. Add to that the fact that we have been conditioned to turn our water heaters down to 120F or less and you'll find that HOT water in the washer is barely tepid. Use of a tankless hot water heater at the washer is the best solution, but can be costly to install.

hook up hot hose and turn on the hot water and dont use hot water control it will not use no hot water ,but washer need to see the water pressure ,but will not use no hot unless you ask for it Sonny

Hello
Did you reverse hose connections?

Please post the model number for your washer. It sounds like your hot water valve has failed and is not closing. Unplug your washer's power cord and turn the hot water spigot that comes out of the wall on. If you still get water filling your washing machine, it's definitely the washer's valve and you will need to install a new set (hot and cold valves are both part of the same assembly).

It sounds like one of the automatic water fill valves in the machine is leaking water when washer is off and the valves are closed. There are two manual water supply valves at the wall behind the washer, one for hot water and one for cold. Close the manual hot water supply valve and allow the washer to sit and see if it fills with water. If it does fill, then the cold water automatic fill valve is leaking. If not, then open the hot water manual supply valve and close the cold water manual supply valve. Allow the washer to sit again and see if it fills. If it does then the hot water automatic fill valve is leaking. Replace the leaking valve in your washer. You can order the new valve online using washer brand and model number on a appliance parts web store, or maybe even find it at a local appliance parts store.

Electrolux Washer Fault Code for EFO or EF0

Drain Filter is Clogged. Resolution => Click lint filter for soap buildup or other debris. Check drain hose.

Oversudsing - A high efficiency detergent was not used.
Too much detergent was added. Resolution => Use only a high efficiency detergent. Follow manufacturer's recommendation for dosage. Amount may need to be adjusted for water temperature,
water hardness, load size and soil level.

Hot water doesn't enter washer - Hot water hose is connected to the wrong faucet. Hot water faucet is not turned on. Resolution => Connect hot water hose to hot water faucet and hot inlet on
washer. Be sure hot water faucet is fully opened. Check water heater.

this sounds impossible,hold old is the washer? how long are the hoses to the washer?is it the temp pressure valve on the heater that bursts? can you hear the water draining out the drain pipe, this machine don't go into spin till the water has been drained.

take it back for a new one

Littleone.. please check your instructions.. some washers now dont need Hot water connection to them...they heat their own as part of the efficiency settings on the wash programmes themselves!
