Water isn't hot enough - Cuisinart CHW-12 12-Cup Coffee Maker

Check the heater hoses that go into the firewall to the heater core, they both should be hot,if only one is hot and the other isn't,then the core is plugged. Remove the hoses at the firewall, buy of hose the same diameter,buy enough length so that you can flush away from the engine compartment, install it on one of the heater core pipes,using a garden hose with a jet sprayer slowly blast water into the hose, until you see clean water coming out from the other pipe. Remove the hose and install it on the other pipe of the heater core and repeat the process,you may have to do it several times to completely unplug it. This is a typical problem with a 3.0, 2 valve taurus,coolant looks brown and rusty. The entire cooling system should be flushed, if it isn't the heater core will plug again.

the element might of burned out. Is it a used coffee maker? Elements do burn out from time to time and you might have to just buy a new coffee maker.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

For Haier machines 'error 5' means ' the required water level has not been reached within 8 minutes', or in other words it isn't filling quick enough!

If you have checked that the hot and cold water taps are turned on fully and the hoses are not kinked or squashed at the back, it is worth while checking both the hot and cold water inlet filters. Turn the taps off and remove both hoses at the washer end. Inside each inlet port there is normally a little filter which should just slide out. Clean if necessary and replace each one and the hoses. If after turning the taps back on there is no improvement, the problem is symptomatic of a malfunctioning hot or cold water control valve. Sorry but it needs a service call and a check that it isn't the control PCB ;-0(

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck,

It's your choice.There's only a single supply hose and with most dishwashers that means cold fill only, but as this is a compact basic worktop model the manual supplied suggests that users connect to a hot water supply.

In real-life situations though, the water drawn from the hot supply often isn't instantly hot so all you do is drain cold or tepid water from the supply pipe and let it get replaced with wasted hot water which then cools in the pipe! If the machine features condenser drying like many dishwashers, then cold water is essential for it to work. A final consideration is that unless your hot water is supplied at mains pressure (such as in a combi-boiler or megaflo system) then the water pressure from a hot water storage tank will not often be high enough and you'll have to use the cold supply.

Is the line going out of compressor, hot? If it is not, there is not enough gas.

It sounds like water isn't being forced through your spray lines, which could be a result of either you trap being clogged or the sump pump not working. It could also mean that your heater element isn't heating the water hot enough for it to clean.

If it only the upper rack then it could be a blockage for the upper sprayer, but if it is throughout the machice, then it would either be the sump pump, trap or heating element as the most likely causes.

You have the scald guard set to high. Take off the handle and the face plate. You will see a small plastic half moon looking part with teeth. Yours is probably set all the way one way which keeps the cold water side restricted and the hot side fully open. Carefully pull the half moon part out and rotate in about halfway and reinstall. That will give you equal cold and hot water flow. If that isn't right for your needs, you can play with the settings.

Are you waiting long enough for the water to be totally heated, before showering? Unfortunately, all the water doesn't reach 60 degrees celsius (140 degrees fahrenheit) in a matter of minutes. Try switching to the hot water mode sooner and allow enough time for the system to heat up entirely. If that doesn't solve the problem, the burner may need cleaning,

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks.

If your hot water isn’t hot enough it will display “HO” while heating the water to operating temperature.

Thank You Huum
