What should the water temperature be?

The "F24" fault code indicates a water temperature sensor error. The temperature sensor could be faulty; the wire connection may have vibrated loose or off the sensor or a possible heater or control board failure. I would begin by

disconnecting the power cord from the power source

and remove the rear panel from the back of the washer. The temperature sensor (key#24) is located at the bottom of the back of the tub. I added an image below to reference the location and a temperature sensor chart. If you do not find the sensor wires disconnected, disconnect the wires and you will need an Ohm meter to measure the resistance of the sensor. At 86 degrees or room temperature, the sensor should measure approximately 9.7K Ohms. Disregard the information in the image about the heating element; your specific model does not have a heating element to heat water. The water temperature is dependent on the temperature of the hot water entering the washer.

NOTE: Be sure the washer is empty of water before removing the sensor.

If you find the temperature sensor faulty; the

temperature sensor for model WFW8410SW01 washer is part #8181705

which can be ordered from Sears Parts Direct.

The fault F23 could be linked to the water temperature not reaching the right temperature. If your model uses hot water inlet connection then check if your hot water unit is providing the correct inlet water temperature. Otherwise it is likely the temperature sensor or heater element maybe failing.
See description
HEATER FAILURE
If the temperature increase during the first 40 minutes is less than 86degF (30degC).
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Check connection to water heater.
3. Check resistance of heating element, if present on this model. (abnormal = infinity)
4. Check the water temperature sensor and connection to it.

Not on regular models. Most models have a water tank in the fridge compartment which makes the water temperature to stay just above freezing temperature.

Wanna a play with your unit. Then remove the tank and just add two pipe ends together. Eliminating the tank. Then you should get room temperature water after about 5 seconds of cold water. Be careful just connecting the two ends of pipe after removing tank might lead to freezing pipes if your fridge temperature is close to freezing temp.

WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR ERROR
If the water temperature sensor (NTC) value is out of range (23F to 217F[-5C to 103C]) during the water-heating step
of the WASH cycle.
NOTE: To find correct Ohm reading refer to the Water Temperature Sensor section.

1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Check the water temperature sensor and connection to it.
3. Check resistance of heating element, if present on this model. (abnormal = infinity)
4. Refer to the Water Temperature Sensor section.

Since U get warm water that tells you that the cold and hot water solenoids are both operating. Ergo the anomaly has to be with the device that controls temperature.

F-5 Water temp sensor failure
If during the water heating step in the wash cycle, the water
temperature sensor (NTC) value is out of range, the "F/05" error code
will be displayed. Possible cause/procedure:
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Check the water temperature sensor. Refer to the
"Water Temperature Sensor" section. Check
connections to the water temperature sensor.
3. Check resistance of heating element, if present on this
model. (abnormal = infinity)

Yes there is an adjustment. Your water cooler should have a temperature control The enclosed adjustable thermostat is factory presetand should require no adjustment other than for altitude requirements. The temperature control should also be easily accessible.

Without specific model information difficult to identify where the temperature control may be located on your unit.

You might vist their website to identify your model. A search by model number may find more useful information on accessing and adjusting the temperature control.

Trust this is helpful.

Washer temperature sensors and water level settings
The temperature of your washer's water varies with your laundry care needs. Standard washer models typically feature three temperature settings: Hot/Cold, Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold—and higher-end models often offer as many as six or seven temperature settings. Temperature plays a key role in the effectiveness of your detergent—pairing the right detergent with the right setting for your fabrics and soil is important, as this will help reduce damage, prevent detergent residue, and provide the best wash across fabric types. For the best fabric care, look for washing machines with automatic temperature control (ATC). A sensor will control water temperature and ensure cold washes are above 60 degrees (F) to dissolve detergents, and warm washes do not exceed 93 degrees (F) to help prevent shrinking and bleeding.

The amount of water you use for each load also affects washer performance. Doing laundry is a bit like a science project. You need to make sure you are using the right volume of water, with the proper amount of detergent based on the dirt level of the laundry being cleaned. Too much of one component can result in a less-than-perfect outcome. Standard washing machines allow you to select water levels for different size loads, but some models offer more water-level options. Washers with automatic water levels use sensors to determine load size and adjust water level for best cleaning and rinsing performance. You will generally find these options in higher-priced top-loading washers. A benefit of front-loading washing machines is that most come with this automatic water-leveling feature.

Whirlpool® AccuWash™ temperature control sensor provides a temperature-controlled wash.
