I have set the rinse cycle set to cold on our washing machine, however the clothes are rinsed hot, when I take the clothes out of the washing machine after the cycle is complete they are hot. How do I correct this problem,

Re: I have set the rinse cycle set to cold on our washing...
The hoses may be reversed...select cold rinse and turn on washer...if its hot..then try cold wash, is it hot? then try hot wash...is it cold? if so, check your hoses are on correctly....reverse hose's

It could be that the cold inlet valve is faulty.. Your machine will rinse with cold water only and if the inlet is faulty then it won't fill for the rinse cycle. This also means that the wash cycle, if set on 'warm' is only getting hot water. Set the wash temp to cold and see if the machine will fill. If not, the cold inlet valve is the problem. You'll need to replace the inlet valve which may be a double unit with two hose connections Best to call a tech..Good luck Nomess (Please take a moment to rate this answer)
If your washer is the type that all rinses are in cold water only this would make sense that in the winter months when the water is at it's coldest the clothes will feel cold after the spin cycle. If your washer has a warm rinse cycle and when you select the warm rinse option the clothes feel cold after the spin, then maybe the hot water supply line is plugged.I recommend disconnecting the hot water hose at the back of the washer and check the screen that is at the fill valve on the washer and make sure it isn't clogged with sediment or calcium build up or any other foreign material that would keep the hot water from entering the washer.If all is well there, suspect either the water temp selector switch or the hot water fill valve. Good luck !
You are better off swapping the valves over in the machine until you can buy a replacement valve. I've done this for a month or so until I replaced the valve. Works as long as you only use a cold wash and your cold water is not too cold as to make the machine want to add some hot. If it does this then simply press start to clear the fault.
Sounds like either the water valve is bad, or the screen in the valve is clogged. Take the hose (cold) off at the valve and look for the screen to be clogged. If it is not clogged, replace the water inlet valve.
The clothes should be cold after rinses, if they were hot before, then something was wrong. Most washers do at least 3 cold water rinses, so they should be cold, this prevents creasing. Hope this helps.
If the machine has a soak cycle, you can use that. If it does not, you can have it fill on a cold rinse, and then stop it for a soak. Restart it on a hot wash with a cold rinse. Tumble dry low.
If you are getting no water spray during the rinse cycle that would cause the soapy clothes issue.
Are you getting cold water during the wash/rinse cycles? If you have the machine set to warm/warm you may only be getting hot water while the final spin is calling for cold.
If you have cold water available then the timer is not calling for the water spray. The problem is either in the mixing valve or the timer.
