Jingthing Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Did you check to see if there is hot water at the washer. Set it to HOT wash and see. If its not. I would think the problem has to be the heater or at the point where the cold splits out to the heater since the pressure at that point is high on the cold side. I agree a good clue. But I'm still confused. I did a cold load today and it was cold. Yesterday I did a hot load and the clothes felt warm for a few seconds but the pipes I felt didn't feel hot at all. There is no indicator light on the heater on the outside of on or off. Uhm... a lot of washer brands will heat their own water. IE: not need hot water input. Again, I would check that cut-off valve for the hot water out. Aha. I hadn't thought of that. Is that common for washing machines to make their own hot water? My model I reckon is 10 years oldish.

Not common in Thailand. Guess being 10 years old a manual is out of the question though may find it on the Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotsira Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Easy way to check the washing machine is to look behind the unit and see if it has 1 or 2 water supply pipes. If only 1 pipe (Blue) then it has a built in heater element. If 2 pipes (Red & Blue) then it relies on an external hot water supply.

Is your washer a top-loader or a front-loader? I don't think I've ever seen a top-loader in Thailand with a water heater nor ever seen a front loader without a water heater.

I would have tried you out but I had a service person in anyway for something more serious and directed him to check for blockage in the pipes/filters. He did so and fixed the problem. So I'm sorted. Thanks to everyone for your feedback here. What a great resource. Interestingly the hot water pressure is still quite low but it turns on the water heater and that's all I care about. I don't need high pressure for hot water, but I do want hot water! Edited June 24, 2013 by Jingthing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
