We have an old Bosch WFB2004 washing machine that has a hot and cold water feed. Recently it seems as though it is only filling with hot water. Clothes don’t seem to get very wet sometimes and come out pretty hot regardless of the temperature set.
I have taken the top off and changed the wires over to the feed valves and the cold one works when connected to the hot wires, so I presume it is the part that is providing the signal for the valves to open that has broken. I donlt know what this would be called to look for a spare.
I am not sure it is worth repairing a washer of this age but if I connect the cold supply to the hot hose will I confuse the machine. Will it still heat up the water to the required temperature and will it rinse the clothes.
I will probably give it a go anyway, just looking for advice or anything else easy to check.
Thanks.
