In a clothes washer? The motor on or off will not control the temperature of the water because the washer doesn’t heat water. If the water temperature is warm, it will stay that way for about 3 hours. If the washer is in a cold basement, it will cool down quicker.
It sounds like the thermostat that operated gas valve is failing or the gas valve is bad. This is a repair left to professionals. Now I would price a new heater and install it myself. Repairing older heater is not a good idea, the rest of the heater is old and will fail.
there should be a grey box on the side of your water heater with a red dial that says hot or warm turn it to the warmer direction to get the temperature to go down
check and make sure your water level is all the way up some times it takes a day or two to work all the air out. if its full than ur water pump may be going bad or the electric temp control for the heater may be bad
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.
Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.
the inlet valves just open and close, if you have high cold water pressure, it will override the hot water. I suggest you turn down the cold water valve, until warm is kinda warm. your cold water fills will take longer, but you will have warmer water

Unplug the electrical wiring from the sending unit.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminal and the sending unit's metal body
Infinite resistance or zero resistance: the sending unit is bad, replace the sender with a new one.
Other than infinite or zero resistance: continue test.
Remove the temperature sender from the engine.
Position the sending unit so the metal shaft (opposite end from the electrical connectors) is in a pot of water. Make sure that the electrical connector is not submerged and only the tip of the sending unit's body is in the water.
Heat the pot of water at a medium rate. While the water is warming, continue to measure the resistance of the terminal and the metal body of the sending unit:
As the water warms up, the resistance goes down in a steady manner: the sending unit is good.
As the water warms up, the resistance does not change or changes in erratic jumps: the sender is bad, replace it with a new one.
Install the good or new sending unit into the engine, then connect the negative battery cable.
With the engine cold, remove the ECT sensor.
Immerse the tip of the sensor in container of water.
Connect a digital ohmmeter to the two terminals of the sensor.
Using a calibrated thermometer, compare the resistance of the sensor to the temperature of the water. Refer to the sensor resistance illustration.
Repeat the test at two other temperature points, heating or cooling the water as necessary.
If the sensor does not meet specification, it must be replaced.
Submerge the end of the temperature sensor in cold or hot water and check resistance
Temperature-to-resistance relationship of the ECT and MAT sensors
Turn off the water to the ice maker and turn the temperature up in the room. Let it sit at room temperature for a few hours to let the heat warm up the line. Is it the line on the back of the unit or down in the basement?
Do you mix your radiator fluid and have it tested to see what it is rated for, may be too warm and need more water if you mix it yourself. I would also check the fans on the radiator, they should be turning on at about half temperature on the temperature gauge. If not, then track down why they aren't.
