Washer temp setting changes by itself

My whirlpool washer/dryer combo for condos works fine except for the water temperature setting. When I set it for cold water, the clothes would be really hot after the load is done. The temp setting changes by itself. I had it for a year and is giving me trouble lately. Also, I already check the hoses if reversed but its ok. Model # YWET3300SQ1

I also have a Whirlpool washer/dryer for my condo, although I don't know the model number of mine. I had the same problem -- after it was precisely a year old, suddenly one day the hot and cold started coming out reversed. I was able to fix mine by more or less temporarily fiddling with the water pressure. What I did was one time, when the rinse cycle was running and the washer was filling up with hot water (grrrr...), I completely shut off the valve supplying hot water. So at that point the water stopped filling into the washer, and then I started tinkering with the cold water, twisting the valve off and on a few times. Then BINGO, suddenly the cold water "kicked in" and for the remainder of the rinse cycle, it filled the washer with cold water. I then turned the hot water valve back on, and since then it has been running correctly.

Thin twin washer basket is VERY off balance and once a cycle runs, there is water filling up under the washer / spin basket.

You should be able to put it in spin and remove the water. if it don't you have a problem somewhere. There should be 3 springs hooked to the bottom of the tub to hold it on center if one breaks or comes loose it will be off balance. If you get water in the tub when not useing it and the water is on from the water line the water valve is leaking.If the water don't shut off when filling the water level switch could be bad.or the tube running to it could be stopped up pull the hose off the water level switch and blow through it if it bubbles in the tub it is ok. If can't blow through it it is stopped up.Hope this helps

I'VE GOT A WHIRLPOOL STACKING WASHER DRYER COMBO BOUGHT APPROX 2002. wASHER WORKS FINE, pUMPS WATER OUT FINE BUT ON SPIN CYCLE SEEMS OFF BALANCE AND MAKES ALL KIND OF BANGING NOISES. i EVEN TRYED SPIN...

Transmission bearing has failed. The transmission has to be replaced as a unit.
The transmissions are relatively inexpensive (around 150 to 175 dollars) I have replaced 3
of these and they are rather difficult.

Do we need a Y connector for our combo washer dryer. We just have one tap in the kitchen sink

If you use a Y connector to provide water to the washer it will not be able to use different water temperatures. The water temperature at both the cold and hot inputs will be whatever comes out of the tap. The washer controls cold and hot inputs separately to change teh water temperature in the machine. A Y tap will only provide one temperature (whatever the tap is set to provide) to both inputs. If the tap is a faucet you could control the temperatures manually but the machine needs to have a water supply at both of its inputs.

I have a zanussi turbo dry built-in washer/dryer built-in 1200, Mod zjd . 125, and I do not know how to use it. HELP! Thanks, Cindy

Hey, Just load the washer but do not over load. These combo washer dryers are strictly for smaller loads. You should have a drawer to the left that you place the soap and softer and bleach. Set to the washer to washer. The door should lock automatically. Then set your dryer setting to the the Heat temperature that you want. 100 degrees is ok to start with. then it will adjust itself as it goes through the cycles you have set. Enjoy the machine should work. If it does not look to make sure that the door is closed all the way. Sometimes you have to open the door and reset it and shut the door or while it is closed gently push on it till you hear a small clicking noise. ENJOY YOUR WASHER DRYER COMBO

Maytag washer/hot and cold water

Some whirlpool washers have had A similar problem. They had a intermittent water temperature switch issue. Sometimes they put hot water in when cold was selected. This is probably the same problem as yours. I would replace the water temp switch.
