I would assume the hot water control valve is stuck in an almost closed position. Any help would be appreciated otherwise I'll have to disconnect the hot hose and add a ball valve to hose and then manually fill the tub with hot water.:mad:

Look for a screen in the top end of the hose & clean, and also clean the screen inside the hose connection on the machine. Attach the hose at the top and point it into the tub or down the drain and check flow rate, then connect to machine and try hot fill...
