When under warranty, a guy replaced the water temp switch. It seemed to help some, but it still was not quite right. I can use a multi-meter. I have a diagram. I have torn the thing apart and know how to get at everything. But, I am not certain what I am looking for or what to test. I am guessing the the water valve is messed up, or a thermostat. I see on the diagram a temp control light, but I have NO idea where that light might be. Can you help get me started? Thanks!!
