Hello, the other day I installed a used Hotpoint HSWP1000M in very good condition for a friend of mine, and was surprised to see that the hot water setting produced warm water at best. Checking the hot water coming from the hose itself it was much hotter. I noticed these machines have three water valves at the inlet. Is it possible that in the interest of "safety" one of these allows some cold to mix with the hot even at the hot setting to keep people from scalding themselves? Can one of the valves be disconnected to get truly hot water for a wash? Thanks for the help.

This particular washer has a target temperature of 100 dgrs.F. for the hot water temperature. You may want to review the attached technical update, and pass it on to your friend. Seems like all"s OK.
