Is anyone having a problem with water temperature? Our machine only gets lukewarm even on the hot setting. Sensors replaced no help.

Is the hot water supply to the washer actually hot? Is there a long run of pipe to the water heater (water that has to be used up before the hot water appears)? Is the wash water hotter if you shut off the cold supply temporarily as a test? Do you have an on-demand water heater that maybe can't keep up? By the way, it seems like for the WARM water setting, this washer does not mix hot and cold to produce a specific target temperature. It just turns both on and you get what you get. It's up to you to adjust the valves of the supply (usually closing the cold valve slightly) to achieve the right temperature water for WARM.

Sounds like you have a bad control board. The temp can be set on both the front face of the unit and with the remote control. Take it back and get a new one!!

I have used it only once and I had the same problem. I think you have to lock the temperature and I guess I did not do it. Try locking the temperature

The water doesnt ever get hot unless I add it hot. Maybe mine doesnt work like it is supposed to, but it has never heated the water.

I set the red pointer in the middle on the back you will see it if you turn it around, once that is set just turn the blue wheel to the temp you desire. Also, make sure you unplug it and then you can set it, don't do it while it is in the water and plugged in, it is not how you set this up. Once all the settings are done put it back into the tank and plug it in.

I'm curious about this too. I set mine for 370 and as soon as it reaches the temperature it turns off. SO frustrating.

Try this: Remove cover, empty out all the water and then fill it with fresh water. If that doesn't work, then try this: unplug it, remove cover, inside you will see sensor (it sticks up a little with a silver metal on top) touch the sensor with your finger. For some reason this works. I think the sensor gets stuck "thinking" the water level is low, so the unit doesn't go on.

I never had that problem. Sounds like your water is not hot enough. Check your settings and use the "pots and Pans" setting if you do not have a "hot" setting, or maybe your dishwasher has some other issues. I have used these for 3 years with no problems and they work perfect. The machine sparkles inside.Hope you fix your problem.

Talked to tech-support and they said yes, this unit will regulate the water temperature to the SET-temp. and ultimately shut off if incoming temp is already at or above the SET-temp. unrelated, I am experiencing fluctuations in the output temperature; (with stable input temperature) it may be bad sensors, so this still needs to be figured out

I have not had any problems with water temperature. Whatever setting you leave the faucet at, is what you will get the next time you touch the faucet to turn it on. It is very consistent, in my opinion.

After owning this machine for 7 months (had our first for about three years) I'm having the same problem as of this morning. I'm going to try all the tactics that billf recommends. Anyone else rectify the problem?

Well I had to get used to mine...power on..after I set the temps in each zone I hit start and then keep hitting select until u see temps rising and a little dot blinking beside each temp...just to lower right..hope that helps...:-D

I had some trouble when it was -20F. the heater that comes with the unit is adjustable. It gets very warm/ hot when you turn it all the way hot. The water still freezes over some on the top.

I own one and I love it! First thing to check is the temperature adjustment knob under the unit is turned fully clockwise. The temperature rise can vary widely based upon that and other things, such as... the incoming water temperature, the flow in GPM (consider the flow all fixtures whixh are being used at the same time if more than one are... the higher the flow rate, the lower the water temperate rise. Also, if yours is a 240VAC unit and your actual voltage is less like 220VAC it won't warm water as much as 240 does. If your faucets, etc. are too far from the heater... some heat can be lost in the run of pipe, especially if it is in a cold area. Note that what causes thermal shutdowns to occur is overtemp, this can happen if the flow is restricted quite a bit, but high enough to activate the heater, and when the incoming water temp is very high. Also never try to connect this type of heater to water the is already preheated. I have some AE9.5 units as well and I know they have the thermal shutdown, I think all Bosch units do.

I think mine's run dry before and still seems to be working this week(first freezes in New Jersey, us)...it seems to keep the water just above freezing so I don't think runs very warm

I had that happen with mine, also. I tracked it down to the plastic shaft that the float rides on was not seated into the place for it on the bottom of the part with the fan. Also, if it doesn't run very often, try turning the humidity setting up and see what happens. They have some trouble-shooting tips in the manual.

Let the water get tepid or lukewarm, before adding water. Do you use a heater? if so, set it the water to the temperature in the tank before adding.
