worked well and we have warm and hot water again
Perfect, installation went pretty easy after I watched a video on youtube with the same model dryer and part installed
No screws to undo just got a sturdy plastic putty knife shuved it under the control panel right side then the left side make sure you pull the switch knob off(use of the hard plastic putty knife so you won't scratch the finish once both sides come out then the entire control panel can be flipped up you'll see a metal clip on each side put some tape on them to keep in place or they will fall inside,unplugged the switch then pop it out .plug in the new switch pop it back in then flip the entire control panel back in place may nee a little force to pop back in that's it

Easy to switch out
The part looked like the original except for it being a different version on the label. It went in without any problems and took about five minutes which was great.
The only problem is that the new switch doesn't keep the warm water at a steady flow, it switches back and forth between warm and cold. From reading, I think this may be because of the new rules about hot water and warm water in washing machines having to meet requirements to save energy by not really giving you actual warm water like was originally intended.
The problem before was that the water temp would switch back and forth starting after 25 seconds and the switching would make the water pipes hammer so hard I thought the pipes would break. At least it doesn't hammer now and the water fills without me having to watch and shut the machine off and on every 25 seconds.
Excellent service and quick shipping.
Thank you

I am only able to get hot water to come on to do a wash. Will a new four way switch take care of the issue of not being able to use the cold, cool, and warm cycles?
For model number Whirlpool Roper Washer RTW4440VQ1
Hi Lawrence,
Thank you for your inquiry. Where no hot water is coming into the washer you will need to check the water inlet valve, the temperature switch and the pump. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I am only getting cold water in my machine, i tried turning the temperature mixing valve, but no change. If i buy a new 4 position switch, do you think it will take care of my hot water issue, thank you..
For model number wtw5500sq2
Hello Ron, thank you for your question. The issue could be the temperature switch or the water valve itself. The hot water port on the water valve might be bad and stuck in the closed position, not letting any hot water into the unit. I would recommend testing the valve before ordering. If the valve is tested and is working properly the temperature switch should be replaced. I hope this helps!

I have a problem with getting water to go warm when selected. I went through all four selections and all selections seem to be working except when i select warm the water continues to be cold
For model number 11029622800
Hello Paul, thank you for contacting us. This is most likely due to a faulty Water Inlet Valve and Thermistor Assembly, part number PS11742194 for your model. You may also want to consider this Temperature Switch, part number PS11749784 as the cause. Good luck with your repair!

Some times the washer does not have cold water going into the tube on the rinse cycle some times when you shake the hose it start which sounds a little crazy. We changed both inlet hoses and cleaned the small screens at the entry points would it be the temperature 4position switch
For model number wtw5500sq2
Hi Ron,
Thank you for the question. If you are able to shake the fill hose and have the cold water start you may have a loose connection to the water valve. I suggest maybe removing the back panel to expose the valve to see if all the wires are hooked up properly. If this doesn't fix the issue you may need to replace the water valve. The part number to the valve is PS11742194.
Hope this helps !

My washer produces severe water hammer in my hot water lines in my house when the washer needs hot water. I took a chance and installed a new fill valve assembly, hoping it was the hot water solenoid valve that was going bad. Did not fix the issue. Would it be safe to assume that it’s the temperature switch at this point? Thanks!
For model number WTW5590VQ1
Hello Luke, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, the temperature switch regulates the temperature of the water in the tub. The water hammer might be caused by trapped air in the pipes. We would suggest checking the hot water pressure in the pipe that supplies water to the washer. If pipes are not secured correctly, or perhaps have become unsecured completely, shock waves within the pipework are likely to be exacerbated by the physical banging of the pipe itself. Also, check the pipes for leaks or damage. The hammering sounds might be caused by two pipes hitting each other from the force of the water being shut off. Sometimes the straps holding the pipes to the framing come loose, allowing the pipes to bang together. We hope this information helps!

My washer pulses during the fill on almost never temperature setting except cold. It pulses on cold sometimes too. Will this fix it?
For model number MTW5600TQ2
Hello Nathanial, Thank you for the question. This sounds like it might be a defective Water Inlet Valve, PartSelect Number: PS11742194. This water inlet valve attaches the water lines to the back of your appliance. The attaching solenoids on the valve open and close according to the desired temperature, or amount of water needed.Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

The washer only run cold water on all settings. I put in a new temperature switch it did not fix it.
For model number 110.28632701
Hello Bud and thanks for writing.
Why is my washer not using hot water?
If the washer fills properly in the rinse cycle, it will eliminate a bad cold water valve as your failure. In this case, you may have a bad temperature selector switch, failed timer or wiring problem. ... If the washer will not fill in the rinse cycle, you may have a bad water supply, failed valve or a wiring problem. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime
