I have the Electrolux 500 series purchased in 2019. I can't seem to find anywhere what the heat settings are for Warm, hot, etc. From what I can tell -- the water goes in pretty much cold. I've checked the temp mutliple times throughout and for the first atleast 30 minutes the water is cold/"warm" at best on the whitest white HOT setting. By the end of the cycle it does heat up, but I can't check the temp at that point because the water is too high. The washer seems to heat up the water -- so I feel the temp it is heating it to should be available somewhere but I can't seem to find it. I did find the temps for the OLD 600 version -- but that was from like 2008. Mainly I need to know if the HOT setting gets above 120 F.

Anyone know??

A few other members had this same issue, looks like Sanitize is the hottest setting it can go:

FIXED - EFLS627UTT Washer "Warm" and "Hot" settings are too cold

I will call service on Monday since this should be a warranty issue, but I like to have a general idea of potential solutions going in, and am hoping the forum can help me understand the behavior I'm seeing. Here's the problem: With the cycle set to "normal" and temperature set to "warm", the...

I did see this post - but those settings dont match mine. I dont have an "eco hot" "eco warm" or "warm rinse" -- so wasn't sure if the "hot" and "warm" temps were the same?

That is very odd, You may want to contact Electrolux to come out and see what's going on.

I have not had any service calls in my area about this issue, so I'm puzzled as well.
