The Water Came Out Hot When It Should Have Been Cold! Duh!

Tweet

I recently moved into a new condominium and was doing my laundry for the first time there. As you can see from the picture, there are three settings on this washing machine, cold wash and cold rinse, warm wash and cold rinse, and hot wash and cold rinse. Well, I was trying to figure out why it was that when I did a hot wash the water was icy cold and when I did a cold wash the water was boiling hot! Even when the "cold" water rinse came on that was boling hot too! Well, like an idiot, I went through probably around 30 loads of laundry and playing with the water, turning up the hot and down the cold with the faucets themselves. Until one day a little light bulb went off above my head and I got a brilliant idea. Maybe, just maybe, some idiot crossed the hot water hose with the cold water faucet and the cold water hose with the hot water faucet. Well, what do you know? I switched the hoses and the problem was resolved! I cannot believe that I didn't figure this out a lot sooner, but the thing that really gets me is the fact that the person who painted this place did not even bother hooking the hoses back up to the correct faucets! Oh well, at least I figured out a tough (LOL) problem on my own! Pretty good for a blonde I might saw too! So, have you ever had a problem like this before and been able to resolve it? I had to laugh now that I figured it out. But it wasn't funny before when I was boiling all of my laundry that was supposed to be washed in cold water only! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!
