ATC, water tempering

Thanks Julian! Looks like a lot of hoses going there. I would assume you have to split the hot line to get it into one side of the valve, the cold intake and the mix out.

Malcolm - its only November here and my machine is doing a mostly hot fill with some cold to do a warm wash (note my hot water heater is only set to 120F because of my son). My cold is about half/half tempered with the ATC. I know new machines have different temperature standards, which is why I really wish I could fix this machine. The only problem is the bearings.

If you look at the picture, the plumbing is actually quite simple. The valve has a hot input on the left, a cold input on the right, and the mixed water exiting at the bottom. You are correct that the hot water is split and you can see the tee on the left (Hot) input of the valve. In case it isn't obvious in the picture, the mixing valve sits in the middle of the water hoses feeding the machine with the water flowing from top to bottom.

Hoses

Gotcha - does the cold terminate at the valve? The hose leading out of the valve goes to the cold inlet on the machine? Im asking because I see 4 hoses in the photo. Is that the hot water hose coming from below to go into the top of the splitter?

" does the cold terminate at the valve?"

Yes, Hot/Cold come in, and Hot/Warm go out.
