washer help please

[d-todd]

So I am working on a GE laundry system model GUD27ESSJ1WW. The problem is that when set to hot water wash, the washer will fill with hot water, but as soon as the lid is closed, it switches to cold until filled. Open lid is hot, closed lid is cold. The hoses aren't swapped. I checked on Google, there are others with this complaint, but no answers. Ideas?

I think that is their sneaky way of energy savings. The stand alone top loaders do the same thing. I tell my customers to leave the lid up while filling to avoid that.

Coldspot66, it just may be a programming decision they may be on purpose, sort of to fool customers while the lid is open, then fill with cold when it is closed. I want to test some machines the next time I go do a service call on similar units, to see if they act the same.

If anyone has a GE laundry system (made by GE, not Frigidaire), please test and tell me what you see.
