Daewoo Washing Machine Changing Temperature
Hi, I have a Daewoo DWDG124KC washing machine. I have noticed recently that when selecting cotton 40 or 60 degree wash, that somewhere mid cycle the dashboard changes to cold and the remaining of the wash which can be up to 30 minutes is cold. Is this normal or should the wash maintain its temperature throughout whole cycle?
Thank you for your help.

Daewoo DWDG124KC temperature indicator changes to cold mid-cycle
- The problem
- On a Daewoo DWDG124KC washing machine, a 40°C or 60°C cotton programme starts with the selected temperature lit, then part way through the cycle the indicator changes to cold and the machine feels cold for the remaining time, reportedly up to 30 minutes.
- Likely cause
- The thread does not confirm a definite cause. Daewoo reportedly advised the owner that this behaviour was a fault. Another forum reply suggested some machines heat only during the main wash and use cold water for the rinse stages, but this was given as a general example and was not confirmed for this model.
- What fixed it
- No repair or exact fix was documented. The strongest supported advice was to contact Daewoo/service support, as the manufacturer had indicated a fault. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Observed that the 40°C or 60°C indicator was lit at the start of the cotton cycle
- Observed that the temperature indicator later changed to cold mid-cycle
- Checked the drum/wash temperature by feel and found it cold during the remaining cycle
- Manufacturer was contacted by email and reportedly said it was a fault

I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say the dashboard changes to cold. Do you mean it actually says cold in the display?

Hi,
When it starts the red button is on 40 degree, at some point half way through the cycle, the red button changes to the cold and you can feel that the washing machine is cold.
I am emailed Daewoo and they are saying is a fault and I should contact them. The washing machine is out of warranty however and we cannot find the receipt, typically.
thank you
Hello Jenny. Thank you for the update. Are you thinking you might need the receipt to make a complaint about it breaking down? If it's out of guarantee of course you don't need it but if you are wanting to claim it shouldn't have broken down so soon then the receipt is necessary to show how old it is. If you can't find it make sure you check old bank and credit card statements which should do the job if you could find it there.
Please keep us informed as to what happens so that other people experiencing the same fault will be to find out what it was and what was needed to fix it.

Hi, not certain if this is what you are asking, but my Hotpoint machine does its main wash on hot, but the rest of the cycle is cold (rinsing).
