Problems you may notice
• Washer displays error code 37 on the control panel and stops mid-cycle
• Water does not heat to the selected temperature setting
• Wash cycle fails to progress beyond the heating phase
• Cold or lukewarm water remains in the drum when hot water was selected
• Washer beeps or alerts repeatedly
• Unable to start or complete any wash cycle requiring heated water
Possible Causes
• Faulty water temperature sensor that cannot accurately read water temperature
• Malfunctioning heating element unable to warm water to required temperature
• Loose or corroded electrical connections to the heating element or temperature sensor
• Broken or damaged wiring harness connecting temperature control components
• Water inlet valve not delivering adequate hot water supply from home plumbing
• Thermal cutoff protection triggered due to overheating conditions
• Electronic control board error preventing proper temperature regulation signals
• Sediment or mineral buildup in heating element reducing efficiency (common in hard water areas)
Precautionary measures
• Verify the washer power cord is fully inserted into a working electrical outlet
• Check your home's circuit breaker panel and reset any tripped breaker serving the washer
• Confirm the hot water supply valve behind the washer is fully open and not partially closed
• Inspect both inlet hoses (hot and cold) for kinks, twists, or damage restricting water flow
• Ensure the washer door or lid is completely closed and latched properly
• Verify proper detergent amount and type are being used for the load size
• Check that the load is balanced and not overstuffed beyond the maximum capacity line
• Run a test cycle using cold water only to determine if the issue is specific to hot water heating
• Perform a complete power reset by turning off the circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then turning it back on
• If error code 37 persists after these checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician or appliance repair support service to diagnose the heating element or temperature sensor
