Got a used washer/dryer combo from my nephew, can't get hot or warm water. I took off the temp switch and forgot to mark how the wires reconnect. The switch has numbers 1,2,3,4. There are 4 wires to connect.
I believe the red is number 3, the blue is number 4, the yellow is number 1 and the white is number 2. Does anyone know if this is correct to hook up the new switch? There are also tiny letters at each terminal labelled H, C, F and FF...Help!

Hi.

First of all check if there is hot water at the faucet and to the water inlet valve.
Check if there is 120VAC across the water valve hot water solenoid when it's called for hot water(the one with yellow wire).
If you have water going to the water valve and correct voltage at the solenoid - replace the valve.
No voltage - check the temperature switch for continuity.
For HOT - F -M and for WARM F - M, FF - C closed. Replace if needed.

The wires are connected as follow:
YEL - H, BLUE - C, PINK - F, WHITE/PURPLE - FF.

The water valve Part number: AP3267279
Part number: AP3267279


Here are the breakdown diagrams and Lower Cabinet / Top parts for Frigidaire FEX831CS0 - AppliancePartsPros.com

Post the results.

Simon.

Thank you so much Simon! Couldn't afford to have it fixed otherwise! You're the bomb!
