“Water temperature settings I have looked online and in the manual, called support, and tried chat support, but I cannot find any information about the temperature settings on my washer. What exactly do they mean? If I select Hot - why does it mix/cycle with cold? What is the difference between Warm and Eco warm? What are the rinse temperatures for each setting?”

I'm sorry to hear you've had difficulty finding the information you're looking for. The target temperature ranges for the WF405 are 105°-125°F for Hot, 85°-105°F for Warm, 66°F for Eco Warm, and 60°-85°F for Cold (this information has been updated as of January ’13). The standard rinse temperature for all cycles is cold. It isn't unusual for the washer to draw both hot and cold water during the fill process as it measures the temperature, particularly when warm or cold is selected. I would suggest reviewing the information on page 36 of the User Manual in the Troubleshooting section entitled "Fills with the wrong temperature water" for tips to help address this. If you've selected Hot water and cold water is entering the machine, it's possible the hoses are switched or the water in your hot water pipe is cold from lack of use. Try running a nearby hot water faucet to flush the lines before starting a wash cycle. If you continue to have cold water entering the washer when Hot is selected after checking the troubleshooting tips, please call 888-BEST BUY or 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you further. - Ms. Samsung
