Abstract
A laundry washing machine and method control a temperature of water used in a wash cycle based at least partially on the weight of a load being washed. A volume of hot water and a volume of cold water to be added to the wash tub to provide a target temperature of water in the wash tub may be determined and a hot inlet valve and a cold inlet valve may be controlled to respectively add the determined volume of hot water and determined volume of cold water to the wash tub.
