Abstract

A method is for a fill cycle calibration in a washing machine appliance. The method includes receiving an activation signal of a calibration cycle, and performing the calibration cycle. The calibration cycle includes initializing a fill sequence of the washing machine appliance, determining a supply connection orientation of a hot water supply hose and a cold water supply hose, measuring a volume of water from a hot water supply valve before reaching a predetermined temperature threshold, measuring flow rates of water from the hot water supply valve and a cold water supply valve, and updating operational parameters of the washing machine appliance.
