It depends on the valve, who makes it and what model is it?

you have a cross connection in the water system ( I don't think it is the value, most of the time it is on your washing machine hot and cold water valve. Go to a faucet away from the machine and turn on the water. Then go listen at the machine you should hear water going through the hot and cold water valve of the machine, it is where your water hoses connect.) hope this helps

If it is a new house and has always done it. It might be that they connected

the hot and cold water together somewhere in the wall. You would need a

plumber to find it. It is not easy to find though. Would most likely be having

to open up a lot of holes in wall to find. Sometimes you will find it by trying

fixtures one at a time. The one that gets hotter quicker is where it was tied

in with the cold. Open up wall there. Then turn on water at the fixture and

feel the pipes and the one that is hotest that is tied to cold would be the one

you would have to change. You would have to take pipes apart and connect

it back to the hot side. So you would be taking hot and cold apart so i would

get plumber to do this. At least if you could find out where they were connected

would save you a lot of money.

How do you get transmission fluid out of your radiator?

The first step is to find out how it is getting in there. Normal cause is a failed transmission cooler. That may be part of the radiator itself. After the cause is repaired, you will have to flush the cooling system until there is no more oil in it.The first step is to find out how it is getting in there.
