According to where you live this can be a seasonal thing. The hot water comes from your heater and has to heat the pipes up traveling to your washer. In the winter time this can take a lot longer. I would suggest running the water till hot in the closest free flowing outlet next to your washer.

Have run water in sink, close to washer, until it is hot. Have run full hot water wash cycle and still cold.
Has it ever run hot? Does it run hot on the cold cycle?
Just noticed my Frigidaire Laundry Center Model FLCE752CAW had cold water in the tub after I had selected a hot water wash in the Normal cycle. I put it into Diagnostic Mode (how-to instructions are in the user manual) and confirmed hot water was dispensing in the Hot Water Fill test selection. Back in regular mode I selected a hot water fill (Normal Cycle) and monitored it. It starts the fill with cold water for about 75% of the time, stops, and then delivers hot water for about 25% of the time. How can you get a hot water fill/wash from that? Especially in Vancouver BC where the City delivered water temperature here is 6-10 degrees Celsius for 8 months of the year. Electrolux, the manufacturer of these, sent a local repair technician. He spoke to an Electrolux service dept Technician and their response was that the water temperature is too cold in the locale. With programming like this these units should not be sold into moderate climate regions, only hot ones. Unit does not monitor the water temp inlet.
Agree - Frigidaire Laundry Centres are not ‘fit for purpose’.
So called ‘hot water wash’ water temp doesn't even meet the necessary temp for a ‘warm water wash’.
