Narrative:
A shutdown of the #1 engine due to maintenance wired open the fuel heat valve on the JT8D-15 instead of the engine anti-ice valve. While en route from ZZZ to las, #1 engine oil temperature went to the yellow band. We did the checklist and called maintenance control and dispatch. We increased power on that engine to increase fuel flow which decreased oil temperature. But as we started down to las, we knew that oil temperature would increase, so as per our QRH, we shut down the engine so it would not redline oil temperature. All controllers, flight attendants and ground personnel were informed. The landing went as planned and all other indications remained normal throughout the rest of the landing.

Title: A B737-200 IN CRUISE AT FL230 SHUT DOWN #1 ENG DUE TO HIGH OIL TEMP CAUSED BY A FUEL HEAT VALVE WIRED OPEN.
Narrative: A SHUTDOWN OF THE #1 ENG DUE TO MAINT WIRED OPEN THE FUEL HEAT VALVE ON THE JT8D-15 INSTEAD OF THE ENG ANTI-ICE VALVE. WHILE ENRTE FROM ZZZ TO LAS, #1 ENG OIL TEMP WENT TO THE YELLOW BAND. WE DID THE CHKLIST AND CALLED MAINT CTL AND DISPATCH. WE INCREASED PWR ON THAT ENG TO INCREASE FUEL FLOW WHICH DECREASED OIL TEMP. BUT AS WE STARTED DOWN TO LAS, WE KNEW THAT OIL TEMP WOULD INCREASE, SO AS PER OUR QRH, WE SHUT DOWN THE ENG SO IT WOULD NOT REDLINE OIL TEMP. ALL CTLRS, FLT ATTENDANTS AND GND PERSONNEL WERE INFORMED. THE LNDG WENT AS PLANNED AND ALL OTHER INDICATIONS REMAINED NORMAL THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE LNDG.
