Question

Does anyone know if all new UK Washing Machines are now Cold Fill Only?

Answer 1

Hi i install domestic appliances for a living and  am finding that most washing machines are now cold fill only.apparently it is more efficient to heat up the water in the machine than to use hot water from your cylinder/boiler as they only use a small amount of water nowadays.As most washes are done on a 40 degree cycle and given the fact that your boiler/immersion is set at around 70 degrees,your washing machine is actually cooling the water that comes in thereby using more water than necessaary.so a cold fill is more energy efficient.

sorry about the long answer i've had a beer.

Answer 2

yes I think they are all cold fill these days.
