I have a apartment washer that has one hose and that hooks to my sink with a special adaptor. I figure out if I want hot or cold by adjusting my single sink faucet,

I am moving to a townhouse with a basement washer dryer hookup.I want to use the same small washer till it breaks due to money shortage.

I cannot see the back of the washer as it is blocked in with my refrigerator to be close enough to my kitchen sink currently. So even though it has one hose, I do not know if coming out of the washer there are two holes for changing it to two hoses for the new place or just hose in the washer itself for one hose.

The new place will have two faucets hot and cold.

someone said to s***w in two hoses to the washer but I do not know if this is possible as I cant see the back of the washer to see if it has place to s***w two hoses into,

If is does I assume I unscrew the single hose and replace it--hot to hot and cold to cold, but if it only has one place for one hose, what do I do. Will s******g a y hose to the water end of the hose (the one I currently hook to my sink) allow the problem to be fixed or will I have a problem with hot and cold due to the inability to shift it to warm, hot, o cold with a sinly faucet I control the temperature on now (that is my kitchen sink now has a single faucet I move to the left or right to adjust the temp of water coming out) when I cannot do that due to having two separate faucets hot and cold, will a y hose allow it to still work ok or must I somehow get two hoses.

Do most apartment washers have two hoses in the back..I can only follow the hose back now about three feet due to it wedged between refrig and shelves and cant get back down there to feel or see what it the washer like as far as one or two holes to hook hose to. Hope you understood this

  1. I have never seen a washer without a hot and cold hook up.If however that(one hook up) is the case I'd just hook it up to cold and use cold only as most clothes don't need to be washed in hot.
