My washing machine takes in hot water and cold water, whereas my dishwasher takes in cold water and heats it up to the required temperature. Since I have a temperamental hot water supply this sometimes means my clothes are washed in cold water.
Does such a thing exist as a washing machine that takes in cold water and heats it up itself to the required temperature?
Please don't just say 'get your hot water fixed'. I really want to know about washing machines... makes and models would be fab!

Most washing machines these days have only cold water fill and the water heats to the temp. you want. I bought a Indesit with a cold water fill. If you are viewing machines on the web check the details of the machine to see if it is a cold water fill

Hi there, just before christmas my washing machine packed in so I was recommended to get a Zanussi which I did for around £250. Can check on make and model and get back to you but it heats its own water, I know this for a fact because it only has a cold water inlet pipe. Its a great machine, best machine I've had in about 14 years and I've been through 4 (I'm jinxed). Hope this helps!

All washing machines (yours included) are able to heat their own water. Connect both the inlet hoses to the cold water supply (you will need a 'Y' connector available from plumbers merchants and places like B&Q) and the machine will heat the water, however, the wash cycle will take longer to finish.
All new washing machines are now cold fill only.
Hope this helps

Yes most of the new washing machines now have only a cold inlet pipe I have a hotpoint and it only has a cold inlet pipe.
My father -in - law has a beko washing machine which he bought a couple of weeks ago and that only has cold inlet aswell .
most of the washing powders now wash better at a lower temp so you don't need to have the hot inlet.

Our Ariston Margherita washing machine heats the water from cold unless you select the hottest wash option. If you do a 30 or 40 degree wash, you should get a cold fill.

All washing machines in the UK heat their own water, most, if not all are now cold fill only anyway. It's more energy efficient.

All new washing machines use cold water only they have 1 water connection and heat the water themselves. It prevents putting too hot water in the machine.

Just disconnect the red pipe to the washing machine. It will then take in only cold and heat it to whatever temperature you have set.
