A neighbour saw that on a 50C wash hot an cold came in and mixed making
the 50C tap water about 30C, then the electric element cut in to heat the
water to 50C. She realised that at the very hot wash (90C?) only hot ever
came through and the cold was off. So she made sure hot water was at the
tap, selected the 90C wash and the drum filled with 50C water, then she
would switch off and then select the 50C wash. It worked, also the wash
was quicker.


You should explain to her that you don't need 50C for a wash.
Set it to 40C or even 30C and save some energy.
