If it is so good, I want some and will meddle with the washing machine to
get it to work cold only. Or just set it to low temperature wash.



Disconnecting the heater makes it sit there forever waiting for the
temp to be reached. Instead wire over one of the temp stats.



I don't like washing machines that have fixed temperatures for given
wash programmes - I prefer to be able to choose my own. If I want to run
a long wash at 30°C then that's what I want to do - not have the machine
force me to do it at 80°C instead. Some machines have a seperate
thermostat dial - which makes a lot of sense.


My " Wife's " machine is an old top loader with 4 water levels, 5
wash/rinse temp.settings and 5 time programs. She likes it. ( Canada )
