The current rage for cold fill only machines is all very well for bio
powders and combi boilers, but some of us want a machine that has a hot
fill. And before it is suggested that a machine never gets to draw hot
water, that is not the case with my current machine which invariably
fills up with hot water.
Hence is it possible to convert a cold fill to a h & c fill machine???
Has anyone done it??

Its not at all practical to make a cold fill machine into a dual fill.

If you want to do it manually, there is one easy way, and thats to run
a bit of microbore in thru the back of the machine and into the top of
the soap dispenser, and fill it before starting the cycle. The pipe can
be clipped securely to the machine body at the back to stop it coming
out of place, and a few turns would enable it to take up the WM
movement.

I cant think of any reason to do it though, especially as it'll give
you poorer wash results.
