When my daughter bought her flat a few months ago, the previous owner left
the washing machine. It's a bit old but it was working ok till recently when
it started to leak. Probably not worth trying to fix it so she bought a new
one. When I connected it up today I found that the hot supply to the machine
had been taken from the radiator circuit! I hasten to point out that it's a
gravity fed system, but I can't believe someone would do that. As a
temporary measure I have left the hot valve closed, so it will just use
cold fill, but will this cause problems?
