Hi All,

Firstly I realise this group isn't perhaps the best place to ask - but
I couldn't think where else to ask (and have had great advice from here
before!).

Quick question: We have just bought an Ariston AWD12S washing machine.
This doesn't seem to be drawing hot water from the supply (but
instantly goes for the cold - without even trying to use the hot
supply).

The place we bought this from are being useless, and the manufacturer
has told us that this machine doesn't draw water from the hot supply
unless it really needs to - apparently it has an integral heating
element.

Well, we've put it on a hot wash - but the thing is so well insulated
we can't tell if the drum is getting hot or not.

Question is - is this normal nowadays? Do machine tend to have
internal heating elements? If so - why have a hot supply?

Or - are they just trying to avoid the fact it's broken?

Any comments would be appreciated

Regards,
