Default Convert cold fill washing machine to hot and cold fill

I have just bought a single fill washing machine and modified the water
input
by using a switched 3/4 inch switched tap splitter. I have to turn the
hot water on by hand, and when it's full turn it off and turn the cold
on.---
But I have noticed when it is filling it automatically switches from the
left hand fill in the soap dispenser, to the middle one. Meaning the two
solenoids (hot and cold) are still fitted and working.
All they've done is blank off the hot fitting and siamesed the two pipes
internally.
So all that would be need to make it dual fill would be
One pipe fitting and two bits of hose.


Cold water only fill is used these days so that you don't "cook" in
common stains. If you fill with hot water you could make stains permanent.
