GoLS, Good suggestion. I hadn't thought of that and will follow up on it. I suspect it's built into all. I read the owners manual for the Frig and it states that "hot water will be tempered to provide 120 degree water on hot setting". I will go back and check other manuals. | ||

You may have a time finding a washer without automatic temp control on the new market. The only stacked topload w/d set Maytag has (built by WP) comes with auto temp. One of the requirements washers have to satisfy for the gov't energy standards (energy star) is to have energy saving water fill/usage controls... If you're lucky, you could find a middle aged Maytag Dependable Care stack used. A SE/SG1000 set would certainly do you well. Jaytag was lucky to find his newer model LSE7804ACE stack and got a great machine (thread#18648). It has straight hot/warm/cold wash fill and all cold rinses without autotemp but has the energy saving electronic shutoff on the dryer. RCD | ||

I'd jump on the Dependable Care Stack. There is NO WAY you'll ever find anything better, in any category. | ||

Tuthill, where's the adventure in buying something that everyone knows works? I would much rather pee $1100 away and then complain about how poorly it works! (I really should get a life) | ||

AT first I too was wooed by the promises of the dawn of Energy star rated laundry appliances. If forced the inovations in laundry we craved, But lately it seems to be morphing into overkill. I think the notion of making a washer more energy efficent would be better served by forcing up the final spin speeds to extract as much water as possible to in effect make the drying time decrease. Why not creat a water-to-air heat exchanger inside the dryers exhaust path to recapture the lost heat escaping into the atmosphere to heat a resevoir of water the washer could call on to bring it's water temps up. They are already linking washers to dryers via data cables. Of course youd have to do the cold load first then transfer it to the dryer, then proceed to start washing the load that requires hot water once the dryer has been in operation long enough to heat the water? Sounds crazy? Sure, so does a 98 degree hot wash! Just my 2 cents! -Alex Fort Lauderdale
