Thats' exactly what it is, or at least it is one of the reasons.
Our city tap water in Charltte gets much colder in the winter, then warms up in the middle of summer to almost mildly warm, straight from the tap. The water heater stays at a fairly constant temp, though I have had three gas water heaters in three houses that could not keep tank temperatures as constant as an electric...anyway, the cold incoming that is mixed with hot in the washer makes the result cool in the winter, and very warm in the summer. This all on a machine that does not have a thermostatically operated mixing valve. My solution to that is to set about the last 1/3 of the fill on pure hot, which then blends together to make the desired 'warm' that I want. Gordon | ||

3beltwestie. I thought you said the WH washer was connected to cold water only and your family only washed in cold water. In another post, like the one above, you mention having the WH beside the water heater to have hot water. What gives? | ||

Thats exactly what I do too, except I fill it with 1/3 of hot first, then switch to the warm setting. | ||

qsd-dan, except that mine has threaded connectors, that is like the one I use to give my European machines guaranteed 80F water for the cold supply in the cold water months. I fitted mine with check valves to prevent backflow between hot and cold. It feeds a manifold with 4 valves for the machines. | ||

I know a lot of family around me that only washes in cold, both hoses are hooked up, and you can't tell them any different.......
but I have one sister who only has her machine hooked up to the cold supply, hot is available, but she has the hot water valve "capped" off..... she has done this with her SQ solid tub.....and her newer GE FF.....although with the SQ you could smell the musty, moldy odor when you walked in her house....but she had a combination of cold only washes, never bleach, and keeping the lid closed all the time..... I can't bring myself to "cold only".....best I can do on non-auto control is select warm, and adjust the hot valve down to a cool/luke warm wash... | ||
