Well, doing that you simply purged the water line and pre-heated the machine. In a front loader without a heater, this makes a great deal of difference! Oh and mind, 60°C is hot enough to scald you in little time if you put your hands in the water! | ||

How, if you have 160F water and preheat the machine with 160F water before filling with 160F water can you have a 175F wash without a heater? If you use a battery-powered infra red thermometer, you could take an exact reading. | ||

No Offence
But all that *tempering* makes one glad for owing a washer with built-in heaters.
Of course if these were days of old where boilers pumped out 180F *hot* water such things wouldn't be needed. Simply purge the line closest to the machine by turning on the taps and away one goes. Even allowing for the hot water being cooled by reaching all that cooler metal inside the washer things should still be at or over 140F. | ||

Yes, and older washers, even front loaders filled with more water. If you heat your household water with gas, it is probably a cheaper way of making sure of a really hot wash than using an onboard heater and, while it requires a bit of attention from the user, it is faster. | ||

all that *tempering* makes one glad for owing a washer with AMEN! I'd never trade my crappy self-heating machine for the best non self-heating one, ever. | ||

Why would you not "temper" the whole load. cancel, and simply start over with the additives? alr
