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. |

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. |

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
