Washing Machine - Clothes coming out cold

kerash

Hi we have an indesit iwc6125s and when the cycle is done the washing is coming out cold - any machine I've used before the washing comes out warm, I've tried different temps/settings but no change.
Just wondering if anyone knows why this is happening?
Thanks!

Final rinses & spin is cold water , the machine only heats water at the start

Then i would imagine they had been plumbed incorrectly, i'm with Bertie! final rinses are with cold water on all machines.

I'm open to correction but i think you're wrong here, I think the newer machines have cold rinses, I think a warm rinse makes means the clothes dry easier.

Well let me just add that in 30 years working as an engineer in the white goods industry i have never seen one nor heard of one, but hey!! I'm open to correction :rolleyes: just how "warm" is your HOT water.

Wash seems colder as water is colder from pipes in winter.

There is no call for such a patronising reply.

Your corrected ! -as Billy stated all rinses are cold no matter when the machine was manufactured

It has nothing to do with the machine as such and more to do with science -to remove washing powder from the clothes this must be done with cold - if it's hot it just activates cleaning agents again and leaves residue on your clothes

You were given an answer to your question, that answer was seconded, you then decide you now know just how your machine works and decide to tell us just how wrong we are, patronising! i don't think so.

No the others are correct. Your older machines may have been incorrectly plumbed. All rinses are meant to be with cold water and as stated previously all recent machines have cold-water inlets only.

I was given an answer by bertie1 which i gratefully thanked.

I then advised that I was open to being corrected by you on my thinking that your point maybe be wrong - I did not decide you or any poster was incorrect.

I did not decide just how my machine works Billy. If I knew how it worked I wouldnt have started this thread.

Nowhere did I state that anything i posted was fact I just wondered if all machines used cold water to rinse.

I was happy to be corrected by yourself or anyone informed on how the machines work but I took issue with your ill mannered reply.

if this is the case then.. what's the damage or is there a rule that it should only be cold water for a rinse?

Billy Bunting

Well Knighted 1 has already pointed out the effect of a hot water rinse on detergents but there are other good reasons for a cold rinse, the main being the damage hot water can do to your woolens and other delicates.
Remember, your HOT water supply can range in tempereture but on average is set around 55/60 degrees, depending on your heating source, this could do seriously damage clothing. Your machine, even the older type with hot and cold fill will only take water dependent on the programe you have it set at, depending on programe setting your machine will take either hot, cold, or a mix of both, but it will always rinse with cold. New machines with cold fill only will take cold on all programes and heat to programes desired temperature, but again will only rinse with cold.
