LG WD12346RD hot and cold fill query

The problem

The owner of an LG WD12346RD washing machine asked whether it could be used with only the cold water supply connected and the hot inlet left capped, without disconnecting anything first in case it caused a problem.

Likely cause

This was an installation and compatibility query rather than a reported fault. The accepted reply indicated that the issue related to using a hot-and-cold fill washing machine where only a cold supply is available or desired.

What fixed it

The accepted answer referred the owner to guidance specifically covering hot-and-cold fill washing machines used with only a cold water supply, and the owner confirmed that this answered the question. The exact connection method was not described in the discussion itself.

Checks to try

• Model identified as LG WD12346RD
• Machine described as having separate hot and cold feeds
• Accepted reply pointed to guidance for using a hot-and-cold fill machine with only a cold water supply
• Original poster confirmed the advice was helpful
