Beko WM74135W can be used when household hot water is unavailable

The problem

The owner of a Beko WM74135W asked whether the washing machine could still be used while the combi boiler was not working and there was no hot water supply.

Likely cause

No appliance fault was reported. The issue was loss of household hot water from the combi boiler, while the washing machine itself was described as a hot and cold fill model.

What fixed it

The accepted advice was that the washing machine can still be used. It will heat water as needed during the wash. For a hot and cold fill machine, the important point stated was that water is connected and able to enter the hot water hose and valve, even if that supply is cold.

• Model identified as Beko WM74135W
