Warm and steamy clothes after washing
Hi guys,
I recently realised that after every washing cycle at 60*c, the clothes are very warm and steamy.
I read some articles saying that the machine machine could be connected to the hot water lines, but it seems like its connected to cold one.
Also, when I turn the cycle only for rinsing, the water is cold.. I'm so confused. What could be the reason for it?

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Warm, steamy clothes at end of 60°C wash
- The problem
- After every 60°C wash cycle, clothes were coming out very warm and steamy. The user had checked that the machine appeared to be connected to a cold water supply, and a rinse-only cycle used cold water.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply suggests the machine may not be completing the full programme after the hot wash stage, or may not be pumping the hot soapy water away properly. A probable explanation is poor draining, leaving hot wash water in the machine instead of completing the rinses.
- What fixed it
- Check whether the selected programme completes all rinses on the 60°C cycle, stated as about four rinses in the discussion. Also check that the machine is pumping away water correctly. If the rinses remain very soapy, that supports a drain or pump-out problem. The exact repair was not confirmed in the thread.
- Checks to try
- Confirmed the machine seemed to be connected to a cold water supply
- Confirmed the rinse-only cycle used cold water
- Check whether the 60°C programme completes all rinses
- Check whether the machine is pumping water away properly
- Observe whether the rinse water/clothes remain very soapy
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Make sure it’s completing all the rinses on that cycle and not aborting after the wash cycle. There should be about 4. Also make sure the water is being pumped away ok. If all the rinses are very soapy maybe the pump isn’t pumping the hot soapy water away properly.
