I only have cold tap plumbed in but I bought a hot and cold fill washing machine
I bought a second hand washing machine 2 days ago. Do you need the 2 fill hoses connected to hot and the cold pipes? I only have a cold water supply so there is no water supplied to the hot water valve. The washing machine works on all the programs except i am having problems on the 95 degree wash to do my shirts. I set the programme going and no water comes out all the other programs are working ok
I've been told i need to turn on the hot water one on but the lady i got it off said it works with just the cold water one can any one give me any feed back please its doing my head in.
Solution Summary
AI-generated from this discussion
This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Hot and cold fill washing machine on cold supply only fails on 95°C wash
- The problem
- A second-hand washing machine with separate hot and cold fills was connected only to a cold water supply. Most programmes worked, but the 95°C wash did not fill with water.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply says some programmes on hot-and-cold-fill machines are hot-fill only, especially the boil/90°C wash. With no hot water supply connected, that cycle may not receive water.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was that a cold-only connection can allow many cycles to run, but not all. The issue was diagnosed as a limitation of using a hot-and-cold-fill machine without a hot supply. The thread refers to dealing with this situation, but no exact repair or modification was confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
- Confirmed that other wash programmes were working normally
- Confirmed that no water entered on the 95 degree wash
- Confirmed that only the cold fill was connected and there was no hot water supply
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hi, if you only have a cold water supply connected to a hot and cold fill washing machine then most wash cycles will work - but not all because some cycles are hot fill only (mostly the boil (or 90 degree) wash).
