What temperature does bedding need washing at?
My Panasonic Bedding Program has a maximum temperature of 40C. I wonder if they were drunk when they designed it. Bedding has to be washed at 60C minimum to kill all the nasty stuff?
Solution Summary

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Bedding programme limited to 40C on Panasonic washing machine
- The problem
- The user queried why the Panasonic Bedding programme only allowed a maximum of 40C and was concerned that bedding should be washed at 60C.
- Likely cause
- No appliance fault was identified in the discussion. The issue described was the programme design limiting the Bedding setting to 40C.
- What fixed it
- No repair was advised or confirmed. The user chose to return the Panasonic and buy another machine, first considering Siemens and then deciding on a Samsung. The later comment indicates the Samsung bedding programme also had a 40C maximum, so the original concern appears to relate to programme design rather than a specific defect.
- Checks to try
- Confirmed the Panasonic Bedding programme had a maximum temperature of 40C
- Compared replacement machines by spin speed and programme options
- Observed the Panasonic made a loud turbine-like washing sound
- Observed the Samsung was much quieter

Nice article.
I have decided to return it and get a Siemens with 1400rpm for the same price. The Panasonic has 1200rpm.
Decided for a Samsung. Nice machine with lots of program options. It plays a nice tune when the wash is finished too.
It's much more silent than the Panasonic. The Panasonic had a terrible sound, almost like a turbine when it washed.
Has to be an asian thing. This machine has also 40C as max for the bedding program.
