Question by eff j: Question about built-in heater in washing machine?
My previous washing machine has no heating element so I have asked the plumber to re-route my solar powered water heater so that my washing machine can get hot water supply.
Now I am planning to buy a frontload washing machine and I’ve notice all of the models come with built-in heating element.
My question is there any way I can use my hot water without using the built-in heat element?

  1. Check the manual for the washer you’re thinking of buying. There is probably a setting to not use the built-in heater. You could probably also disconnect it.
