The temperature of the laundry is affected by the temperature outside because that affects the temperature of the cold water entering the washing machine. Therefore washed laundry should feel colder in winter. (When laundry feels colder it also feels wetter but that’s not necessarily the case). In cold spells the rinsing water can be very cold indeed.
This can be caused when the hot and cold fill hoses are connected the wrong way round or when the hoses are connected correctly, but due to a plumbing error the hot tap is actually delivering cold water and the cold tap is delivering hot.
This can be caused by the plumber (or DIY plumber) wrongly identifying the hot and cold water pipes, or incorrectly labelling the taps by fitting the red and blue levers or indicators on the wrong taps.

I have a new candy washing machine only fills on cold no hot option. When my washing is finished it comes out warm and smells like cabbage. What can I do?

I have recently bought a candy washer. A+++ It is cold fill only. When a wash has completed its full cycle/drained, spinned and finished the laundry comes out warm. I've never experienced this before as previous machines have always rinsed out in cold. I'm not sure whether it's the settings on the machine or whether it is indeed faulty. It is plumbed in exactly in the same way as the previous machine so I know there has been no error with connection. Have you found a resolve Tanyamallison12? I'm baffled as to why this is happening! I don't feel like the laundry is clean when comes out warm/hot…could it be because it's eco so uses less of everything?

Hi @dpm63,
What is the model number of the washer?
If the washer only has cold water hose attached to it then the heat must be coming from somewhere.
My guess would be either a heater in the machine (if it has one) or the motor as these would be the only components that can produce heat.
If the washer has a hot water hose connected, turn off the tap that the hose is connected to and check the wash temp.
If it has no hot water connection check the machine's user manual to see if it has a heater and perhaps specifies that it will regulate the temp. of the water
If no heater that only leaves the motor or maybe the cold water temperature itself.

I keep seeing these posts, and the experts swearing that the hoses must be switched, or the ambient temperatures are affecting it.
We have a Maytag washer that absolutely randomly switches between hot and cold.
When starting a load, I have to check to see which it's dispensing, and change the indicator to either hot or cold to correct it.
Two loads today, and one rinsed in hot, one rinsed in cold. This is obviously a switch, sensor, or maybe cpu issue.
