Can I use cold water only in a washing machine?

Which washing machines will operate on a cold water only supply?
Ideally a top loader.

most washing machines that wash at low temps are cold fill only. mainly because the hot water is too hot for the 30 degree setting etc

hi paul
dont get coned mate most if not all washing machines will fill from the cold tap only so if you dont conect the hot pipe it will fill from cold, but and this is the but, the machines heater will need to heat this cold water to what ever its set at say 40c thats going to cost you a lot of cash, thats why machines fill from both hot and cold taps, that take a little from doth to get the water to the right temp then start to wash, why no hot water then?????? coz you got it in a shed "A"!!! dont worry it will still work, cost a bome to do the washing but it works!

Most 'Bosch' are cold-fill only.

I have a S/H, Bosch, top-loading, slimline washing machine at the moment.

I pefer only to sell Bosch. They're the best value for money.
