I've come to the annoying realization that my washing machine (relatively new Maytag) and I disagree over what a reasonable temperature for cold/warm/hot water is. after reading online, it certainly seems like a problem with the washing machine design, not a malfunction. The standard should be 30/40/50 deg c, but in practice I'm getting 60,75,85 deg F (you can do the conversion). I was kicking around the idea of adapting a shower valve and running the H/C through that valve and into the washing machine on the cold line, which is the only setting that is 'tap' temp, with no mixing. that way I've got full control over the temp all the way from tap hot to tap cold. I'd have to do some initial calibrations, but I should be able to easily identify where each temp stop would be.
the only downside would be I would have to rinse on the same temperature, but I'm willing.
Any thoughts?
