I just moved into a new apartment that has a washer and dryer. However, it seems as if the hot/cold water hoses were connected backwards. All of the rinse cycles are pumping out pure hot water. Unfortunately, I realized what was wrong a little too late and my favorite hoodie now has awkwardly short sleeves! So my question is, can I manually fill the washing basin with cold water when the rinse cycle starts? I'd like to still be able to do laundry while I wait for my maintenance request to go through.
Hi, Yes you can do that, it is time consuming but won't do any harm! Good luck!
You could - you would have to catch it right at the beginning of the rinse cycle - and also understand that water is injected during the spin cycle as well. Better to wait.
The hoses should go to faucets behind your washing machine. Move your machine out ( while empty ) , shut off the faucets and change the hoses. Turn the water back on and move the machine back. Should take care of the problem without having to wait for the maint. man. good luck
