Is it possible to use a hot & cold fill washing machine with just a cold supply?

You might move house and find the plumbing in the new house only has a cold water supply but your washing machine is a hot and cold fill washing machine. One option is to have a hot supply plumbed in but as virtually all modern washing machines are cold fill now it may be better to use a y-piece to convert your hot and cold washer to use only a cold water supply.

You can’t usually just connect the cold hose and leave the hot valve unconnected as explained here – Washing machine is a hot and cold fill, but I only have a cold water supply

Yes it is . Just buy blanking plug for hot fill inlet on the back on the machine.

Thanks Gordon: Some washing machines won’t work on all wash programmes without a supply of water to the hot valve though, particularly older washers.
