50 hz timer motor

Actually:

· The water heater's rarely located right next to the washer. Add this up to a minimalized water intake and by the time the hot water reaches the machine, the intake valve shuts off. You'll end up with cold water in the washer, while using gas to heat your pipes ;-). · The fully-computer-controlled ones usually don't take water in, they 'sip' it, in order to reduce the water usage even further. (Take in a little splash of water, give the drum one spin to soak everything, repeat until sensors -> fuzzy-logic -> water_level="sufficient". Water usage is fully load-dependant!) That 'sipping action' can break some types of water heaters! · There /are/ some 'hot fill' models available on order. A niche, usually marketed for people with solar (water) heaters.

Ahaha yeah, we have lots of solar water heaters here in the UK.

Until a few years ago all but the basic budget models here were dual fill. We recently tried to get a hot fill washer dryer and couldn`t find a decent make so equipped.

Some 'eco-mentalists' do. (Not that I'm one of them) ("Look at me! I'm saving the planet! I've sacrificed my whole roof AND my savings. I don't care about that ROI stuff!" Ahem...)

I sincery apologise for not stating clearly that I'm strictly talking about the "here and now" situation. And please bear in mind, that the above mentioned reasons are only due to fairly recent developments. (Probably kick-started by EU efficiency ratings and some temporary subsidies for 'top-efficiency-rated' appliances.)

Told you... Last time I've checked (and I'm mentally blocking out models that still have mechanical timers¹), the only ones I could find WERE targeted at 'eco-mentalists'. Actually, the hot water inlet could be re-programmed as 'rain water inlet' (for those with a large rain water collecting tank) to conserve even more water, using tap water for the final rinse only (for 'health and safety' reasons).

¹) Yes, I'm spoiled. I do happen to like the presence of a water clarity sensor and some software that 'automagically' adjusts the parameters if one load happens to be more soiled than usual, ensuring the same level of cleanliness all the time.
