Washing in cold water is best anyway, hot water sets stains. Unless you have powerful odor you need the hot to help kill the source of.

All cycles end in cold for that reason but it's too late already for some clothes if you wash in hot, or even don't rinse out a stain in cold water when it happens.

Is there something wrong with the things you're washing? Don't create a problem, if things are getting washed, not shrinking, not falling apart, and everything is just fine, just consider that the machine is working as intended, which seems to be the case.

• Touch the window in the hatch during the first half of the cycle; is it warm?
• Measure the power consumption.

At the end of the cycle it always rinses with cold water, so it's completly normal that the clothes are cold

The rinse cycle uses cold water

Your washing machine has gone zen. Inner warmth only.

While the laundry is rinsed with cold water, before you could check, the machine itself can feel warm during the washing cycle. E.g. when I do a 60° washing cycle and I touch the upper side of the machine (it's a front loader) after about an hour it's warm.

Washer, dryer or a combo thing?
