I feel like you're going to need to ask something more specific.

Because based on your question, the machines mixes water and soap and runs through various cycles.


Hot water is generally 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius) or above.

Warm water is generally between 90 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit (32 to 43 degrees Celsius).

Cold water is generally between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit (16 to 27 degrees Celsius).

Most water heaters are set to 120-140º. So the washer will provide 100% hot water from the start if set to hot.

But if you turn the hot water on, and the water that comes out for the first 5-10 secs (or longer) because the water in the pipes is cold, then that's the water that you're going to get.

It's possible that some washing machines may heat the water, but I suspect those are rare, and probably only high end.
