   In Europe, all washing machinew have been and are cold fill. They all   
   are now computer controlled, with a microcontroller obviously, and a   
   PCB, of course. Why would you want to make it hot fill as you're not   
   saving up anything, here most houses have solar water heaters so hot   
   water is practically free, even with minimum sunshine in winter.it's   
   also very usual in Israel (in hebrew it's dud shemesh-            דיד   
   (שמש   
   in greek it's heliothermo-ηλιόθερμο. there are many types of cold fill   
   washing machines here. from 5 kilos up to 10 and with the usual   
   universal brushed motors for AC to brushless direct drive motors.   
   traditionally they had asynchronous motors with run capacitors and   
   electromechanical programmers. very durable.you could even take the   
   motor for rewinding. now the whole motor-tacho assembly must be   
   exchanged if defective.
