   You seem to be confusing the terms "cold fill" and "cold wash":  the   
   machine will heat the cold-fill water when you set it for a hot wash.   
      
   Given the reduced amount of water used by modern washing machines and   
   the distance in most houses between the HW tank and the washing   
   machine, most of the "hot fill" will be what's currently sitting in   
   the pipes, and the machine will have to heat it up anyway if you're   
   going to run a hot wash.
