A friend of mine is moving into a new apartment and the slot under the worktop for the washing machine only has a cold supply. Her existing machine has hot and cold feeds. Adding a hot water supply is OTT as when she gets settled down she will be able to replace her washing machine with a new cold feed only model and one that fits the silver colour scheme she wants.
It is a Hotpoint First Edition 1000 and the question is "Do I need to cap off the hot feed on the washer before I install the machine for her?"
I am worried that water may come out of the hot feed entry point but I am sure there must be some check valve in the machine to prevent this.
