Samsung washing machine cold water for both inlets

[Downaski]

Can Samsung automatic washing machines operate correctly if only cold water is connected to both the hot and cold inlets?

Samsung automatic washing machines can generally operate if only cold water is connected to both the hot and cold inlets. The machine will fill, agitate, and spin normally, but cycles that normally use hot water will run with cold water instead, which can reduce cleaning effectiveness, especially on heavily soiled or greasy items. Some newer models include internal heating of cold water, but not all machines have that feature. It is also important to ensure the hot‑water inlet is properly capped if unused to prevent backflow or pressure issues. Checking the manual for the specific model will confirm how it handles cold‑only connections and whether any cycles are impacted.

yes it perform both

yes it perform both

Thanks!

Does using cold water for all cycles change the energy usage or cycle duration of the machine?

For Samsung washing machines with both hot and cold inlets, connecting cold water to both inlets will allow the machine to operate, but cycles that normally use hot water will run with cold water, which may reduce cleaning effectiveness, particularly on heavily soiled or greasy items. Machines without internal water heating will not heat the water, so energy use and cycle duration remain similar to normal operation. Machines with internal water heating may warm the cold water for certain cycles, so cleaning performance may be closer to normal, but energy use could be higher and some cycles slightly longer while the water heats. Checking the manual for the specific model will confirm how cold-only operation affects performance, energy use, and cycle behavior.
