    We’ve just moved house and there is only a cold supply for the washing machine. Our Hotpoint WMA56 has always been used with hot and cold supplies. Looking at the instruction manual, for cold-fill only we need an adapter “from our Hotpoint dealer”.

    Can’t imagine there are many dealers around who would have anything for a machine that old 🙂

    Can anyone tell me if I need anything more complicated than a screw-on blanking cap for the hot inlet?

    Hi

    Both hot and cold need to be connected for the machine to function correctly.


    Simple solution is to fit a Y piece. There are cheap plastic ones around but I prefer to use a brass one more expensive but much more durable.


    HTH 😀

    Just ordered the Y-hose since the supply pipe is too close to the wall for the brass adapter.

    Many thanks both for your constructive and helpful responses.

    I always get 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} value from my admittedly rare visits here 🙂
