The hot water is only as high as your hot water heater is set to. It is pretty hot for me because I don't have kids who would get burned accidentally washing hands or showers. It also has a warm setting. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi- Heating water in your home uses energy. To conserve energy, new washers are designed to limit the amount of hot water used by adding some cold water to the fill when you select HOT water. This allows the washer to fill without causing your water heater to need to replenish as much hot water, which reduces the amount of energy used by the water heater. The U.S. Department of Energy revised their standards and federal guidelines for hot water energy consumption for all clothes washers. These changes affect all washer manufacturers in order to save energy and conserve resources. All manufacturers must comply with the new standards. We are committed to meet the Federal energy standards and deliver a product that upholds GE Appliances wash performance standards. To comply with these standards, HOT water temperature selection is a mixture of hot and cold water from your household plumbing. When you select HOT, you will receive some cold water with the fill; this is normal. Additionally, new laundry detergent is formulated to work with any water temperature for wash performance. For best wash performance, we recommend: HE (high-efficiency) Detergents, Oxygen (Oxi) Detergents. Keep in touch! SUE@GEA
