Well, clearly you can: I just have. but is it about to explode?!
An old AEG dishwasher model OKO Favorit 80800 Sensor Logic. Has one water intake. hose on said water intake is grey plastic effort with normal "washing machine" threaded connector. On this connector it says "90 degrees C max".
I have proved that the machine works fine with a cold supply. I guess it has an inbuilt water-heater & thermostatic control to make its own hot water.
what could be wrong with connecting it to the domestic hot water (which comes from a large hot water vessel, nominally running at about 50 C by the feel of it). electrically heated.
the dishwasher appears to have programs that run at lower temperatures (eg a "quick 40", whatever that means).
it seems unlikely that the machine will have a built in water cooler, so should I expect errors if/when it detects overtemperature?
why are all washing machines etc have only a cold feed since about 10 years ago? seems inefiicient in a setting with plenty of hot water sitting in a large bottle, but I am likely missing something.
