alright so on my DIY quest to remove another rubber band from the washing machine pump i sheared the cold feed.
nothing like an explosive spray of mains pressure cold water to revive you ;)

now i assume i can run the machine on hot feed only for tonight,until i can buy a replacement tomorrow?
 
Thought east cost folk used washboards:devil:

Correct, swap hose to cold feed only - lower temperature washes will work fine. Rinses use cold water only, so machine would hang up waiting for water. And don't just connect the hot to the cold valve - you'll shrink stuff!

The thermostat is buggered on ours so if there is hot water in our tank, then its constantly on boil wash :p
