Which make/model do you have? I have heard nothing but problems with
front loaders. The issues I have seen had to do with water staying at
the bottom after a wash cycle, musty odors, and circuit board errors.
I am not worried at spending money to heat the water, we have our
water heater set to a high hot water temp for our showers anyway.
