You could watch the power draw with a smart plug.
Comment on Is my laundry machine broken?
Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 3 days agoDo you have a multimeter? Would you consider yourself handy? If you’re comfortable trying, you can find the model (usually on the inside of the door or on the back). Look up “taking apart X washer machine” there’ll be videos on disassembling.

While that would work, it’s massively overkill for the original question about whether the water is getting hot. There are much simpler and definitive ways to get the answer.
Now, if it’s broken and they want to fix it, multimeter all the way

I’m a big “take it apart and see what’s what” kinda guy. Probably overkill but it could also be a good learning experience.
