You know, I was thinking that most Front loaders have a built in heater. One thing that puzzles me is if it is for the wash cycle why not use it for the rinse cycle when selecting warm rinse. Program it to fill with cold water and than pause to heat the water to the precise warm water temperature and than tumble. Just a thought though.
It would be nice if the manufacture did this

On Wool
Mine does.
Many years ago - talking vintage here - it was standard in combination washer/dryers for the last rinse to be warm. The advertising claimed that warm water spun out better, rinsed better and dried faster.
Siemens/Bosch/Constructa/etc. out of that house had a "thermo-rinse" option for many years. Same basic claim, don't know if it really helped.
I do know that wool reacts badly to sharp temperature changes and agitation or tumbling, so can see the point in that.
Anybody have any firm data on whether a warm rinse really makes a difference today? I understand why it would have with soap. Not so sure about other detergents.

There are some LG washingmachines that have the ECO-option (or something like that), if you select this option the rinse cycles are automatically done with warm water.
I`ve heard about those Bosch Siemens Constructa washer-dryers in an old advertising. The ad just said the machine will warm up the laundry before drying to get considerably better extraction results with 800 rpm. I think it also mentioned the savings of energy. I didn`t know until now that the last rinse water was heated. Thought it might perhaps warm up the laundry after a short spin with hot air and then spin again. Have never seen one in action. Only know their "normal" washes of that time and I didn`t like them for not extracting between the rinses at all.
I find it hard to believe that there have been any savings of energy. Perhaps they only took the drying cycle into account.
Milchmädchenrechnung ?
I also wonder if there have been many faulty heaters because of limescale deposits, as in the Calgon ads. There should not be that much phosphates or whatever be left in the last rinse to protect the heater.

I only remember the thermospin as well. At the end of the rinse cycle it performed indeed a spin and then the machine started drying. After a while it performed a second spin and more water was spun out due to a lower viscosity.

Warm Water Rinse
The Hoover 'Quattro' (around 2000/2001) top end model had a warm water rinse option before the final spin. This was to improve the spin efficiency at the time, as competitors were starting to get clued up on the triple 'A' efficiency ratings.
