What does the “Economy” option on a washing machine actually do?

the_wigan_pie_eater asked:


I have a standard Zanussi washing machine that is est. 10-15 years old. It has an “Economy” option.

All I can gather that this does is avoid using hot water from the house hot water tank and heats the water within the washer using an electric element.

As heating the water by electricity is both more expensive and more carbon intensive than heating it by gas – where is the economising?

Or am I incorrect in my assertation to what the “Economy” button does?
