You mean: "...how to RINSE your gear."?

I imagine, especially if it’s a small load, allowing for things to bang around a bit, it’s a testament to a sturdy product if undamaged.

Not really. Its waterproof.

Not to pedantic, but while it is waterproof, its rated to be waterproof up to a certain temperature.
That is because the specifications of the sealing compounds and o-rings are rated to work up to a specific temperature.

I think washing machines get pretty hot.

You do you. I'm sure there are websites for that. Washing machine fetishes aside, there is nothing wrong with cold water cycles, as long as you put on some wool. As the artist formerly known as NetDoc likes to say: "Wash and let wash!"

The max water temp in the washer is dependent on the setting of the water heater. Which in my house can be more than I’d want to hold my hand in for more than a second or two. However, unless the OP was doing whites, it would not be advisable to crank up the heat as this can cause certain colors to bleed.

Too bad it didn’t register the dive, he could have given us a chart of the washer temp profile or at least the min max.
