Yes, you can technically run your washing machine and do laundry if your water heater is broken, but you must adjust your washing settings to cold water only. Most modern washing machines draw hot and cold water independently through separate inlet hoses; using the cold wash and cold rinse cycle prevents hot water from being requested. However, if your water heater is broken due to a major leak or requires shutting off your home's main water supply, you cannot run your washing machine. Verification: Select the cold water setting on your washing machine and verify normal fill operation.
