Does selecting a cold wash also guarantee cool drying?

No. The washing temperature and drying treatment are separate choices or programme characteristics. A low or cold wash setting does not establish the later drying conditions.

Understanding this situation

A garment can tolerate cold washing but prohibit heated tumble drying. A continuous programme must therefore be selected using both parts of the care label and the model's complete programme table.

A useful next step

Check the drying option before starting, especially when using a saved combination. Use wash-only and an appropriate alternative drying method where required. If damage occurs, record the full sequence rather than assuming the cold wash protected the item from every later treatment.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
