The washing machine has a built-in heater to heat the water up higher than
your water heater gets it. It's nice for those of us with kids who want to
keep the water heater on 120 degrees for safety but want hotter water than
that for diapers or dog towels or whatever!

Yes it can. In UK almost all of us have front loading machines and we felt
and full happily.
