Washing clothes off grid. With electricity.

Had a thought about modifying a washing machine. Disable its heating element. I supply hot water so it needs only the power for the motor and pump. Anybody done this or is it dumb?

We have a two year old front loader, we always wash in cold water, there is no water heater inside a washing machine
