Probably internal heater. Warm water connection probably saves having to connect up the gas.
Oh come on, don't tell me that US washing machines are filled up with gas. That would be hilariously stereotypical XD
I don't mean petrol if that's what you think. But the actual gas people use to heat their homes and water anyways.
LOL, still.
Oh, okay, the non-liquid gas, I see. Still: The washing machines contain a little burner and exhaust and all that and heat their water with gas? Never seen that here, always just an electric heater in there.
Our 40+ year old washer and dryer both run on gas, they indeed have an exhaust out the roof which they share with our boiler.
Electric replacements and heatpump are coming soon tho.
