I also considered an older commercial FL simply because I was satisfied with the amount of water used (i.e. a sufficient amount) which was much superior to these water-use regulated commie-washers sold for home use. But a lot of prep work would be needed, as they must be about 8" off the ground...

How can these new FL's claim to be so energy-friendly when they have to waste tons of electricity in wash times to make up for insufficient water use??

Hey the machines look great, I've seen them @ Home Depot also. Don't they have a soil level button on them? If so what does the washer do differently on each setting?

If thats the case I could let it just fill up on K, then move it back to A,B,C or whichever to continue the rest of the cycle. I hope the "Energy Star" a.h.'s didn't mess with the higher water levels on the PP cycle on the newer Danby models.

Steve was the water level higher on the perm press cycle even before you made the adjustments? And again thanks to both you & Jeff for sending the wiring diagrams. I should be getting this done over the next few days!

Cool I will keep that in mind .... are there any wiring diagrams I would need besides the instructions? My email is in my profile. Patrick (mistervain)

Congrats! The more slosh the better!

Steve you are the man! Thanks for taking the time to help me. I plan on rigging it for "water plus" at all times -- no switch. The more water the better. So that at least cuts out some of it. And I'm going to pass the instructions on to an electrician friend -- who could probably do this better...

Thanks designgeek for the info. STEVE I have called around and no luck finding the Danby with the water-plus button. The only thing feature a salesperson mentioned is the extra rinse button. So I'd have to buy it and hack the system but would definitely need some guidance from someone who's done...

Jeff whats the exact model number of yours ? I don't want to get the version that doesn't have the water plus button.

THANK YOU Launderess! I'm going to look into this....and find me a Danby with the water level options! :)

Thanks for the info Jeff....I emailed Danby and they said I needed the hookups in my condo to use it....but if what u r saying is true how could I hook it up since I'd have to use the tub or kitchen faucet to fill and drain? Sorry for the seemingly dumb questions but I'm just seeing if there's a...

Jeff I want your Danby! My condo doesn't have W/D hookups though....:(

STEVE I'm not electronics-knowledgeable at all but if you rigged it like that couldn't anyone? Meaning would all the Danbys have those same switches you played with.

Jeff I am definitely going to check out some of the dealers in my area. I appreciate the tip and everyone's feedback. This topic has taken on a life of its own! I'm very interested to find out what happens from playing with the wiring on the water level switches....

Thanks for the photos Jeff. The perm press cycle has the kind of water level I am looking for. Hopefully these models are still available?

JEFF thanks for the info....what's the highest your water level gets? Could you post a picture of it during the wash? And when did you buy your Danby?

I have tried everything, HE detergent, powder, liquid, you name it. The low/non-existent water level has worked fine for dirt removal, but I would rather wear clothes with stains than ones that reek of underarm, even after multiple washings. The consumer ought to be able to decide the water...
