On my 2012 Frigidaire FL, the machine fills with mostly cold water on the "Normal" cycle on the "hot" setting, even with the ATC disabled. The control board is hard-wired to severely dumb down the water temp, so that "hot" is actually luke warm and "warm" is cold.

Question: Could it be that the reason washer manufacturers do not include common-sense type features like an access panel to the pump screen on their machines for the US market is because they are afraid of possible litigation? I mean, the US is the most litigious society in the world as far as...

I too have the Frigidaire Affinity and still don't have any build-up of any kind after almost two years of use. I just keep the door open with the "fresh air latch" and it stays as fresh as it was when I first bought it. I did not have very good results using liquid Tide or pods, which are...

"no computer" You're both right, but without the computer, we wouldn't know that the rest of us exist. I mean, when I was a kid, I used to be mortified when my mother would tell her friends "he loves washing machines". That was so embarrassing because I thought I was the only one on earth who...

We never had a microwave until the early '90s. My grandmother, who lived with us, did not trust them and refused to have one in the house. She did all her own canning when things were in season. A friend of my mother still used a wringer washer on her porch until the mid-eighties. I'm "only" 41...

Others here know more than I, but I'm going to say it's your shock absorbers. They are either broken or came disconnected somehow. You might want to check those first...

If these machines ever make it to the US, they would cost around $2,770.00 US. I don't much fancy paying that kind of money for a plastic Korean washer. I'd rather buy a Miele if it came down to it, thank you very much. I like what Eugene said about future machines not even having controls and...

this guy is on youtube as well. He has several videos of him doing this to washers. Not quite sure what his malfunction is, but there are some that simply get off on destruction. God help them....

Affinity I also have an Affinity front loader (2012). They do seem very picky about when they spin. I also have rubber-backed bathroom rugs and I find just washing the two of them leads only to frustration, which is why I actually bought another set of cotton bath rugs to wash along with them...

A friend of mine in Munich had a Hoover washer/dryer combo that still had the Royal Warrant on it and that was in 2005. Not sure when he bought it though. It was fairly new back then as I recall.

If I were to apply the above to myself, who washes 2-3 loads A WEEK in my BOL Frigidaire FL, that would mean my machine would last at least 30 years....not bad for a $ 600.00 machine.

Surely one could contact Buckingham Palace and ask which brand(s) of washing machine are used in HM's royal laundry rooms...Ditto the White House...Now you've got my curiosity piqued....

wow.. I thought for sure that the WP bearings would be available from RepairClinic dot com. I have heard that once the machine has been dismantled, the bearings can be purchased separately by ordering them by the number on the bearing from a bearing supplier, which is usually cheaper. It all...

Huebsch Not sure if you know this, but Speed Queen in Canada is known as Huebsch. In USD a SQ front loader is about $1600.00 (If I remember correctly. Others here will know better). Trying to replace the bearings yourself might be an option. As logixx said, there are lots of videos on youtube...

I notice the doors of these newer models seem to have smoked lenses on them. That doesn't appeal to me. I like the clear lenses on my Affinity's so I can see what's going on. That would be a reason for me to possibly not buy those machines

Ask yourself this: If cold water cleans just as well as hot water, then why do all dishwashers use only hot water?

Frigilux: Let me know what you think of the Tide Washing Machine Cleaner. I used to use it but switched to Affresh for a while. I've also used the two cups of bleach for the cleaning cycle. I find after using Tide WMC that the machine smells like Sprite, whereas the Affresh has a slightly more...

I went to Walmart yesterday looking for Woolite to wash my LL Bean wool socks with. Walmart usually has the best selection of detergents in town. Almost an entire aisle of laundry products was liquids or pods. I looked for Purex powder because it is a Henkel product and found in the lonely four...

As much as I hate to admit it.... we here ARE a minority. Not everyone is as "into" laundry and white goods as we here are. To most it is an odious chore, a necessary evil. The average person on the street just wants to throw the clothes into machine XYZ and have them clean as quickly as...

I'd like to add to what Rick said: I think it is also laziness that is being catered to here. He's right. Many do not want to have to think about how to solve a problem or how best to do something as simple as dosing detergents (I myself have been guilty of this). Only thing is, letting P&G...
