If I remember correctly, during the heating phase the SQ FL with the boosted hot water option would heat for 55 seconds, then the heater would turn off and the drum would tumble for 5 seconds. This would continue until the proper temperature was reached. Then the heater would turn off and the...

My Whirlpool built HE3t fills via an opening near the top left of the door, directing the water into the center of the tumbling load. The load is saturated before the proper water level is achieved, so I assumed circulation had other benefits.

Here is a link to an ad for it http://www.vintagepaperads.com/1985-Speed-Queen-Ultra-Mate-Washer-and-Dryer-Ad--Discover-space-in-unexpected-_p_136052.html

It was a speed queen Ultra Mate.

I remember many years ago coming across a stacked washer and dryer where the washer was a top load machine. It was hinged on the front bottom edge of the washer, and had a handle across the top front. You would pull on the handle to tilt the washer forward to load. I thought it was the craziest...

Apparently the "Internet is very divided" by the ad http://https//www.queerty.com/internet-divided-jockstrap-sniffing-commercial-gain-20180710?utm_source=Queerty+Subscribers&utm_campaign=02047b75bf-20180710_Queerty_Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_221c27272a-02047b75bf-430647073

Perhaps it is a manual fire alarm bell? http://https//youtu.be/clhiwvjU8uI

Interesting! Where did you find the picture of the menu, Henrik? Are there more?

Sounds like a sign of something new coming, Bob. I couldn't find the new models on the Energy Star website. One model has a "how to wash" option of "Sanitize with OXY," yet it also had a steam button. Normally machines with that option do not have a built in heater. I have seen some Photoshop...

There are new pictures of FL washers in the Whirlpool Digital Library. Based on the pictures, which could be computer generated, it looks like they are extending the (What to wash/How to wash) interface to the FL machines. There is a model with a touch screen built into the door. Hopefully it...

Thanks, Launderess. Not only are you chock-full of knowledge, you’re so a speedy typist! I looked on Tide Purclean’s webpage, and it too says it has no optical brightners.

No Optical Brightners Since Gain Botanicals says it has no brightners, would it be good to use on dark clothes? I am currently using powdered Cheer for dark loads, but want to know what other options I have.

Thank you for the responses! It is good to know that it is used on multiple cycles. My washer is almost 15 years old, so I like to have an idea of what to consider if it needs to be replaced.

I have a Bosch dishwasher which uses condensation drying and have always used rinse aid. The manual says it is important for drying, and when I first used the dishwasher and saw how shiny and spot free everything came out, I never thought not to use it. My dispenser is set in the lowest setting...

Do LG FL washers heat the water on cycles other than sanitize?

It is a little funny how the wording of the article seems to imply that people may be potentially sharing bath towels, although I think they might just be talking about sharing hand towels. Sharing bath towels isn’t a thing, right...

Congratulations on your new machines!

The Lowe's in South Philly has this on display: LG FL washer on a sidekick pedestal washer, topped off with a dryer. I am 5'10" and couldn't reach all the dryer controls standing on my toes! This must be a mistake, right?

Thanks for the responses. It sounds interesting, although I imagine it is much more expensive v. one that regenerates itself. Perhaps a system where the resin is replaced each month also negates the need for a drain by the water softener.

Congratulations on moving to a new place and get new appliances. It sounds like everything is working out for you, and your new place has a nice arrangement. I am curious about the Culligan tank that gets changed monthly.I have never heard of such a thing. Does it contain salt, a replaceable...
