Just got off the phone again with ALS What I was told is that SQ will not be using ATC on their machines because if they use it, it will affect all the water temperatures. It means no more tap hot. The ATC will have to regulate the hot coming in. So the machines will remain all tap fill...

Congratulations! Looking forward to hearing your reviews

Shame on Maytag Im guessing whoever that guy spoke to was not someone high up the chain. This is what is great about the internet and modern technology. Word of this gets out immediately to a wide audience. This type of failure and lack of responsibility from the manufacturers is deplorable...

Engineering firedome - my Dad is a retired mechanical engineer and he has *always* used that phrase. One of the main reasons I am going for the Speed Queen FL'er.

Spoke to ALS I have to say they are very nice. They said I can change the water temperature during the fill as we assumed we would be able to. I will just have to get used to tempering the water in my first fill to find a good washing temperature. Ive been using tap cold to do all my rinses...

This is very disturbing for at least three reasons. One, could you imagine if someone was near the machine while it started to tear itself apart? Would you even want to go and pull the power? Two, that a machine would allow itself to self-destruct like that. Three, that LG could...

Sorry I havent been back to thank you all again for your replies - had a great weekend with my daughter at a sci-fi convention :) Combo, my machines are in my basement and while it wouldnt be disastrous for a water leak, it wouldnt be fun. I am cramped for space however. The way that side of...

Alex, thanks for the tip! Im testing out the mix and temperatures both with the ATC and without - just for reference. I just did a load of jeans and let it use tap cold for the rinses and its not horribly "cold". Perhaps qualin can chime in on whether you can change the temperature during...

Qualin, thank you so much for your input. It really helps to get input from someone that owns the machine. I really wish I could see one in person, but I honestly dont think it would keep me from buying "sight unseen" :) My FL'er will unlock within 15 seconds if I push the knob in when its in...

Price does matter Im already stretching with the SQ FL'er. My parents told me to always buy the best you can possibly afford. I started my FL'er search with the Maytag Performance Series (MHWE301YW) and the LG (WM2350HWC). After much research I became really disgusted and disillusioned. I...

Current cold tap temperature & Q about Miele I measured my cold tap today - its 54F/12C. Its now late March and we had a mild winter. I am sure it gets MUCH colder during a typical winter. I really dont think any detergent (JMHO the cold water detergents are more gimmick than science) will...

"As far as SQ models with the heater, I'm sure you could still purchase a new or slightly used unit somwhere." The dealers in my area are out of stock on the model with the heater. "I personally don't notice any decrease in washing performance as a result of this. To the best of my knowledge...

Hi All! Im Lisa and new to the forum, but have been lurking for a few weeks. I currently own a 2001 Fridgemore FL'er. Its a 2.7cu.ft. with ATC option. I have been researching a new machine because my bearings are going. I really wish I could fix the machine (while I am technically inclined...
