Hello Everyone,
I just bought an Electrolux ELFW7437AW washer and to my unpleasant surprise the 2024 washers have starting using vapors to clean my clothes. The wash cycle with "Solid Soil" activated does not add any noticeable water. My last Electrolux did make a noticeable difference in the added water.
The first water fill will add detergent and enough water to moisten 30% of the clothes. Then after 5 minutes the washer adds another couple of cups and there are approximately 2 cups of water additionally when the clothes are completely saturated in the wash drum. The amount of water is nearly identical to the newest LG front load washers. I work with clay soil and work out 5 days a week I really need more water to get the clothes clean.
I can add water to the washer through the detergent dispenser for the wash cycle but cannot time it correctly for the rinse’s cycles and even with extra rinses I’m starting to have skin problems from detergent residue. I use Tide liquid and never use more detergent over the lowest level on the measuring cap which is “1”.
Do any of you know if there is a way I can replace the factory water level sensor with an adjustable water level knob? I don’t need the water level as high as the door or anything just an inch of water in the drum after the clothes are saturated will provide excellent results as my last Electrolux top-of-the-line-machine did. Is it possible to adjust the water sensor in the machine to use a bit more water? I don’t care how the machine looks.
Thank you all in advance for your help,
Matt
