Darren, check your email. I sent you along the Calypso service manual and some instructions on what to check on your machine and where in the manual it can be found. Please let me know that you got it and if it helps or not.

Hey Darren, did the pictures in the manual make any sense to you as to what to look for on your machine? Just let us know here and we can at least try to point you in the right direction, though it should be pretty straightforward as there isn't all that much to it. Hopefully you can "see" the problem right away based on the pictures in the manual. I wish I knew more, but the only thing I've ever done with my machine is change out the u-joint/leveler and seals from the original to the upgraded part. Haven't worked on them otherwise.
Calypsos run multiple rinse sequences even without the Extra
Question for Dadoes: Just what exactly do you consider "a rinse"?
Above you stated the Calypso can have up to six or seven rinses. I'm sorry but I'm confused by that statement because I just don't see how you come to that number.
I consider a rinse to be... when the wash or rinse water is drained out and then replaced with fresh water >AND/OR< when water is sprayed in during a spin and pumped out and down the drain.
You also mentioned bleach dilution. The bleach dilution is part of the main wash... it pauses and adds a small amount of water (twice) to draw the LCB from the reservoir then continues. As the bleach is added to the existing wash water, I don't see how that’s a rinse.
Can you clarify this for me please?
Thanks!
Kevin

Kevin,
The Calypso dispenses bleach during the first rinse cycle, not during the main wash cycle. When you select the Whitest Whites cycle, the machine automatically adds a rinse cycle. So, after the machine drains the wash water, it refills and empties the bleach dispenser then recirculates that water over the load for about 3 or so minutes. It then drains and spins and continues rinsing.
In the Calypso, rinses take one of two forms. One is a spray rinse, where fresh water is sprayed over the clothes as the residual soapy water is pumped out. These only last for a couple of minutes or so, and are followed by a quick spin or brief periods of nutation to turn the load over for the next spray rinse. The number of rinses depends on the cycle. The final rinse in the Calypso sprays fresh water over the clothes as it empties the fabric softner dispenser and recirculates that water over the load for several minutes. It then drains and completes the final spin. It's a pretty effective rinser. Even gives a choice of a warm rinse option.
