Congratulations on your beautiful new Whirlpool washer, I love the styling of these machines modern and elegant.
It should be a really quiet machine thanks to its 3 Phase (Inverter) Induction Motor.
I wish you many years of happy washing.

The Duet doesn't have a 3-phase motor, only heavy duty commercial washers have 3-phase power run to them. 3-phase power is almost never run to residential areas because it's so incredibly expensive to have put in.

Simulated 3 Phase (Inverter Technology)
Hello Pulsator,
I'm an appliance engineer by trade and I can assure you that the Duets are fitted with 3 Phase Induction Motors. Your comments regarding 3 Phase power are correct however the Duet uses an Electronic Inverter to simulate a 3 Phase supply and raise the frequency to over 300Hz during the spin cycle; the high frequency is required to attain the high motor shaft speeds 10,000RPM plus on top spin.
A lot of top end washers use this technology from Hotpoint UK to Miele.

That wasn't a full load. Heavy duty would have started with warm water and heated it to hot. It is the equivalent of Stain Treat option on Kenmores.
Erik those are great pictures!!! Thank you. Congrats on the new machine and I love the round green lights circling around the buttons, those are super cool!
Nice pictures! Thanks! If you want even better results, I agree you should use powder instead of liquid detergent. And I would definitely try the Heavy Duty cycle sometimes, most whites can handle those temperatures. IIRC, the hottest temperature is 153*F (65*C) which isn't that hot for whites. Overhere in Europe we are used to washing whites much hotter.
BTW, that salad looks yummie!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I will try the Heavy Duty cycle, Bob and Louis, for sure the next time I wash that sheet to see if I can get the last stain removed. I will even use HOT !
So if there is another thread somewhere about the differences between the cleaning ability of Powder vs Liquid, let me know.
Otherwise, why is one preferred. I did see a box of HE the other day at the grocery store. I know your supposed to use that if your going to use the timed delay.

Erik, I'm not sure if there is a thread going on about powder vs liquid, I don't keep up with all the threads these days. Launderess might be able to tell you more about this, she is very knowledgeable on detergent. IIRC it is difficult to keep all the ingredients working in a liquid, powders are much more stabile.
