Electrolux washers

[thomasortega]

sure, during the wash and rinse cycles, water should never reach the door seal

what i mentioned about water above the door during the long pauses is only to demonstrate how much water it uses when washing a bulky and absorvent load.

There's something I don't like on those machines. the water spray above the door.

if the water pressure is too low in your house, water won't spray and there will be a lot of detergent residue on the glass.

The stain clean button in a 5 minuet soak break within the wash cycle.
Really un-called for when there is not much water in the unit!
And I did used LCB!?!

 

[thomasortega]

This 5 minutes stain clean option sounds too dumb, but at least it istill agitating (with long pauses) and the rotation is sinchronized to let all the parts soaking for a few seconds.

It's not one of the world's 7 wonders, but it's better than nothing.

Now Does The Electrolux Come With The Pedestal??

I Know I Spelt It Wrong

[cleanteamofny]

Yes

It does at the cost of $250.00 per stal.....

I can't believe how much the manufacturers charge for the pedastals. I don't even use mine, I just like them for the added height. Mine were included with the rental payment from Rent-a-Center.

So these can be rented?

I may like to try one for a week, just to see what it does! Also, there's a couple Whirlpool top-loaders I'd like to test as well. Maybe I should look them up.

I left something out on my last post. I rented my Frigidaire set from Rent-a-Center. I don't know if RAC will be carrying the Electrolux machines or not. I know they rent the Whirlpool Duet and at one time the Maytag Neptunes. I don't go in there much anymore since I have everything paid off.

Just checked RAC's website for front load washers they have only the Whirlpool Sport Duet. For top loaders they only have Whirlpool.

When I first started renting the Frigidaire set it was from RentWay, then RentWay was purchased by Rent-a-Center about a year later.

Hi Larry.

How are you making out washing other loads of clothes in your household? How did the mattress pad come out after the second wash. At times, there are stains that have to be pre-treated.

My Frigidaire with control board trouble:

 

[cleanteamofny]

So far things are a little cleaner and time goes by.
There is a learning curve that takes time, but once getting over that huddle, its get easier!
I must watch my detergent dosing, some detergent will create suds cakes that takes a long time to beat down and Cheer HE ia a bad offender!

Now let the fun begins:
When doing bulky items, the front area takes a long time to get wet, so by starting the wash cycle on Quick Wash,
it allows fresh water to splash on the clothes while filling, then cancel and set the cycle to start a new cycle with detergent.
This is the only way that the front get wet quickly!

Another thing, the machine does not fluff the load after the cycle is completed.
A fluffer job is not all that bad if it's done right?
Right?

bulky loads

I gradually replaced the down comforters with synthetic fill comforters, due to allergies. As Laundress pointed out, these items can contain lots of air, which can inhibit entry of water and soap into the fabric and filling during a wash cycle.

I have a Frigidaire 2140 which does not have a "bulky" cycle. My solution is to run a "soak" cycle with 1/2 dose of detergent and then run a full Heavy cycle. Cleaning is good and there are no balancing problems, because the comforter emerges from "soak" thoroughly saturated (and reduced in volume with the air gone). I follow the same procedure for pillows.

The 2140 does not advance from soak to wash cycle automatically. The machine lacks two separate soap compartments, one for soak and one for wash. I have to be there to reload the soap and restart the machine. However, this is a seldomly used process (several times a year at most, so I only do it when I will be home for a 4-5 hour stretch) and it beats having to buy a new machine. And it works.

LOL...Fluffer

CleanteamofNY...you made me laugh.

No, a fluffer job isn't bad at all if done right but on the other hand maybe it saves a little time in the cycle as a whole...we are talking about fluffing the laundry, right?

I would guess the clothes are plastered against the drum but is a fluffing at the end of the cycle really necessary?

 

[cleanteamofny]

George, not exactly!
LOL

Raising the naps gives the skin and clothes goose bumps, making it easier to get the job done quickly.......
LOL

 

[mark_wpduet]

Weird!

I just tried something on my DUET. I do have a "soak" cycle on my machine. Here is what happened:

I loaded the machine, started soak cycle with warm water, once it was finished filling I paused the machine and turned to "normal cycle" with "more soil" and "extra rinse" and restarted. The machine filled with more water then tumbled with a good amount of water. The first and second rinses were normal, but here is the weird part. The final (third) rinse was whacked! It barely used ANY water, seriously. It was as if the Duet was saying, "since you used way to much water for the wash, I'm not gonna make up for it in the final rinse!" Literally the final rinse had so little water as compared to a normal rinse I could not believe it.

 

[cleanteamofny]

I have a little time on my hands.

I'm home sick with a sinus cold and I knew that I was coming down with something when my nose started to bleed last week,
so last night tissues balls and towels was used to get the beeding under control. Here's a picture of the towel before placing in the machine.

 

[mark_wpduet]

DAMN!

It looks like someone was stabbed! Hope u get better soon

 

[cleanteamofny]

Yep, it was a bloody mess!
