Goodbye Electrolux W455H. Welcome Electrolux WH6-6

[fredriksam]

I dont have any own washing machine were i live. Instead i use the one that the belongs to the house. We use Karlskronahem as the house keeper so to speak. I live in a light handicap housing because i have Asberger and ADHD. We are 6 other people who live at the handicap housing.

When i moved into the handicap housing i live in in 2013 we had an Electrolux W455H Washing machine there. The machine was made around 2011 and previous people who lived at our place hadnt used it much.

The machine has worked faithful for us except an technical fault around 2015 or so. The machine is used every day in the week because we are 7 people who live there. Also our personel use it from time to time.

Some months ago i begin hearing the unmistikable rumblings from bearings. In the start nobody really seemed to notice but after some time they did. We called Karlskronahem and told the machine sounded bad. They promised come to us. Due to some misunderstanding it took some more time before they come.

Here below is the last video of the machine. I filmed that last week.

We got the new machine this monday. The new machine has the name Electrolux WH6-6 and its a 6 kg machine. The spin speed seems to be 1450 Rpm according to a website. It has many more programs and options than the old machine had. Here i present the features on it.

And today i used the 60 Celsius Eco program. It only rinses twice but i think thats normal for Eco programs. It spins very greater than the old one. It took less time drying the clothes.

Cycle starts with a dry spin?

Do all cycles start with a high-speed dry spin?

I wonder why . . . . ?

Load sensing

That can be turned off or on in the setup and depending on setting can even display load sizes pretty exactly (when set to do so).

Jaums: It do that for the load sensing.

henene4: i think you can skip it if you press start twice but i dont see a problem that it weight the clothes abnd it doesnt take long time. I always skipped it with the old machine but that was because it always took the same amount of water no matter the weight. I think the sensing was faulty on it.

Next video i filmed is the 40 celsius cotton colour wash with extra rinse. Tghe cotton programs has two options. Both colour and white wash on all temperatues except 95 where theres only white wash. I dont know the difference in the program between white or colour wash. I think they are similar.
