My Frigidaire Modification!

I'm not here to spoil your fun, but it's actually better to have a lower water level in the main wash. The wash action is cushioned by the higher water level and the suds, so you will not get the full wash action. There should be enough water in the drum to get the clothes saturated but not so much that the clothes drop back into the water. They should fall at the side of the drum, just over the water level.

I agree. I rented a house about 10 years ago that had a BOL Servis FL and I used to pour a half bucket of water to the machine to raise the water level of the wash water in the belief that it would give better results. It took a while but I noticed that whenever I raised the water level, especially on white washes with dirty dish cloths, tea towels and table linen, the results were never as good and I stopped doing it. The results spoke for themselves. I have never done it since so, whilst you might prefer to raise water levels for rinses, it is not always a good idea to do so for the wash. Just my opinion!

Thats OK guys

I agree, stain removal works better with the lower water level as you said.

The reason I prefer the higher level is because it has been much more effective for me with odor removal (underarms).

And of course, much more fun to watch

Decodriveboy, tomturbomatic here has used Borateem for years for odor removeal. He swears by it, especially in the more hot humid months.
