Speed60 Alternating Spray Arms

 

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always wondered if the arms alternate on the Speed60 or if they all go at the same time.  It seems to me it uses a little more water and it really sounds like all three are going at the same time on the 60 minutes.  Does anyone know?</span>

Arms Alternating!

I used the speed60 cycle the first time I ran the unit and it does sound like the arms are alternating! I used normal once and Auto twice and the arms will alternate but at a certain point it seems like they are all running at the same time? It is hard to tell. I still have to try the heavy cycle!

I'm not entirely sure actually, but it is perfectly possible this design has the possibility to run all arms at once.

The tray is actually so that the detergent dissolves faster in a low water level cycle.
On most cycle, the water level is far below where the tab would fall without a tray.
In the tray it gets sprayed every time the top arm rotates once and gets hit from every direction basicly.

Now I know that the EU equivalent to heavy does prefer the bottom basket.
Idea is more cleaning action there.

But all cycles do use the middle arm during the first portion of heating to dissolve the detergent.

You guys could be mistakeing higher spray pressures for all arms going at once.

Keep in mind that any machine should have the EcoSilence drive which is variable speed and most cycles do change spray pressure several times through out a cycle.

Mine has the 30 min express cycle. I can't really tell if it's alternating on any cycle but on the Express cycle the machine definitely sounds louder like it's washing at high pressure
