So I've had that little Robert devil sitting on my shoulder

[rp2813]

I need to figure out how to do this to my Affinity. I just crammed in a load of shorts and tee shirts today and was appalled at how little water that machine thought was adequate. It's very rare that I don't have to add more. I am currently adding water manually via 100 oz liquid Tide container, and some loads require filling four of those babies up and dumping them in. It would sure be a lot easier if I could just get the machine to use at least enough water to come up into the bezel and not compromise the spider thingy.

Jon, you are personally responsible

for making me want a Duomatic.

Now I want one of these, too.

Sigh.

Updated Mine

I just completed updating mine. I didn't go 2 full turns though. I raised the water level to right at the lower edge of the door. Got a load of sheets washing now. The sloshing sound is much more noticable than before. I'll run this way for a week or two and guage performance. Thanks for posting the instructions.

F L WASHER WATER LEVELS

More water won't hurt the spider or the bearings it will probably make the spider last longer.

I don't have the small door, John does. I have one of the early big doors.

water level

Hi Malcolm I set the water level just over the boot so it touches the glass door. Nice slosh going on.

Greg you will be slapped this spring!

My Duo passed the sweatshirt test!!!!

Mt SQ didn't.

 

[appnut]

What's the sweatshirt test?

Water Level

My water level is just below where the boot meets the glass. Only did a load of sheets last night. But the second rinse was pretty clear of an detergent residue. Third rinse was probably not necessary.

Dr Frigidaire has the "sweatshirt test". Using 1 sweatshirt will the machine wash, rinse spin UP TO SPEED and complete its cycle.

For me it's a bathrobe test. I like a challenge!

Spider Damage

OK, I've read a lot about how easily the spider can be ruined on FL machines. Is it just a sudsing issue and not a water level issue? If that's the case, I will definitely want to increase the water level on my Affinity. The factory settings are absolutely inadequate, and I'm tired of adding water manually in order to effect decent laundering results.

Bathrobe test

Oh My! That would be a deal breaker for sure!

Dr. Frigidaire

I'm very impressed by your prowess to trick a new machine like that. I imagine it raises all the levels across the board including wash. Wonder if there's a way to keep the wash level low but the rinses high up the glass?

Hi Eddy

I think you would need two seperate cicuits to the MB and two pressure switches to do that. I'm only up to 4 gallons about for a fill, the old Duos used 7 gallons on a fill so I am still saving 3 gallons per fill.

I am getting to really like this machine the more I use it.

Jon, those lines on the bottle cap aren't just brilliant aesthetic design, they're used for measuring!
