Speed queen front load video series

[brisnat81]

Hi helicaldrive,

What you describe is how FL washing machines determine the right amount of water and have done so for years.

They fill until the pressure switch is satisfied and if clothes absorb water they keep topping up until the switch has the right depth of water.

My Miele set that weighs the load will always fill to the same height during tumbling. If it’s full of synthetic gym wear and you turn the machine off the water level won’t rise much, with a full load of towels, if you turn the machine off the water will then come up over the bottom edge of the glass.

I’m not quite sure what you’re expecting the speed queen to do, or what you’ve experienced before. My Miele’s that weigh use the weight to suggest detergent dosing, wash time and tumble patterns, the water level on the Miele’s is locked into 3 or 4 preset levels depending on cycle and options.

Cheers

Nathan.

Stain Removal

When we purchased our Duet, I purposefully stained an old white t-shirt with numerous different stains. Everything almost came out using the Whites cycle, heavy soil, extra rinse, with Tide liquid. The only stains that remained were mustard and used engine oil. They were significantly lighter, but still were visible. It has never been my experience that cold water removes tomato stains well, and even warm still struggles unless you are using something with LOTS of enzymes.
Eugene, thanks for all the videos. I certainly appreciate them. It is quite sad to see that this is the last SQ residential FL.

Increasing water level

Just got my stainless version today
Saw somewhere on another post that someone mentioned that there were dipswitches on the control board that could raise the water level. If this is true, would you share some specifics as how to do that?
Thanks,
John
