Hmmm... Picture Thread?
Sounds like a good time to start a front loader water level picture thread. Everyone start you front loaders on the normal/regular/cotton settings with no options and no clothing. When the machine has added water and load sensing is complete. Stop the machine and snap a picture of the water level in the tub. Post accordingly. I am especially interested in the difference between the older model and new model Speed Queens myself. | ||

Hey Malcolm..... I think we could take it one step further.... Put the drain hose on a 5 gal. or larger pail. Then you can estimate or pour off into gal jugs to determine the gallons. BTW: Do you have a Speed Queen front loader? Ray | ||

Unfortunately No
RayJay, I do not currently have a Speed Queen FL, but the model you are considering has interested me for a while. I would love to get my hands on a Service Manual for this model. Would make for some fun reading. I currently have a set of LG's that are OK, but I would trade them in a heartbeat for something more rugged. Like a SQ or a Miele. | ||

Both Lefever brothers have one (Combo52, Jeffadelphi). John sells them. Jason has a stack. Those are great machines. If I were going to go out and buy a new one it would be a SQ as you describe. | ||

Hi Steve. I really think they are great machines also. Do you think that they use a little more water? | ||

Here is the water level on the normal setting on my Frigidaire Gallery. It's almost even with the baffle.

Hi Steve, When you used John's was there some spashing on the window while washing? Was his model AFB50R? Accoring to the literature, it only takes 45 sec to ramp up to spin. Thanks in advance for your information and answers. Ray | ||

Ray---- E-mail John (Combo52) and ask him directly. He is a wealth of information. | ||

Load Sensing Bypass? Malcolm, How do you select the load sensing bypass on your paticular model? I have LG WM2233HW with the water plus option, but I swear it only adds like 2 cups more water. Is there a special backdoor or something? Thanks, Andrew | ||

Malcolm, What model of LG do you have? And does it add much more water with this option selected? | ||
