"Fluff" At the end of the cycle is common with laundromat washers like SQ and is indeed to help decrease wrinkling. Fluffing also helps with unloading the washer as laundry is not plastered to the tub after spinning. "Flushing" on some front loader models probably is clean the dispensers of any previous laundry product residue before the actual cycle. May also be some washers way of making sure the pump is filled with water so all the detergent goes into the wash, instead of some into the pump. I'm only guessing on this. The flushing also could be the cycle starting but the door is not locking due to the famous "add an item" feature many American front loaders have. Supposely Americans are very sloppy sorting their laundry and always seem to have a sock or pair of shorts "forgotten". Those used to top loading washers prolly were upset that once the washer reached a certian water level on a front loader it is not possible to open the door to add the errant item. Sounds after the m achine ends. Common on older mechanical front loaders as the timer may have a bit more to run before it reaches "off", even though the cycle is complete. My guess is something similar is going on with your units as well. Launderess |
