But when the fill is finished, not so great. This is 2 bath towels and 3 pairs of jeans. |

I'm afraid to even find out what the Small Load button does. Washes in no water at all? Or is it a fake where you push that button and get a full tub of water. This is pretty ridiculous. |

You will only get clothing damage (with full water level) if you use the wrong type of fabric in a regular cycle. |

Is that a standard or super capacity Whirlpool? The water level lower than full is nothing new, the apartment complex in Phoenix I lived had Speed Queen toploaders - branded WEB for the giant coin-op company - and those machines only filled 2/3 full. That was 1990. If you pulled the tub to the front left corner of the machine and left it there before starting it, you could get a bit more water by tricking the pressure switch. They were in a communal laundry room at the front of the complex but on Saturday mornings, the sound of a roomful of those washers grinding out loads of poorly rinsed clothes carried for a whole block.
See? Toploaders will be gone soon. Make everyone hate them and the transition is easy. Stooping, bending and reaching for everyone :-) |

Standard capacity...
Seems to me that the water level is set by inches... Wash is set at 9 inches and rinse at 6 inches. They used to have short agitators for Whirlpool coin ops. The water would still be low, but would come to the top of the agitator. The little nubby barrel fins were replaced with paddles. They also had short post dual-action agitators for the TOL models. |

If the owner activates the Super Cycle, the display will blink between the regular price and the super cycle price. In my store, I have the regular cycle price at $2.00 and Super Cycle at $2.50. If only the regular price is inserted and a cycle is selected, while the machine is filling, it will blink .50 to allow the user to upsell to Super Cycle.

Any chance you can get a pic of the tub empty? I'm more concerned that 5 items practically fills the tub full, than the amount of water used. |
