 More of the same complaints. Interesting that Whirlpool says this is an unusual complaint and the consumer might have "water quality problems". Hmmmm...

yuck
These new generation agitator washers that don't rinse are for the birds. Especially when you consider people use regular sudsing detergent in them and they have a relatively low spin speed.
Which brings up a point. Why do they even make regular detergent now days? Why not only make HE? HE cleans great in front or top loading machines. Who needs suds? Suds do not clean your clothes. We are far enough removed from the days of "soap" when suds did indicate whether you had enough product in the water. Instead of 57 kinds of Tide, why not just Tide...no suds and a nice clean scent?? | ||

Searching this site... I thought the same thing - perhaps reading the thread that was posted a while back on the Roper Rinse Rash?
"The inside of the drum looks clean but here's what you can't see..." Really? First day on the job?
I've seen far too many DD washers, and GE ( really, all neutral drainers) that leave a ring of scum around the basket, inside and outside and a horrific ring of scum on the outer tub. The belt-drive WP-KM washers used a spray rinsing routine that was partially directed at the basket so it had a much better chance of helping keep the machine a bit cleaner. They've just moved the scum-line to the lower parts of the tub by filling with less water. Lower and lower fill-levels and little or no spray rinsing to help clean the machine. The machines that do have a squirt or two in the final spins direct the water to the bottom of the basket so as to reach the clothes that are lying in a hair and suds covered lump after the draining, but this does nothing for the upper parts of the basket and tub. Even the washer cleaning products sold will do nothing to clean where the solution cannot reach. I should post some pics of the DD KitchenAid washer I have in use now. I've been washing rags from work in it for the last month or so and already there is a line of schmeg on the inside of the basket just around the water line and I know there has to be worse around the parts we can't see. I'm going to move some of the machines around again (like changing handbags for spring & summer :-) so I'll pull the cabinet off of it and have a look. I already know what I'll find. I've had DD machines that while going over and cleaning them to ready for re-sale, have used a paint scraper to remove the scum from the top of the outer tub and tub rings.
Feh. I'll keep my vintage machines. | ||

Leave it to the manufacturer to blame it on the quality of the water. They'll never admit that the real problem is the fact that they designed the machine to rinse a full load of clothes on a small water level setting. This is the same machine that was posted on here recently. She needs to address Whirlpool with the fact that it is NOT her water since her previous washer rinsed with no problem. You can't have rinse water levels in a top loading machine, that is better designed for full water usage. If the rinse cycle is going to be that low, then they should at least have a 30 second spin spray between the wash and rinse cycles when the washer has reached full spin speed. Not a total solution to the problem, but I would think the results would be a bit better than they are. And with that spin spray and low level rinse, you would still be saving water compared to a high water level rinse, that is, if you are really concerned with water conservation.

Soon the manufacturers will say that the problem is the soil level... Hey m'am, we strongly believe you should prewash and presinse your clothes manually before loading the machine that's what the use and care manual says. I'm sorry, that's not our fault, that's YOUR fault. | ||

The front-loader version of this is observable when last rinse looks like first wash when using the prescribed amount of HE detergent. | ||

Whirlcool She's complaining because she has to repeat the cycle to get the clothes properly rinsed, it wastes more than rinsing in a decent water level. | ||

^ ^ ^ +1.
Politicians should NOT be designing washers. They probably don't even own one. They have their illegal-alien maid send laundry out to a service that does NOT "rinse" in a figurative teacup of water. With 1/1000th what politicians fritter watering their landscape, everybody in the country could fully rinse their laundry. | ||

When the Queen of England has her laundry done, it gets put through three full cleaning and rinsing cycles, before it is dried and pressed. If that is good enough for her, it is good enough for me to use a washing machine that uses plenty of water. | ||

N.B. In fact, I vaguely remember watching this documentary on the Queen and they stated that even new linen get laundered, dried and pressed three times before they are put on her bed. Now, that is how I want my laundry done. | ||

I suspect someone has their facts wrong or something was misread somewhere.
I would of thought the Queen has it Washed, Rinsed 3 times, and pressed. Considering the Royal Warrant was applied to Hoover washing machines that washed, rinsed 3 times and spun that were supposedly used in the Queens residences Id say that was nearer the fact. Its been said before and it will be said again, Until America's manufacturers gets their heads together and stops this toploader redesigning business which must waste a hell of a lot of money and energy and will never work. Where they should be is putting together better FL's that use Low Water, Extra Time, Faster Spins of 1400-1600rpm, 3 to 4 Low Rinses, and gets decent Euro standard detergents to use in them then the laundry situation wont ever work when it comes to water and energy conservation. | ||

Water Temperatures Would cooled-down water temps be causing the scum issue? We always use warm rinses with our DD and the inner and outer tub have remained spotless after all these years. | ||
