For those of you who own a modern frontloading machine, I was wondering what the cycle sequence is. On the normal cycle does it do a wash and one rinse, or a wash and 2 rinses? |

Might not call 1998 "modern" but my Electrofrigiwhite does standard or extended wash, spray prerinse/sudskill, and 3 or 4 (selectable) fill rinses. Fills are around 5gal, hot is faucet hot, spin is 800rpm. Also worth noting, it has never broken. Nothing 'digital' except the multispeed/reversing motor power module.
From what I read, doubt they make them like that anymore. |

Our 2006 Frigidaire has three rinses on the normal cycle (with an option for four) but no spray/suds kill immediately after the wash like our previous front loader had. There are spins between all rinses. This machine has excellent washing and rinsing action. The full cycle is 45 minutes.
There may be fewer rinses on newer machines, but I feel you need at least three on a front loader for large loads on normal cycle. The "Quick" cycle on ours has only two rinses, and the manual suggests half a dose of detergent. |

My 2012 BOL Frigidaire Affinity does a cold wash (on "Normal", all temps are cold), and two rinses unless "Fresh water rinse" is selected, then it does three rinses. It only spins after the wash cycle and then at the end of the rinses.

2010 Frigidaire:
Normal, Whitest Whites, Heavy Duty, Bulky, and Sanitize Cycles: Wash, spin, rinse, spin, rinse, final spin. If you choose "Freshwater Rinse" (their term for an extra rinse) the sequence is: Wash, spin, rinse, spin, rinse, spin, rinse, final spin. Casual (permanent press) Cycle: Wash, rinse, spin, rinse, final spin. Delicate: Slow tumble wash, rinse, rinse, final spin. Personally, I like a spin after the wash and each rinse, with the exception of the Casual cycle, which provides a cool-down via the first rinse before there's a spin to set wrinkles in dress shirts. |

Two rinses are pretty much the norm for regular cycles with extra rinses either being standard on specialtly cycles or available as an option.
My three-year old European Duet does two rinses on all cycles be default with up to two extra rinses as an option. Quick Wash only has one rinse by default. Each extra rinse adds twelve minutes on cycles that spin after the rinse or seven minutes for cycles that don't have a rinse spin.
I think Asko has the most rinses with its Super Rinse option: seven rinses - but it won't spin until the third or forth rinse (so I read).
