Water left inside in a front loader outter tub is normal, but so is for a top loader.
Usually, the water that remains stays within the drain cup, it also happen with top loaders anyway..but some having a still outter tub like a filter-flo for example, can't be moved not being a suspended system so sound isn't made... Others while having a suspended system, though have a different draining system than a cup and separate electric pump, so the sloshing isn't noticeable as well.... Many models of front loaders I have seen also, have a floating plastic ball in the drain cup/sump that prevents water to come back from the hose, but some models doesn't... The quantity of water that stays-in may depends on many reasons, such as a long drain hose and or drain located very high of the machine...as the hose is longer or higher more water will come back to the lower point once machine has finished... The sloshing sound is typical of every relatively new front loader washing machine I've seen in my life, except for the commercial gravity drain ones.... but it's mostly due to water bouncing in the drain cup rather than in the outter tub itself... As long as machine drains normally the wash and rinse water...there's no reason to worry of anything.. This post was last edited 12/31/2014 at 11:14 |

Well, but then it's not just typical sloshing sound, but it really sounds as if there was water in it... I thought of when you mov/shake the whole tub thing like up and down! But not this! |

Water-filled balance rings are peculiar? Whirlpool has had them on the direct-drive toploaders for years, although they're a separate snap-on piece instead of 100% integral to the basket. F&P SmartDrive & AquaSmart, and Oasis/Cabrio/Bravos. F&P specs the weight of the basket per including the balance fluid, a basket out-of-spec for weight is to be replaced (if the fluid leaks out, or someone drills the ring to drain it for not knowing it's required for proper operation). I suspect the new belt-drive VMW design has has a fluid-filled balance ring. |

Ralph, I personally don't think that comment was very nice. There are people who come here because the forum has shown up when searching with certain parameters. We are a resource here in addition our own obsession, fascination, appreciation of vintage appliances and for some of us modern appliances too. And it's recognized in other appliance forums to check with aw.org. It's a compliment really, we do know our stuff here. Yes, people will come and go when seeking resolution or answers to a specific "problem", "issue" or "concern". I'm personally known for a lot of this related information and am sought out for advice. |
