Is basically a cold wash with a spin spray rinse only, the directions tell you not to use fabric softener when using this cycle.
We are selling a lot of the new AWN432s and I am going to bet that this cycle will be used a lot more than many think. When you consider that about 1/2 of users today only use a cold wash anyway and in my testing the spray rinse seems to do an decent job, I really don't think that most people will notice the difference. After all if one was looking for top cleaning and rinsing performance these washers are not exactly the best choice.
One possible benefit of the spin rinsing if this cycle is used a lot is that the main water seal will probably last a lot longer because the beneficial detergent will not get rinsed away from the tub seal in the center of the outer tub. Over the past few years we have been seeing bad main tub seals during the 3 year warranty period on machines that have the 2nd rinse feature when it is used a lot. |

Is it three 50 second sprays on the N-ECO machine?
Looks like a lot of the spray hits the base of the agitator. The spinning agitator would disperse water up on to the clothes, right? (420/60) = 7 rps * 4 fins = 28 28 slaps per sec * 50 secs per spray * 3 sprays = 4200 slaps to get the detergent out. How many more slaps do you need? MRB |
