Thanks for the review. Interesting that the machine doesn't spin each time ot drains. That is normal for delicate cycles, but Normal, Heavy Duty, Whites etc. should spin every time the water is drained.
Good to hear that is doesn't dumb down the temps too much. However, I highly doubt a 4.3 cu.ft. machine with a 900 watts heater will do a true cold-to-hot profile wash by extending the cycle by only ten minutes. | ||

Well, am guessing it fills with cool rather than pure cold; amount of wash water is so low I can actually see it happening. Heavy Duty spins after main wash and before last rinse. Normal just before last rinse. Casual just after main wash. | ||

WashingPowder, my new Tags do that hot water injection, especially on "cool". The Kendaire at other house does not, it mixes and adds. I too wondered about fabric damage from the hot shower. | ||

Welcome to the Lux family! Only a handful of us has these machines and when you really get to know the unit, they are really amazing! When using Hand Wash, Delicate, Color and Casual cycle, do not be alarmed that is does not spin after the wash cycle! The purpose is to preserve the color of the garment by not squeezing the soap through the fabric taking the color with it! (Fading). If you want to reduce your carbon print, eco cold would be good for 90% of your laundry. Fresh Rinse is just an Extra Rinse (Frigidaire playing with names). Steam in my mind is a gimmick and not needed if good detergents being used! Stain Clean is just adding timed Soak portion in the cycle while washing. A true Profile Wash is not achieved unless the water temperature starts luke warm and gradually to hot which our machine cannot do unless you know how to manipulate the electronic motherboard. (Most European machines can do this)! I don't know if Frigidaire fix a minor software flaw, when using the prewash cycle, it may dump the main wash detergent because of the alternating slow fill during the prewash with a large load! It's not done on purpose but the slow fill with prewash detergent is like the Kelvinator's Magic Minuet so be aware and wait 5 minuets before adding detergent to the main wash compartment! Once a month just wipe the folds of the gasket to remove any lint build up around the 5-8 O'clock position of the gasket and leave the door open after laundry is done to prevent molding of the gasket and inner tub! Don't go crazy to wipe the gasket after every load, it is not needed! Also take the detergent draw out monthly or every other month to clean detergent/fabric softener buildup and wash clean the outer bezel area before reinstalling detergent draw. Tub clean does not have to be done every time when it call's for it if you're doing a lot of hot washes or Bleached loads. But if all your laundry is washed in (COLD WATER), run the cycle with bleach or any tub cleaners when it calls for it! Good luck with your new machine and happy washing! | ||

Thanks for correcting me, I did re-read a portion of your manual and you are right! To what temperature the cold water will be raised in 10 minuets is a mystery to me with NYC current winter water temperatures..... Please give us the goods on what the water temp is at the start to 10 minuet water temp change please! We all want to know the temperature swing!!! :-)) My Lux is an older model, 8 months before the Steam Washer came to market bummer, LOL! In my manual, stain clean is just a soak period during the wash cycle! The link below has my manual posted. CLICK HERE TO GO TO cleanteamofny's LINK | ||

electrolux ly I coul be wrong here, but I believe White-Westinghouse and Frigidaire are part of the Electrolux family. That must be why we see Frigiaire/Electrolux built machines more now, please correct me. | ||

@Washingpowder, I'm not sure if they change the design of the baffles. Doing small loads will cause garments to float during the wash and rinse cycles so to make the washing action effective, wait until you have a medium size load. The cycle that I really notice the highest rinse water levels is the Active Wear cycle, otherwise the water level varies from load to load!

Oh my.. that baffle is ridiculously small.
Haha, the rinse "level" looks familiar to me. During the last rinse of my Mixed Items cycle, the water level is that low as well. Other rinses use more water, fortunately. Am currently running a load of towels and this is what I got... after waiting about 8 seconds for the door to unlock and the camera to focus.
