Outside of this forum, we haven't run across much anecdotal evidence of sub-standard tub seals on the SQ top loaders. Please, advise. Thanks! |

Believe we're thinking along the same lines. |

My hunch is that John's point is that the detergents lend a degree of lubricity and help prevent mineral deposits in the seal running track, both of which help extend the life of the seal. Excessive rinsing may reduce seal life. It wouldn't be an immediate type failure, just something that as a trend could be seen to shorten life span.
I would imagine that if the water was truly soft, that at least reduces the mineral buildup issue to a degree. The front load seals seem like they live by slightly different rules to me since they are protecting from incidental splash, they aren't immersed holding back a tub of water. |

This is exactly the kind of insight we were looking for. |
