I saw a post on another site complaining about the water levels on the electronic models. I was wondering if owners of both series machines could post a picture of each water level in their respective machines.
It is my understanding that there are four distinct levels in the electronic models whereby the series 8 machine skips the one. So model 9 is 1/2/3/4 (lowest to highest) and model 8 is 1/X/3/4 (skipping one level) So the middle level on the series 8 machine isn't a split of the difference between the highest and lowest, but more towards level 3 of the 9 machine. Is this an accurate assumption? MRB |

From a production standpoint, it most likely is cheaper to just blank out one level instead of creating a whole new programming and control board version plus a seperate 3 level pressure switch (or 4, if they have an overflow protection level). You know, mass ordering. Or do these use these digital switches like the LG FLs do? |

That's a very good question. Back in the 90's when I had my electronic Amana set, there were 5 water levels on the panel. The lowest, middle, and upper were all pressure controlled. The lowest/middle and middle/upper were timed. The time was based upon how long it took the machine to fill from empty to the lowest level. Needless to say, the calculated targets weren't always very accurate.
I suspect the technology of today is far better with an electronic sensor and thought the middle level on the 8 was dead center between upper and lower. I guess that isn't the case. MRB |
