Really interesting reading for sure! A couple of things that I was thinking about while reading this:
As for the dryer's thermostatic auto dry, I was thinking that when drying a single pair of jeans you would set the control closer to "more dry" whereas when drying 12 pairs you would set it to "less dry". Sounds kind of counterintuitive but I believe it's because the thermostat will be satisfied too quickly when drying a small load.
As for the extra rinse, what you've said makes it sound as though the extra rinse is added AFTER the fabric softener rinse. Am I interpreting that correctly? With all the front loaders I've ever seen, the softener is always added to the final rinse regardless of how many rinses are performed.
I appreciate that you have increased the water level. Does the washer use the same water level for both washing and rinsing? I have only used a Speed Queen FL once. It was in a hotel in Hawaii last year. The wash was extremely short (about 10 minutes) followed by two rinses. Wash and rinses were at low water level. Results were just about acceptable but nothing special. Of course your machine can no doubt wash for longer to give good results. |
