Sounds
normal on a day beginning with any letter!!! sometimes any machine defies loading measuring of detergent and what it may do....
The fagor produced the smoothest interim spin since using it last week, so much so I opened the integrated door to watch...THEN...when it had started to rinse out all that softened smooth water and started to rinse in that harsh water, making everything cold and rough, it started to spin like I`d thrown bricks in it... BTW how do you load sheets by the way??

Tom I know what you mean because my W1986 has done this once or twice too. It will usually be able to make the faster spin after the additional rinse. It nice to know these machines are trying whatever they can to give a decent rinse. | ||

Well It Would, Wouldnt' It?
On my "electronic"/manual controlled Miele if there is too much froth produced on the first spin (after the fourth rinse), then the machine will simply slow down to prevent damage, but still complete the spin. This means going into the following rinse not only with froth and perhaps water still in the drum but sump as well. This will cause all sorts of problems.
Not only are you now rinsing in water that isn't totally suds free, the pump still has to get rid of the froth in the sump and push it and the remaining from before out of the drain hose. This often leads to a very long lag as one hears the pump pushing but nothing is coming out of those. Worse the timer will start to spin regardless, however by program if there is too much water in the drum the timer will advance to the end of cycle without any spinning. Your Miele's method makes sense in that the machine now knows there is froth to be cleared and adds an extra rinse to deal with the matter. Moi? I just bung some defomer down the detergent chute to break up the froth. Easier on the machine IMHO and does the job without having to add yet another (sixth) rinse. | ||
