I got a new whirlpool duet a few days ago a I have noticed when I use small load or bulky cycles the water fills to a level that can be seen even so high that the clothes just roll and not flip! Wondering if this is normal or do I need to call whirlpool?? | ||

I don't think anyone has to worry about a Duet getting T Yes. different cycles use different water levels. My current favorite is Active wear, it seems to get a decent level of water, but I loose a number of options. | ||

 When we had our Duet pair, I remember discovering the Active Wear cycle and it's use of more water than the Normal cycle.
It makes perfect sense that the Bulky Items cycle would use a lot more water. With the inept Affinity washer I have now, it doesn't fill with nearly enough water to effectively clean a king size mattress pad. I have to add a good three more gallons of water by hand to get things sloshing.
The Duet is a far superior, more versatile and capable machine than the Affinity could ever wish to be in its wildest dreams.
The solution to your problem would be to use the Bulky Items to wash only the things it was designed for, and perhaps good sized loads of towels to get them completely immersed as they tumble. With too few items and too much water, the pieces will just bump around at the bottom and never receive the cleaning action that tumbling provides. | ||

Less is more.
People tends to use no more than 2 cycles than all the cycles on the dials. Modifying these new machines is somewhat a pain in the Azz to remember what does what unless you tailor made the cycles yourself! I own the Elux Wave Touch and water levels varies from load to load as well as cycles. Small loads will use more water since there's no weight to the load so the computer will compensate by using more water. So in fact that this small load is being washed as if they are hand washed instead of tumbling like a normal cycle in a Wascomat. All I can say, it is normal for your machine to act in this matter and I would not worry about it unless your load requires a vigorous agitation! | ||

unless you tailor made the cycles yourself! That's the great thing about our Neptune 7500. I can't believe ten years later, no one has replicated the simple, but advanced, interface of those Maytags! | ||
