I've been reading Samsung washer manuals and chuckled out loud at their explanation of automatic temperature-controlled wash temps. You can almost see the bulb light up over someone's head in Technical Writing, can't you?
At least they provide the work-around: Use cycles other than Normal or Heavy Duty to get actual hot water. This post was last edited 08/05/2015 at 20:33 |

I posted about this several months ago. I love how the manual says that new washers must reduce the energy usage at first priority. I always though washing clothes was a washer's first priority. Hm. I read that LG has the same thing happening on Normal and Heavy Duty for the same (Energy Star) reasons.

Actually, I'd say they don't provide THE work-around. They provide A work-around. Another work-around occurs to me: use a vintage machine that does not have dumbed down water temperatures on any cycle. LOL |

whats funny is their not "transitioning" people into these new H-2-Low water levels and dubbed down temps....theres no stepped phasing, just a JOLT into the new way of washing.....
for a while with a car, you has a cassette player, then the addition of the Cassette/CD in one unit, allowing people to switch gradually as cars changed into CD's only!..... these first generation of HE machines should be offering both a HE and Normal operation, like what Speed Queen has done, theres a traditional Normal cycle, and with a flip of a switch theres a Normal ECO cycle..... their making machines efficient, but not effective.....I mean hell, we can't even get the whole world on a non phosphate detergent system, so were only polluting half of the world, as if the water doesn't mix.... although I think were going to maybe see a Hybrid machines eventually show up... remember the energy crisis of the 70's, car manufacturers quickly jumped on 4 cylinders, great mileage, no power.....not a great turnover for a company, and this may very well turn true for washing machines, efficient, but not effective, somehow their going to have to figure a way to Turbocharge these machines.... cant count how many machines I have sold lately to people wanting to return to a traditional water using machine....used appliance places are becoming very popular lately.... |
