If I remember correctly, this was part of the "upped" EPA guidelines. A non-visible 2nd water level switch is behind the control panel from what I remember. It can be set for he "std. low" or changed to a high rinse water level and it will fill for that high water level for rinse regardless of water level for wash. |

They did the same thing to the last model DD's that GE did to their lower end models before the HydroWave platform came out. At least with the Whirlpool designed machines, you can adjust the hidden water level switch, and there is enough agitation time that you can get a decent deep rinse with every cycle. The GE my mom has is a lower-end model, still with the dual-action agitator, but no fab. softener dispenser, and no Deep Rinse option at all. Every cycle defaults to the same sequence; drain after the wash, but no spin at all, then it fills with about 2-3 inches of water, thrashes the agitator for maybe 10 seconds, then sits for a period of time before draining that water and going into final spin. She has to turn the dial back and run a second cycle just to get rinsed laundry. I checked the parts diagram for that machine in particular but there is no second pressure switch. I think the fill for the so-called "rinse" is timed, so no hope there. You can imagine the dirt ring around the top of the tub and agitator because of the dirty water and detergent that never get rinsed away.
