I wonder if Stain Treat works with Sheets/Towels. Might have to try that tonight. |

Jonathan, that's exactly how F&P toploaders work. As I'm sure you know, there's no transmission. The basket & agitator/wash plate are driven directly by the motor shaft. There's an air dome molded into the bottom of the wash basket. It captures an air bubble during fill as the water rises which causes the basket to float and disengage from the drive coupler so the agitator (wash plate) can move separately. F&P pulses the motor repeatedly during fill to check for when the basket has disengaged (less resistance and rotational inertia at that point). I assume Oasis/Cabrio does the same. This is the first step in automatic water level sensing. Larger load, heavier fabric takes more filling to get the basket floated/disengaged. At the end of the drain period (when the water level is sensed to have dropped), the motor will pulse forward and back a few times to ensure the slip-clutch is re-engaged so the basket can spin. There may be a THUMP when it drops into place. If the basket doesn't settle, the machine will signal a fault. |

Just realized you can't do Stain Treat in the sheets/towels cycle (which is my cycle of choice). |
