PartsCounterMan: I quickly realized that the HOT water selection gave me what I would call warm water and warm was barely that. I'll bet most people are confused by the selections of COOL, COLD and TAP COLD.Hot is the new Warm. Warm is the new Cold. Cool, Cold, and Tap Cold are redundant, useless, and unnecessary, LOL. |

Many machines today on the Normal/Eco setting have Hot dumbed down.
On my Maxima FL, I did a test with a marine thermometer. Normal wash on Hot, was temp controlled to about 82 degrees. Warm really. However, if I want really hot washes, I am lucky to have a Sanitize cycle that uses true hot, and also heats to aprox. 130F. Interestingly, Delicate also uses mostly full Hot. All other cycles really, will use tap hot. But Normal, the DOE cycle, controls them down. |

You could look at an HE TL washer from Maytag with the HE wash plate, also with a spiral agitator pole.
See my link - I picked this machine out for my parents a few months ago, and mum's been the word on it. They seem to like it so much, they don't even talk about it. And that's a very nice thing for my retiree parents :) They put their laundry in, and it comes out clean. I like this model particularly because it's a bit more traditional. It does HE washing, yet the agitator pole gives larger loads a bit extra scrubbing action. In addition to allowing you a Deep tub fill option for extra large, grimy loads, or odd items like comforters or sleeping bags. It's full of great features for the price when it goes on sale. Parents' got theirs for $600 on Black Friday. CLICK HERE TO GO TO johnb300m's LINK |

for a few machines, I was able to remove the restrictor on the HOT side....just to allow more of a hotter mix...
but also factor in, my water heater is set high....150 to 180....so I do get a hot wash....the most it dubs down is 10 degrees purging the line is always a benefactor... as for a Cabrio, I found the directdrive XL a better performing machine than the smaller capacity belt drive.....the newer ones are a combination of the two....a lot of kinks have been worked out......and have found out, if you let the machine go on its own, it works and cleans as it should... |
