There are new pictures of FL washers in the Whirlpool Digital Library. Based on the pictures, which could be computer generated, it looks like they are extending the (What to wash/How to wash) interface to the FL machines.
There is a model with a touch screen built into the door. Hopefully it has more options, as the ones with the traditional button display seem to lack some current features, like delay wash and eco boost. There is also no obvious way to adjust the "Load & Go" water hardness and detergent concentration settings. Most curious, there seems to be a full-length drawer/door at the bottom of the machine. Could this be for bulk supplies, or to access the drain pump? I can't seem to load high resolution versions of the pictures, but if you are interested, I can email them to you or they can be downloaded from the Whirlpool Digital Library. Joe |

Sounds like a sign of something new coming, Bob. I couldn't find the new models on the Energy Star website.
One model has a "how to wash" option of "Sanitize with OXY," yet it also had a steam button. Normally machines with that option do not have a built in heater. I have seen some Photoshop work on their photos in the past, with some options and labeling not matching the actual machines. |

Well let me tell you, I like the variety. And as I've said countless times, I do not pay attention to what the label of cycles is. What matters to me is how a cycle executes. And each one of those cycles no doubt offers different nuances. A reason why I want downloadable cycles. And Whirlpool is beginning to deliver with their current TOL dishwasher. In one of the recent KitchenAid dishwasher releases, the user manual mentioned connectivity and downloading cycles. (no current models in KA line offer that). To be honest, I've not liked the current WP FL family offerings because they removed several basic cycles that my model/series offered. Cycles that all the foreign-based companies still offered. I don't use my Jeans cycle for just jeans. It's essentially a delicate cycle with interim spins (which Delicate and Hand Wash don't allow) plus a cool down. I use it for my "golf" shirts. I use Bulky Items for some of my casual wear for work--a medium tumble and an initial "soak" period for 4 to 6 minutes. Their dishwasher downloadable cycles include an Anti-Bacterial (has the exact same sequence as the KUDS25 cycle with the same name). There have been a few times recently I sure could have used--featuring the prolonged prewash due to cycle being held while water heats to 135 as well as extra high temp main wash. And that extra hot temps strip away stubborn food soil. |
