 Pierre, what kind of stains are you concerned about. I do not think the current Duets or Maximas are any different than my 2011 Duet. The Maxima has Allergen cycle and PowerWash cycle. The former is good for dealing with dust mites, pet dander, and such. I like using that cycle for towels and whites as well as my sheets. Thee St3eam for Stains option is available any time you select warm, hot, or extra hot wash temperatures (and tis is applicable also for Duets). Steam for Stains is an option for Whites, Normal, Bulky Items, Towels, Sanitary, Power Wash, and Wrinkle Control on the Maxima. Steam for Stains is available as an option on the Duet for Whites, Sanitary, Bulky Items, as well as Heavy Duty. These are both extremely flexible machines with various cycles and steam for stains option and flexibility of water temps across all cycles, except for the cold water cycle.
Always use the auto dry cycles. Each of those cycles uses a specific drying temperature. You don't necessarily chose the cycle for what the cycle label says, but what drying temperature you want. At normal dryness level, if you find loads come out slightly damp, you are able to make some adjustments in sensitivity of dryness level based uponhj instructions in the user manual.
Frigilux loved his Maxima pair. Once he got his set, he could understand why I love my Duet so much. And I constantly end up with very difficult stains that the washer fully removes with the appropriate cycles, temperatures, options, and detergents. | ||

Mark, this is in your dryer's manual
Changing the Preset Dryness Level Settings
If all your loads on all Auto Dry cycles are consistently not as dry as you would like, you may change the preset Dryness Level settings to increase the dryness. This change will affect all of your Auto Dry cycles.
Your Dryness Level settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions or personal preference. There are 3 drying settings: 1 (factory preset dryness level), 2 (slightly drier clothes, approximately 15% more drying time), and 3 (much drier clothes, approximately 30% more drying time).
1.The Dryness Level settings cannot be changed while the dryer is running. 2.Press and hold the Dryness Level button for 5 seconds. The dryer will beep, and "CF" will be displayed for 1 second followed by the current drying setting. 3.To select a new drying setting, press the Dryness Level key again until the desired drying setting is shown. NOTE: While cycling through the settings, the current setting will not flash, but the other settings will flash. 4.Press START to save the drying setting.
5.The drying setting you selected will become your new preset drying setting for all Auto Dry cycles.

Pierre, I'm not sure in Canada, but in the U.S., most retailers not specify you have to purchase new water inlet hoses when you buy a new washer. And if these hoses are the original hoses from when you bought the Duets, it's time. Otherwise, you might have a hose burst.
Mark, I'm sorry that didn't work out. I found your posts that had your washer model number and put in the dryer model number for the companion/matching dryer and that's where I got what I posted above for you. | ||
