I'm currently using a BOL WP DD washer made about 10 years ago. Unlike other washers I've used, it does not do spray rinses during the first spin (after wash/before rinse spin) on the Normal Cycle. (Although why I'd ever use "Normal" is puzzling, given that I'm nothing but a normal person. LOL)
I'm assuming this lack of spray rinses is by design, although I suppose it's entirely possible that something is broken...
So I've wondered off and on: how important are those first spin spray rinses when it comes to rinsing laundry? I can make all sorts of arguments in my mind. Part of me thinks spray rinses might help with the rinsing process. Another part of me thinks that if they mattered, WP would have included them. Then, again, they might have been omitted for some reason (cost savings or perhaps to meet some water usage goal).
Does anyone have any opinions about whether first spin spray rinses are important?

they do a short slow spin one after the static wash drain to help the detergent spin out. The entire rinse fill is a slow spin, unless it's a non wash plate model which deep rinses every rinse. If you don't use too much detergent, they rinse well. |

My 1986 DD Lady Shredmore also didn't have a spray rinse between wash and rinse on normal or delicate (which I thought was stupid). It only did on the Perm Press cycle and that was AFTER the cool down. I think it impacted rinsing and pretty much always used extra rinse on Normal cycle. Later versions of DD Kenmore models featured ultra rinse and that did do spray rinses (2) on the spin between wash & rinse. Friend of mine from college, his family had a very late 1980s early 1990s series 70 washer & dryer that did this. Firs5t time I heard the washer do these spray rinses, I thought I'd missed part of the cycle. Fortunately had to run another load and it did it. I really felt cheated then. But due to water usage concerns, later versions eliminated this again. My partner's 11 y/o Admiral DD also doesn't do spray rinses between wash and rinse. |
