I think why your machine is doing the reduced pressure for the TurboWash jets during rinse is the fact that those jets can kick up some sudsing. I notice it with my LG 3570 washer with some loads like towels and jeans. I believe that your machine is running normally in this instance. With my machine the TurboWash option is defaulted to on Cotton/Normal, optional on other cycles. I use TurboWash with every cycle and load since I love the spray rinsing during the spins between deep rinsing and during the final spin. I am amazed at how well the washer rinses the clothes. I do use a softener in the final rinse to kill any suds that might survive.

Was just thinking, but pretty certain that LG uses a simple single speed recirculation pump. Only variable speed recirculation pump I know of is in Mieles current PowerWash 2.0 models. |

I think for the most part yes. I've only used Normal for the most part and bulky/large for comforters and turbowash appears to work fine on that. |

I would think that the water to load size ratio should be the same. Say you have a small load vs large load - obviously, it's not going to use the same amount of water, but the ratio should be the same - and thus, the jets should operate the same - this is my thinking at least. I don't know. I'm probably wrong though, LOL. In that video I posted, it doesn't look like a particularly large load to me either... I will say that I have seen some LG turbo wash videos where the jets do exactly what you're describing during the wash, but not the rinse. Almost like the wash water level isn't deep enough for it to recirculate through the full tumble before it shuts off...

this looks like a larger load, on the normal cycle with turbo wash, but with cold wash option....and the jets don't spray the full tumbles. The die down before the full tumble is over. It's like WHY? It's the same cycle? If anything, cold wash I would think would use MORE water, causing the jets the be stronger than just regular normal. I dunno.

My Kenmore Elite front loader does the same thing. I use the accelawash all the time. This is normal. |

Mark, only Normal and Sanitary "use" the extra hot temp option. I venture to guess the ex. hot temp on Normal isn't as hot. the Bright Whites. Heavy Duty cycles also engages the heater with its hot water temp and max soil level. These cycles also offer steam option which might increase the hot water temp. There's also their Allergiene cycle which I venture is a very hot temp wash, but not as high as Sanitary. But engaging the steam option on these cycles will help assure the heater being used for sure.
One of the many reasons why I prefer Whirlpool and Maytag because of the additional flexibility with hotter tempeartures across just about all cycles combining with Extra Hot and steam. |

Before self-cleaning filters, that was common for machines with recirculating filter systems--saw it on Kenmore, Whirlpool, GE, and the Filter Stream spraying for both thee LK & WP combos.
As for your comment that you appear to lose water temperature and soil level options when steam is added, my Whirlpool duet doesn't suffer from those "problems" when I add steam. If I need steam, I can still select wash water temps for warm, hot, and sanitize/Extra Hot as well as light, normal, and heavy soils. The different soil levels also allow different time lengths for steaming happening. I can even choose steam for "wrinkle free" cycles too as well as Extra Hot/Sanitize for towels too. I love the full and complete option flexibility for all cycles and that's a main reason I've always felt WP products are far superior to LG and others because of that intense flexibility. And that is still the case for the most recent product introductions. |

I had an LG and as it was cold fill only every cycle heated but it also had the steam option which I rarely used. Now I had an issue with it never taking in enough water for the wash cycle and the jets would dribble I attempted to increase the amount of water by adjusting the pressure switch but it would not have it, It did how ever work superbly on other settings and it would allow you to change the cycle so fill on wool or duvet then set to normal cotton 60c and leave it to it, Also the water inlet would cycle on and off really quickly and we had a pipe that clanged every time it stopped so needless to say it was sold on rather swiftly I went back to Miele..

Well, I've got garments that need the variety. I got disgusted with most mattress pads that have so much synthetic material in them that a hot was would kill the material used to hold it on the mattress. I specifically found one at WalMart that stated it could be washed in hot water up to 120 degrees. Using Normal/Casual, hot, and steam, I can get a 120 degree wash. Washing white dress shirts that are a variety of 100% cotton wrinkle free as well as some that are poly/cotton, I can still wash them in hot with the same cycle options and I get rid of any potential "ring around the collar". |

Thought of another instance whreby temperature & steam flexibility were paramount. A friend of mine was visiting and somehow managed to get kerosene, or something similar on a sweatshirt, jeans, and a blanket. I prewashed the garments in warm. then washed on heavy soil the load in warm on a cycle where the heater wouldn't come on. And the scent was dissipating. I washed again, heavy soil, normal/casual, and warm water with deep clean steam option & 2nd rinse. Scent was just about gone, but ran through another duplicate cycle just to make sure. He's very picky about colors remaining in clothes and wanted the scent gone. Scent was gone and lightly dried and hung up to dry. He was very pleased. He thought he was gonna have to throw away those relatively new jeans and sweatshirt. And no excessive "hot" water either for this lad. Usually, yes, I usually need steam when it's a sanitize wash temp or a hot wash cycle and heavy soil. |
