This is probably one of the worst washers Electrolux ever made. The agitator is my design (made for a washer that had a real transmission) but it ended up used wrong in this washer. The agitator actually spins like an impeller in this washer. At least it was 100% electrolux-made. For some time after this model Electrolux rebadged a Haier washer as Frigidaire. Not sure if they still have it or not. Now the Laundry centers are 100% Electrolux again. | ||

Video I just made a video demonstrating the wash action of this washer. The lid sensor is located under the left door hinge; I taped it in to bypass it. I also stuck a pair of scissors through the lid lock, and that's how I was able to make the washer run with the lid open. | ||

Yogitunes My water heater, which is a Rinnai RL75 tankless unit, is set at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. It's been at that setting ever since my family moved in. | ||

first of all, your in a Northern state, your incoming cold water is really cold....
now starting with 120 degree hot water, which is a really warm bath temp....not exactly hot water to start with....the slightest dub down has turned all hot selections to warm at best... one advantage you have with the tankless, you can boost the temp while your washing clothes and then dial back down....140 to 160 would be best, and purge the lines if possible... theres concern for a water heater setting at 120 for the bacteria that can grow... on some machines we have taken out the restrictors, especially on the HOT side....and even turning down the cold water valve at the wall to help regulate the amount of cold water entering...other machines have programming we can't get around.. | ||

 160°F .... household stand-alone tankless water heaters (not tankless integrated into a boiler) are typically limited to maximum setting of 140°F. Mine was factory-limited to 125°F with a menu option to change the limit (to max of 140°F). Raising it to 140°F is unlikely to have much effect on this type of washer that dumbs down temperatures ... it will just mix in more cold water to maintain the programmed temperatures ... unless the user finds that a cycle other than Normal (perhaps Heavy Duty or Bedding) provides less restriction. Tankless is 100% flushed whenever water flows so is less likely to have the bacteria problem, and the heat exchanger surface gets considerably hotter than the output water temp. Mine is normally set at 102°F to 104°F for showering, although I raise it to various higher temps for clothes washing and *occasionally* for hand dishwashing, and *once in a while* so the first dishwasher fill is warmer for a particularly greasy load. I've not had any apparent trouble with bacteria accumulation in 15 years, on untreated well water. | ||
