Foreign?

From your perspective: It speaks with an American accent and gives temperatures in Fahrenheit.

From my point of view: NZ isn't "foreign", it's just across the ditch.smile

Intuitive.

I personally like both Aquasmart and Intuitive but I like the Aquasmart a little better. Agitator version sometimes doesn't turn over. Aquasmart turnover is slow sometimes but it's through. I think the Agitation profile selected is too gentle for the sheets. It should have picked the Medium wash profile. Aquasmart Sheets Cycle is a weird cycle. It switches from Regular to Delicate agitation then to Regular again. Sometimes the Sheets don't rollover and I switch the cycle to Regular. They mainly don't rollover very well during the rinse and I often find myself assisting the machine. The Aquasmart does incredibly well with Towels, Pillows, Comforters, Blankets, Sleeping bags and Stuffed toys. The Soft Toys Lifecycle is great for what it is intended for but I wish it had a Fast spin. I simply hit the spin only option after the cycle is complete and select fast spin. 7 minutes of 1,014 RPM is enough. I put them in the dryer on Air Dry. Aerosmart Soft Toys Lifecycle for some reason on my panel does low heat but modern stuffed toys can't have any heat. Any heat from a dryer will DESTROY fake fur! Washer panel model WL37T26CW2. Dryer Panel model DE27CW1/DG27CW1

Hard to believe these are quickly creeping up on 20 years old. Heck, a good chunk of 6500 and 7500 Neptunes are old enough to drink at a bar, in the US :)

Thanks for posting this video, Glenn!

Gizmo/Chris, the ATC target temperature is referenced as 46°C on the diagnostic display, which is 114.8°F so I state it as 115°F.

IWL12 directly moderates the hot & cold mix to attain/sustain the target temperature.  The water spraying from the nozzle is 46°C if I set my tankless water heater at 46°C.  It remains at 46°C if I set the heater at 60°C.  The machine will tweet a fault and advise on the display "Help I'm not getting any hot water" after a few mins if the temperature is too far below the target, although that is not a fatal fault and it continues filling.

1) Serial ... B = 2004, R = June, N = NZ manufacturing plant.

2) One of my AquaSmarts ... L = 2007, Y = Sept, U = US manufacturing plant (Clyde OH)

May be besides the point

But F&P are still a brand I adore.
They appear to be the test bed for Haiers more advanced technologies by now which still makes the unique even after the purchase.

I'd love for them to come to Germany with their machines.
They always were just a second ahead of the rest.

DADoES

So if I selected a temp of 85°F (if it is an option), does it alter the amount of hot water entering so the water being sprayed on the load it as close as 85°F before it hits the clothes? Like a variable flow valve? Just clarifying. I have never heard of that.

LakeWebsterKid,

Yes, it should.

Service documentation references for Phase 6 GWL11, IWL12, IWL15, and Phase 7 (IWL16):
  Cold = tap cold
  Cold+ = 20°C/68°F
  Warm/Cold = 35°C/95°F
  Warm = 40°C/104°F
  Warm/Hot = 50°C/122°F
  Hot = 60°C/140°F

However, diagnostics on my IWL12 says ATC targets are:
Cold+ = 18°C (61°F)
Warm/Cold = 34°C (93°F)
Warm = 46°C (115°F)
Warm/Hot = 51°C (124°F)
Hot = 69°C (156°F)

The disparity presumably is due to differences in board firmware versions?

There is a -6°C to +6°C temperature adjustment in 2°C steps on Intuitive models.  The five temp choices are modifed together by the adjustment, not separately.
