Interesting! Here's a wash shot, with the tricked water level. |

Slow-speed spin. I used the Permanent Press cycle for this load. |

You know it's winter when you can do this...:) Steam-dried towels are simply amazing. |

I'll have to try that "dump truck" full load in my Kn DA machine.Looks like enough clothes in there to fill a dump truck!-And circulates them! |

Good load there Austin, glad you got the rollover...the GE combo looks such a beast, is it noisy when drying?? The Europhiles at this point are busy "Concentrating On Their Breathing" ....I (will own this one) wouldnt have the nerve to wash those beautiful light t-shirts and such with jeans....LOL Enjoy , Mike |

Holy cow, Austin! That's a huge load! Love the pretty colors in frame 171509. I'm not surprised you had rollover when you increased the water level. Those KM's are workhorses. I'm going to make a video of 2 loads today and I'll put them up on YouTube. The first load is thirty-some bar mops (blue-striped white towels of approximately 14" x 19"). The second load will be denim. I have only three pairs of jeans (much larger than yours, though), but I also have several heavy denim chef's aprons (the kind that cover your whole front), so I'll toss in those and maybe my heavyweight sweat pants. I'm betting I won't get rollover, but I want to find out. Off to work! |

Of course you did raise the water level higher than the normal limit, but as Robert said, there are pools of water visible, room for circulation, parts of the auger are visible in both agiation shots, and the clothes clearly aren't >>crammed<< in. Austin, I think your machines can handle a bit larger load than what I've seen you typically run. :-) |

My mother would have slapped you silly if you tried this in her RCA Whirlpool. |

I've been really busy with work and being on dialup I kinda stay away from pics. |

Austin, Why do you use the Permanent Press cycle for jeans? I know the BD Kenmores spin at about 525rpms on the Regular cycle which is slow going by today's standards. Just curious. |

...and I am no teenager. LOL In my experience if you use a detergent made for colors you don't get the bleeding. I use the Perma-Press cycle that uses warm water and have had no problems with bleeding or fading. I'll even put a scoop of Oxi-Clean in they are especially dirty and don't have the bleeding or fading. |

Yes, I live in a remote part of town with no DSL or cable. The only high-speed I can get is at work and they don't know about my washer thang yet so, I gotta keep it on the down low. Austin, great machine! |
