I found this very bulky load of a SQ FL washer.
What is going on with all the interim spins? I'm seeing what looks like a sudslock with each one (even the last one) CLICK HERE TO GO TO mark_wpduet's LINK |

Ahh makes sense...I was so confused becuase it did not look visually like there was too much soap...but I kept thinking.. wow... this just keeps happening with each one...
Do you feel like when it fills for rinse...stops filling and then starts tumbling is too short before it drains the rinse water? I feel like once the water stops filling for rinse and then it tumbles... it's like less than a minute before it drains...isn't that too short? |

Mark, a couple of things. What you observed with the load with the initial spin after the wwash abnd even after the 1st rinse, it looks like a suds lock, but it wasn't Just dealing with high volume of water from those sheets and the water being sudsy. But as each rinse progressed, it was less of a problem. But still a lot of water due to those sheets. This is basically a commercial machine designed the process loads through quiickly. Each rinse is about a minute or two after the fill is satisfied and drains. Very normal in a commerical envornment.
Just my opion, but I beielve the guy put too much detergent in the main wash, hence the difficulty with suds. But I don't know how much he put in for the prwash. |

I was impressed with the stability of the machine on the spin cycles along with the speed which it achieved. Great suspension design. Jon |

Been using an FF7 since August last year. My take is that what you're seeing is redistribution of the goods. That's really it, not suds lock. Depending on the overall size of the load and composition, the spin cycle sometimes revs up and down, or goes right up to speed. The machine has load sensors that detect balance. If the machine detects something out of balance, it will spin down and tumble to redistribute, and then try again, and again, until things are distributed enough to spin at high speed. This is what I've observed.
