Product review (1 stars): CANNOT ADJUST WATER LEVEL - Insufficient Water
I had a Frigidaire front loader for 9 years that I loved.  I replaced
it with this model.  After the fact, I found out that the water level
could not be adjusted and it appeared that there was just enough water
to wet the clothes---someone told us that the new washers went from
40 gallons of water to 15 but I have not verified those figures.  I
would always use the extra rinse and leave the door open after use
to prevent mold issues.  Well after 18 months I noticed a mold smell.
There was NEVER a problem in the previous washer.  I googled this
and found that it was a common problems in the new "energy saving"
(non-adjustable water level) front loaders.  I talked with Frigidaire
and I will give them credit, they did replace the rubber gasket in the
door with a new one that has a mold inhibitor--at no charge even though
out of warranty.  I will continue to buy Frigidaire but I will never
buy another front loader as long as there is not a water adjustment level.
I was told by an appliance salesman that in order to prevent mold issues
in these new energy (low water level) saving washers one must do the
following:
1.  Only use warm water
2.  Only use 2 tablespoons of soap if normal water
  and just one tablespoon of soap if soft water
3.  Always use extra rinse
4.  Never use fabric softener
5.  Leave the door and the soap tray open after use.

I now run the machine once with soap then run it again without any
soap to get the clothes clean and rinsed well.  I will use it until
it breaks and then forget about buying another front loader.

I was told that the new TOP loaders have water levels that are
also NOT adjustable but that Speed Queen (made in USA) still makes one
that a person can adjust the level.
