Electrolux - 4.5 Cu.Ft. Stackable Front Load Washer with Steam and LuxCare Wash System - White

Hi there, thank you for reaching out to us regarding your inquiry. Yes, what you're seeing is actually totally normal for many front-load washers. ✅ Wash Cycle – Water at the Back of the Drum. During the main wash cycle, water usually enters from the back or top rear of the drum. This is where detergent gets mixed in and the washer begins agitating the clothes. ✅ Rinse Cycle – Water from the Front Cascade (above the door) During the rinse cycle, water often flows through a “cascade” or waterfall inlet at the front/top of the drum, just above the door. This design helps rinse detergent residue off the door and clothes and improves overall rinse performance. This dual-water-entry design helps distribute water more effectively during different phases of the cycle. Electrolux uses it to improve wash and rinse performance while being efficient with water and energy. - Jessica

Thank you for reaching out to us. This model, like most front-loading washers, uses a tumbling action and a specific water distribution system to effectively clean clothes. Overall, while the washer does not pour water over clothing in the traditional sense of pouring from above, it effectively uses a combination of tumbling, water distribution through jets or sprays, and proper detergent dispersion to clean clothes thoroughly. This method is efficient in reducing water usage compared to top-load washers, as front-load washers generally use less water per cycle. We hope this information helps. - Maria
