A:Answer For this machine, yes, that's why it sucks. When I purchased 12/20/2024 clothes came out the wash dirty. I washed them again on auto cycle and saw it ran a full wash with some clothes not ever being touched by soap or water. Couldn't get money back because I used machine. Only way to get clean clothes with this mashing is to not use auto and always set at a higher water level than you think. For heavily soiled clothes, use max water and extra rinse to get results. This is a very inefficient machine. It takes 2 hours to not do as well as what my old Maytag did in 30 minutes.
