Monica, thanks for your post. Rinsing with barely any water has always been a puzzle to husband and me. I imagine I will get over the extra capacity, especially since I cannot put the two blankets together, leaving only the ability to combine two linen loads into one as a missed opportunity. I think the 3.8 of the 6300 vs my old 3.3 TL will probably be big enough to combine the linens into one load though. Something is strange here. From what I have read, and what I remember when looking at it on the store floor, the new 6200s do not have a delay any more. Maybe they have changed it since you bought yours? How long ago did you get yours? Sept 2008? Look on page 12 of the manual link below and you will see what they are selling now - no delay. The 6300 is just like the 6200 with the exception of it has both the delay and a glass top. Maybe you have an earlier 6200SWx model and they took it out since then? This may also help explain the 6300 and why it is discontinued as a business decision. It looks like they were playing around with both the delay and the glass lid, trying to see what sold well and what was not worth the extra money to consumers. The 6300 probably did not sell well, what with the 6200 being less money (after removing the delay from later models) and money smart people questioning the value of more money for the glass lid and a delay option in the 6300. Husband and I have pretty much decided we will buy the 4 year extended warranty for $129, with half being returned if we do not use it, as the serial number starts with CT, which if I am understanding correctly, was prior to the CU13 series and below dividing line which is supposed to separate the F51 problem. If this unit has that problem, a new control board is $130 in parts plus my effort to fix it. It is also a 6300SB0 vs the latest of SB2 that might be found, so I know it is one of the earlier production units. What does your 6200 serial number start with and have you had any F51 error codes? I just did the search on your prior posts. I then checked out the link on the GE Profile Harmony video - what an amazing concept of clothes turning and water in a machine! Did you check out the larger Harmony after seeing the video? I think I will be happy with my 6300 - this is so time and energy consuming to find the right machine.

Thanks, Gates. So, a couple of followup issues: 1. When I stop the cycle to push the 'water plus' button, no light appears; there's initially one beep; then if I do it again (unsure if it worked because there's no light), it beeps twice. I'm now thinking the number of beeps indicates how much extra water I've asked for, despite no light? Correct? 2. I'm confused by this experience: Just used 'Heavy Wash' for the first time, with a small load of cleaning rags and a very dirty dog toy. I chose hot wash/cold rinse. Pushed for extra water twice. While wash water loaded, I paused it a couple of times: first to push Water Plus; then to check water temp, and IT WAS COLD! Not even warm. Any idea why? (Of course my mind goes to 'there's something wrong with the washer's heating system', but given the complexity of using the options I'm wondering if I goofed up my original settings when I paused it those times, making it not heat up. The load washed a long time in a large amount of water (whole cycle was 54 minutes). When rinse came on after spin, I looked at it & saw it was doing a 'spray and dribble'. I figured this meant it would be a low-water rinse. So I paused it and again pushed 'water plus', at which point the darn thing filled up ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP, and then proceeded to drain out ALL the water it had just filled. No wave force action for rinse, just fill up and unfill. Weird. Then it sprayed the drained load awhile and instead of agitating it, just began the spin cycle. So: what do you think happened? Is it just a question of me confusing the electronic system by asking too much of it? Am I using the extra water feature inappropriately? Oy. I'm a pretty smart cookie, with a Ph.D., tho not in science or engineering. Sheesh, if I'm baffled by the quirks of using this thing, imagine how it is for working class folk who are used to the simplicty of old time top loader machines? Your thoughts (or anyone else's who's following this thread) appreciated. Karen

I have a LG waveforce washer which is based on the GE harmony, both made by LG. Ive had it for just over a month, though I havent experienced dry clothes or excesive sudsing in my machine (rock hard Water here) I can tell you this much. Your machine senses the load by how much resistance there is when it first starts and the impeller moves back and forth. The more resistance, them more water it will use to fill the load. I can and have used my cotton/normal cycle for sheets, but I do perfer to use my Bulky/beding cycle for it. It uses more water, and the sheets move around more "freely" As far as your water being soft, yes keep decreasing the detergent amount till you get the suds under control or changed detergents. I know if I add STTP to my wash, I can turn out some major suds, at least when I had a FL, making cool whip was not a problem LOL. Currently I can use Regular Tide, not HE lavender scent with no sudsing issue. Im sure my rock hard water has much to do with that. Plus al of tide Normal detergents do have a suds surpressor in them as stated on the tide website. I am more on a powder kick these days, it smells better and seems to work the same. I mainly use Tide and gain HE Recently Tried the new Wisk HE, works as good, smells decent, not too heavy and cheaper too. Persil rules though for cleaning performance and a truely clean rinse, but you gotta pay for it, not everyone cup of tea. I hope this helps you out some and keep us posted

Does anyone have a problem with smaller loads becoming unbalanced. I've owned the washer 2 weeks and have done approximately 15 loads and so far 2 have given me the uE error and extended the wash to rebalance the load. One load didn't recognize it was unbalanced but the tub was almost violently swaying side to side, the sheets were balled up on one side, and there wasn't enough water in there to move the clothes at all. This was only one set of queen sheets. I stopped the cycle, redistributed everything and the pressed the extra water button. It seemed a little better after this, but it's frustrating that I find myself needing to watch every load to make sure it's working properly. To me it seems the washer works better with larger loads, but does not work so well with smaller loads. Has anyone else come to this conclusion? Also, my washer has never had any jet spray action, where it's spinning very fast and the water is shooting from the top onto the clothes. Is this normal? Should I see this on every wash? Another issue I'm having is I was using powder detergent (only half of what is recommended by Tide on the box)...and after each wash cycle I stopped it and looked in the dispenser and over half of the detergent was still inside. This happened on every wash, cold, warm, hot, it didn't matter. I emailed LG and attached a picture and their response was to switch to liquid detergent. And my last question is, has anyone noticed the tub "creeking?" This started about 5 washes ago and it creeks like an old rocking chair. I can hear it from the next room with the door closed. I'm wondering if I need to have a service person come out.
