The WL26CW2 is a running revision of the AquaSmart WL26C rather than a new machine, and Fisher & Paykel’s guidance about the adaptive control applies to it unchanged: efficiency is not reached on day one, and the washer needs about five cycles to settle to the water pressure and temperature it is actually connected to. Owners who move house with the machine sometimes report it “washing differently” afterwards for exactly that reason.
