so I will have to check it out to see if water is still dripping out on a second spin as well. I have found that, especially with loads with jeans or other heavy clothes in them, if I stop the washer in mid-spin and rearrange the load, I will often have more water pulled out of the load.

Thanks for the tip.....every little bit helps.
