Given the history of this machine, and the liklihood of further problems down the road my recommendation is not to use the 2nd rinse, and use the machine until something else happens and then replace it with a nice, no frills top loader. Yeah, I know, we are supposed to tell you how to fix things, but sometimes we don't.
