TimS, i had a Tappan top load washer with electric dryer, both were purchased in 1997, they were still with me when I sold my house in 2012. The washer was extra large capacity, the only problem it had was the basket wouldn't index by quarter turns during agitation, sometimes it did. the machine otherwise worked quietly with no noises during spin. Yes the basket and outer tub was PVC, and it was made in Ohio. Oh, it washed clothes very well.
I have a Frigidaire unified washer & dryer. 24 years old, washing machine is no longer working. Looking for a potable washing machine but right up wasn't good I.e leaking, noisy, unstable, plastic parts.
I just picked up a frigidaire flse60rgs1 stackable unit for free from the curbside. It's a very clean unit. I figured I'd see what's wrong with it & fix it.
Judging from the sound of that, it sounds like you wanna be a collector, like me. I've never really cared for these Electrolux built machines like this that have the indexing tub, no tub brake and that stupid lid lock thing they put on the later ones.
I like dual action agitator better than straight vane because the load gets cleaner better. With straight vane, the top clothes mostly float at the top.
@Ilovewashers Thanks for commenting on my vid! I haven't gotten comments on my vids for along time. I mean I got comments though, I just haven't gotten them for a while :(. Thanks though! I'm happy to see new comments come up on my vids! I'd like that. Would you agree? Have a happy new year though!
i also had a machine like this double stack or whatever but it was kenmore, lemme tell you it had a hell of a turnover on the clothes but the dryer burned our clothes & so we had to replace it with a frigidaire unimatic with multimatic transmisson.
I see a lot of people complaining about the indexing tub and the fact that most of it is plastic. But it is not as bad as it looks. I have ran loads from underloaded to overloaded and it worked great on all of them. This washer was well worth the purchase considering how terrible most new washers are, i just wanted clean clothes, and you will get that with this washer.
Well it may do a decent job of washing clothes, but I still think a cheap used Whirlpool direct drive would've been the best option period. If it works for you though, that's fine.
Actually not really! They still manufacture these direct drives in the stacked units. You can most likely find one at a Home Depot or Lowes, or maybe just one of your local new & used appliance dealers.
I had one of these way way back in the day, I believe it was a Magic Chef brand. Not a stacked unit either but other than that it was exactly the same as this
It's because people want to see how effective is a washer before buying. It is a good thing that I bought a dual action top loader. There are too many complaints with front loaders and he washers on you tube. I watched a lot of yt videos about washers before I bought mine.
This washer reminds me of my mother's washer except hers was a White Westinghouse heavy duty extra large capacity washer. It had 9 cycles and a 3 speed combination. Sadly it was replaced for an LG direct drive true balance washer.
They were maybe a little better than the newer plastic tub GEs, which weren't that great to begin with, but they still utilized an old school transmission, and were HEAPS better than what's made today.
this is also like the speed queen washer, it SUCKS, does not roll over, but spins around and does nothing but beat up the clothes that are trapped at the bottom
Los únicos filtros de pelusa que hemos tenido en nuestras áreas de lavado son los que están dentro de la tina de la lavadora (lo cual está fuera de discusión porque # 1, es autolimpiante y # 2, no puede acceder a menos que retire la tina interna), y el otro en la puerta de la secadora que simplemente saca y recoge la pelusa para tirar en el cubo de basura. No sé qué más decirte, lo siento.
lizboz Perfecto!! Muchas gracias!! Lo qué pasa es cuando la compré no venía el instructivo!! Eres muy amable!! Ya estoy muy satisfecha con tu respuesta!!
El "trampero" sería el filtro de pelusa con una pantalla de malla, que se encuentra en la secadora (dependiendo del tipo de secadora que tenga, se puede ubicar en diferentes lugares). Tendrás que limpiar eso después de cada carga.
En el fondo del tambor, debajo del agitador, hay un atrapapelusas que es una malla que se autolimpia al momento del centrifugado y envía todo por el drenaje. No es muy efectivo, pero es peor que nada.
'Back in 1974 , Westinghouse Electric Corp. sold it's appliance line to the White sewing machine company, later called White Consolidated Industries. The indexing tub was a Westinghouse design that was adapted to the Fridgidaire washer in 1979 when General Motors sold Fridgidaire to White Consolidated. Westinghouse used a spiral ramp design agitatror that worked well with the indexing tub.
the reason why the clothes just float on top is because of the rotating wash tub.. if you hold it in place you would see that the clothes would circulate towards the bottomand wash better... white westinghouse and frigidare produced these lousy types of washers.. the spin speed is decent though
Late reply i know, but i have held the tub to stop it from indexing and it doesn't increase the rollover at all. It is about the same and i think it is decent enough for a washer of this quality. It sure does get my things clean.
Why would anyone wash bed spreads or conforters in a conventional top load washing machine? My mother always made a trip to the Laundromat to wash them, this was done every year in the early fall. Drapes, Spreads and Comforters are to heavy for top load washing machines. And im watching some of you load washers, you all need serious lessons on how to load a washer, clothing should have mobility and should move freely.
liz boz Go onto the Speed Queen.com web-site & take a look at their timer (dial) controlled model. A friend of ours just bought one of those a couple weeks ago & it was under $750.00 for that particular washer.
+Tim S That's just for the washer?? I could probably go to a used market and get a good '90s Whirlpool/Kenmore DD *set* for under $200! My dad paid $165 for a used Kenmore, and guess what, he got a good quality, good working machine. (I have a vid on that machine you can check out on my channel, it's the *80* series from 1994, not the '94 70 series we have now.) Either way, congrats to your friend for getting a new Speed Queen, I do look forward to seeing a vid on that [if possible...]
liz boz Whirlpool/Kenmore (as well as most other brands) started manufacturing their washers plastic (internally) during the 90's. So that's not a reliable brand that will last for 25 years as the Speed Queen washers now do!
Here's the thing though, the only internal parts that are plastic on the 1990's, even 2000's direct drives are: -Water pump assembly -Motor coupling fingers (even so, nowadays couplers have the metal reinforcement in the center) -Agitator cam in transmission -Agitator assembly (with dogs & dog cam) -Outer tub -Tub ring -Spin gear -Only partial of the neutral drain assembly -Tub wear pads -Brake cam The rest, and majority are all made of metal. Some rubber, but that doesn't really matter in this instance. Other outer-inner *plastic* components such as the fill spout and that kind of stuff don't really matter either, as in reliability. The fill spout/spigot can and will crack on any machine over time, unless I don't know if the *new* Speed Queen spouts are metal or not. But I know which parts are and are not metal on a D.D. because I've taken apart D.D.s before and put them back together. Either way, compare the list of plastic components on the direct drives above, to how many plastic parts the new belt drive 'space ship' Whirlpool/Kenmore/LG/Samsung/GE/Frigidaire things from another galaxy, are equipped with along with the electronic bells whistles. And tell me which is better between the D.D., and said new belt drives. Speed Queen even nowadays is out on that one because of it's quality overload.
I love the drain and spin cycles. They are my favorite

That is a really fast spin. I can imagine a lot of water extraction!

I agree with you 100% but aren't they hard to find as a stacked unit?
Actually not really! They still manufacture these direct drives in the stacked units. You can most likely find one at a Home Depot or Lowes, or maybe just one of your local new & used appliance dealers.
the reason being they float at the top, is becuase the basket is spinning as well- should be stationary

Once again, that's no surprise that it was replaced with a new one. They all do that after it turns 10 years old or more. Tsk, tsk.
@@lizboz She had it for a long time. The LG washer is not bad though.
Do you have any instruction on how to take tge outer shell off of a fwx223lbs7 Frigidaire washing machine?
crazy uploader!!!
Hey Lizboz I saw a set like that at a church for a parents day out in Cookvile
Great.
How many rpms does it spin
@Ilovewashers haha, I believe so!
if you prefer an upright, use only one that does not let the basket move during agitation, and while i am at it, the "dual" spiral agitator sucks!
Compared to most of what's available now I would take this in a minute.
Oh certainly. At least it had one good thing about it which was ALL mechanical parts!
These were definitely decent machines!
They were maybe a little better than the newer plastic tub GEs, which weren't that great to begin with, but they still utilized an old school transmission, and were HEAPS better than what's made today.
However, the indexing tub personally, is a deal killer for me.
@@lizboz I think these are worst than the older GE washers.
@@coolrobuxgamingthis machine is a Frigidaire stackable
I rly like that washer
I wouldn't say it's the greatest, but it's decent.
lizboz we had one in our old house
lizboz it was inexpensive tho when my dad bought it new
OK.
this is also like the speed queen washer, it SUCKS, does not roll over, but spins around and does nothing but beat up the clothes that are trapped at the bottom
And also if you stop it manually, it also does it, too. JK, lol, I haven't heard it do that :P.
frigidaire stackable washer, and dryer and its washing comforters.
Yep, that's exactly what's happening right there! ;)
good. job
I have that one, and I'm trying out to figure out how to use it u.u
super surgilator agitator should do it. or however you spell it haha
Nice washer is it a direct drive or belt drive!
These were belt drive machines.
mi lalavadora es un centro de lavado tiene un problema aunke este en modo apagado en el reloj hace un ruido feo el motor
vinieron a revisarla y le kitaron el reloj y aún así sigue sonando el ruido
Sounds like the pump shut off before the motor.
Si, perdón pero yo me refería en el,área de lavado, no la del secado!! O no,tiene trampero ahí?.
Los únicos filtros de pelusa que hemos tenido en nuestras áreas de lavado son los que están dentro de la tina de la lavadora (lo cual está fuera de discusión porque # 1, es autolimpiante y # 2, no puede acceder a menos que retire la tina interna), y el otro en la puerta de la secadora que simplemente saca y recoge la pelusa para tirar en el cubo de basura. No sé qué más decirte, lo siento.
lizboz Perfecto!! Muchas gracias!! Lo qué pasa es cuando la compré no venía el instructivo!! Eres muy amable!! Ya estoy muy satisfecha con tu respuesta!!
¡No hay problema!
Maybe 640 RPM, but I'm not sure though.
when it stopped spinning that is.
why are there videos of washing machines with 5000+ views
she should have put the detergent at the bottom of the wash so that it can work its way up
+Naomi D Actually, it's a he, thank you very much. ;)
liz boz 😊😊😊

I love washers, toilets, urinals, AC units, and classic cars!
Cool.
Yeah!! I’m a huge fan of your channel! I’ve been watching your Kenmore direct drive videos since 2013!!!!
the washing machine is making noise because its very old because it's delicate!
Buen día,, donde está el,atrapapelusa de el centro de lavado?? Como desecha las pelusas de la,ropa?.
El "trampero" sería el filtro de pelusa con una pantalla de malla, que se encuentra en la secadora (dependiendo del tipo de secadora que tenga, se puede ubicar en diferentes lugares). Tendrás que limpiar eso después de cada carga.
lizboz hola,gracias por Tu Respuesta!! Pero me refiero al,área de lavado!! No en la secadora! O manda directo al drenaje las pelusas??

Derecha...

It's weird how the tub spins during agitation. There should be a brake that engages to stop that for more efficient wash and turnover. That sucks.
StarzXFP The tub spinning is called indexing.
+Marshall H. (gatrwrks) well then why does it index the whole cycle
Doris real mother of calliou the tub is spinning against the agitator, not with it, thus resulting in better washing

At the time I thought these were cheap plastic WCI junk, but now I would take this over any HE top load washer today. Funny how perspective changes.
¿para que le colocó el destornillador?.
Para cerrar el interruptor de seguridad / interruptor de tapa.
que extraño tenga que utilizarse algo externo tan ordinario más estético que tenga un dispositivo para esa acción gracias.
the reason why the clothes just float on top is because of the rotating wash tub.. if you hold it in place you would see that the clothes would circulate towards the bottomand wash better... white westinghouse and frigidare produced these lousy types of washers.. the spin speed is decent though
marcus markus or because it's a thick ass comforter
Late reply i know, but i have held the tub to stop it from indexing and it doesn't increase the rollover at all. It is about the same and i think it is decent enough for a washer of this quality. It sure does get my things clean.
Wait you can hold the basket in place ?
It's because it's overloaded, these washers do have good turnover we had one.
700 RPM
no better machines..but not as good as speed queen or old maytags.
watch how much the clothes circulate, they dont, they just swirl around:(
ok.....what is this video even supposed to be about?! that is the question....

Worst Washer Ever! I'd Take A Unimatic Anyday
Menace Gaming wh?
Why?
i say crappy because its built cheap and there is almost no turnover of clothes...awful.
Why would anyone wash bed spreads or conforters in a conventional top load washing machine? My mother always made a trip to the Laundromat to wash them, this was done every year in the early fall.

i know right comforters wash horrible in top load washers
I agree
Probably one of the worst older washers ever. These and the older GEs were not that great.
What a horrible piece of plastic junk that doesn't clean! Send that to the landfill & replace it with a new Speed Queen washer!
+Tim S I honestly would, but do you got $1200 for a Speed Queen? :)
