  • Grab the popcorn for this one!
    After the long delay the washer video is here!
    Amazingly, the wash fill did not ATC the whole time. The Rinse Spin starts out a little unbalanced but look how well the machine recovers!
    Many people have claimed that this machine is loud, but listen to it, it is not loud at all!
    3:12 High Speed Agitation
    17:32 Neutral Drain (Pump Show)
    19:52 Spin
    21:58 Rinse Fill
    26:26 High Speed Agitation
    30:44 Neutral Drain
    33:08 Rinse Spin

    Sharkie626 shows a great example on how a Whirlpool Washer works prior to the 2011 models. The 2011 and newer models now have lid locks and sensor controls.

    • @CrestwoodRocks
      @CrestwoodRocks 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      TechMasterAllen on the 2011 models and newer? Their is. You'll have to use a tool to onscrew the screws to the part that attaches the base connected to the lid. When unscrewed, the base would have to connect to the lid lock piece so that it will read that the lid is locked/ You'll have to hold that base until when lid lock comes on, but you will however have the lid itself open.

  • @Sharkie626
    @Sharkie626  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    They may not be much in production anymore, but the used market has tons of them. We have another Whirlpool from 1990 with a mechanical timer, still works perfectly.
    I know another user on here who has a Maytag from 1984; perfectly functioning timer.

  • @Sharkie626

    Ones likes these do better than other TL'ers with their short agitation strokes. Much older ones were extremely reliable, but sometimes the agitation wasn't powerful enough for things like work clothes.

    Actually Whirlpool didn't abandon these machines willingly, they were forced to by the EPA mandating washers made after a certain date had to use less water. I believe I read somewhere that by 2017 all new washers sold in the US will only be allowed to use 12 gallons of water for the complete cycle beginning to end. Makes me glad my 1978 Maytag is still humming along :)

      They could have, ( theoretically) used the same mechanism with the washplate design of the HE models and kept using it for years. Just change the agitator but keep the rest and bam! Old design with new washplate but with the tried and true everything else.

    @dualactionsurgilator Ahh okay, that explains the forward movement. I do find those vintage Kitchenaid agitators (the green ones) quite fancy. Ya know, with our 1990 Whirlpool, I have thought of getting the agitator cap since we never use the fabric softener dispenser for it, not the most necessary thing, but just an idea.

    @dualactionsurgilator The direct drive Kenmore were great. What I didnt like about them though is that the Kenmore agitator seemed to be too low height-wise compared to the Whirlpool agitator, and also the Kenmore's upper agitator did not move forward (clockwise) as well as the Whirlpool agitator.

    @dualactionsurgilator 13 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    @Sharkie626 Interesting drain mechanism. As far as the speed shift goes I would agree with you. I tended to like the Kenmore direct drives for this reason. You get more time of full action and it is easier on the machine to continue on high agitation for the full time. The advantage to the speed shift however is that you have less wear-out and shredding of fabrics. I have not found a significant difference in todays sturdy fabrics though.

    • @jeromedavis8575
      @jeromedavis8575 2 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @Sharkie626
    @Sharkie626  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @BernardR30 Indeed. Though, if the time comes, I am going to start looking through the used markets, where washers still gave you FULL hot water and a warm rinse. Maybe you saw already but, in my vids, we have a Whirlpool from 1990 with 5 temperature selections and on that machine, the ONLY repair done to it was the agitator dogs back in 2002, everything else on that machine is original.

    @gemini80204 The slow 4 minute potion of the main wash cycle was called the "Gentle Wash" portion of the cycle. The lower priced models didn't have this feature even though it was a large capacity machine.

  • @dualactionsurgilator
    @dualactionsurgilator 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Sharkie626 Actually the top part of the agitator in the Whirlpool was more for asthetics and to house the softner dispenser. In the Kenmore you had a removable dispenser that snapped on to the top of the auger.They also used the same racheting mechanism. The exception being the Dual Action Plus which had a curved auger fin which created more drag. I switched the Whirlpool style agitator out of a Kitchenaid Model when it broke and put in a Kenmore one. It worked the same.

  • @TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY
    @TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    the outer tub of this machine looks like that of a similar machine that has fill spouts in four corners of the tub rim. that machine is unique because it calculates how much water to use (meaning it has no water level knob on the control panel) based on the rate of water entry into the tub and how quickly the water is rising inside the tub. if it is rising slowly, then the machine knows the clothes are absorbing the water and are not yet covered. if the level is rising quickly, then it knows the proper water level has been reached so it stops filling
    however, this system is disabled if you open the lid, causing it to fill to the top no matter how little you have in the machine

    i totaly understand what your saying. we have a new high eficient top load wirlpool its kinda good but most of the time i think its just spinning the clothes. the whole barrel spins through the entire wash and it dosent have a motor coil. the motor coil actually pushed the clothes into the water. now the clothes are in the exact same place i put them in.

    do you think they won't come out clean in a top load? I always used to wash them in my top load.

  • @Sharkie626
    @Sharkie626  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @dualactionsurgilator It is a pump, since the house drain pipe is higher than the washer, it has to be pumped into the drain pipe for it to drain properly.
    Oh, about the no speed shift, this model, if you want to give them a level pertaining to the number of features, this would be more or less a level 2 model (out of 3), this one only has just the fast speed during the washing, which I am more than okay with, in fact, I tend to like it that way.

      Yeah I've seen that on a lot. Maybe try re-positioning the skate plate, or see if maybe the wear pads are worn.

      @@Sharkie626 Got it! Thank you for this. Also, I don't know if you've experienced this before, but my washer, after a drain, it goes with a slow speed spin and it takes a while for it to get to a fast speed spin. Do you know the solution to this! Not sure if there's something stuck between the two tubs or if I need to replace the clutch, I just don't know lol.

    This must have been very near the end of direct drives. The tub ring looks different .

    Thanks! I guess it's because they were more popular in the UK.

    @gemini80204 The slow 4 minute potion of the main wash cycle was called the "Gentle Wash" portion of the cycle. The lower priced models didn't have this feature even though it was a large capacity machine. The smaller capacity machines didn't sell as well as the large capacity machines did so they did away with them.

      It's interesting how these machines have such powerful agitation.

    I love direct drive washers. But didn't you have the 1990 Whirlpool Washer?

    Interesting. But yeah, maybe something in the transmission, or the bolts for the transmission may be loose.
