- Towels get washed in the Super Wash cycle of the 1990 Whirlpool! The rinse spin is rather shaky, but since this is a direct drive, we all know how it goes!
3:10 High Speed Agitation
7:06 Neutral Partial Drain
9:08 Wash Refill
10:17 High Speed Agitation
18:13 Normal Speed Agitation
24:12 Neutral Drain
26:13 Spin
28:13 Rinse Fill
30:54 High Speed Agitation
34:50 Neutral Drain
36:51 Rinse Spin
I have this washer and all i can say is best clean ever. My wardrobe never looked so good. My clothes are kept looking great 30 years after the fact. Whirlpool really did something right during this error simply amazes me. I have the matching dryer also but the next step up solid state electronic one of a kind 30 years old still runs nice both still look brand new. I will never give them up nothing on the market will compare i mean nothing!
I just bought a ‘99 Whirlpool direct drive from a yard sale a few months ago and after changing the agitator dogs, it still runs without a problem, even after 22 years of use. Funny part about the machine is the previous owner had the lid switch go out on him so he cut the switch out at the wires and twisted the wires together with a wire nut so it would run with the lid open.
Haha nice! Never need to bypass yourself then! :D
How a REAL washer works, love these super machines.
The pen in the lid button.. that brings back memories.
Ahh... love these old direct drives and old belt drives,
They were indeed the best
Now this is when Whirlpool and some other brands made good appliances,
Great water pressure! Great everything, haha. Love these machines
That One Ford Guy, they are pretty cool aren’t they?
I like how the rinse spin is really shaky and yet it kept going like it was nothing, you don't see that in modern machines. It's just more proof that the direct drives are better than today's machines.
I know right? I do wish I could keep spin cycles balanced for these videos, but, as you say, it sure does show a very good example of quality!
Amazing how this machine, with 26 year old friction pads can spin a full load, and a shakey load at that, of towels. And get it to speed in just over a minute WHILE throwing MORE water on those towels as thats happening.
Right? That spin clutch held up extremely well!
I think it being a 6 pad helped! Ours has the 3, but can still tackle 10 shaking towels in under a minute, so thats a good sign! Especially with all the spin draining it used to be forced to do, I'm impressed.
Love these old washers, and miss them too. I hate the ones now that are programmed with sensors and such. The new ones don't even sound like they 're doing a good job cleaning clothes.
Oh yeah, they don't do crap compared to these reliable ones!
I swear TH-cam has a spy camera in my house.
Yesterday I replaced the agitator dogs on my Whirlpool Imperial Series High Capacity washer and used the “Super Wash” cycle for the very first time. However, I did forget to double the laundry soap as stated in the manual so I added more soap in between cycles!
I had no idea this machine can wash a lot of clothes at once. I’ve been putting fewer items in than I could have and filling up the water to the top. I love my Direct Drive washer!
And now this video was in my TH-cam suggestion list!
Enter The Twilight Zone!
Haha nice! The general rule is don't load the clothes any higher than the top row of holes.
I wish my dad had that, but it’s super cool.
Love these older models, I wish I still had my top loader.
Oh yeah, these direct drives were the best!
They sure were. Wish they still made washers like this one.
I just watched someone else do laundry. What has my life become?
It's contagious!
Bring bags back memories for me lol
Now this is how clothes should get washed right here If only they were still built like this
Yep! Totally true.
Random question, but does anyone know why the agitators on these direct drives jerk real quickly when the machine engages into neutral drain?
That's because when the motor starts back up, the agitate gear is still engaged to the agitate shaft. The *clunk* you hear is the cam shifting, which disengages said gear from the shaft.
@@Sharkie626 also interesting how a machine this old the neutral drain still works very well. I've noticed on some of the direct drives the neutral drain paks don't last but a few years till they start wearing.
what is the capacity in cubic feet?....I have one like that, and I can't find any information on it...
I think it's.....3.4 maybe?
My parents had this machine for 16 yrs and then it stopped spinning and we had it fixed once and then got a new one because it would spin but very slow .. now we have the fisher and payke cleansmart top loader and it’s 10 kg and it’s the bestttt washer ever... also my old one was 7.5kg
Paykel*
Clunk blunk blunk.... that's the sound of a direct drive hitting the cabinet. When does it happen, barely ever. How much effort does it take to unbalance a spin, A LOT. We were washing towels and a winter robe today, and the machine was unbalanced to the point of where it was smacking the cabinet on the second spin. Guess what threw it out of balance, the robe. So I fixed it, but it doesn't end there, when I restarted the spin, it ended up being so balanced that there was almost no movement. The tub was absolutely in place, and I was like, wow. That's what real suspension springs and a balanced load do, its called the power of a direct drive.
Had two DD washer and both were great but a SQ top loader smokes them in the balancing department. In over 5 years never once had a load hit the sides of the cabinet or vibrate the machine visibly.
Whirlpool must bring back these machines!!
I wish they would!
The government won’t let them.
Vintage 1990
Welcome back Sharkie!
Haha thanks :D
No problem at all.
One word: Edit. This was waaaaay longer than it need be. The important points are the transitions from one cycle to the next. However, it did answer a question I had about Super Wash, so it was useful.
I don't edit these videos on purpose. I have always done washer cycle videos from start to finish. If anyone gets bored of the current portion, I have all the next ones listed in the video description.
Mortar Mopp Filming the whole cycle is the main point pf the video.
wow the old Whirlpool fill so much faster than the Speed Queen. Is it the inlet valve system?
It might be the larger fill spout too. The new house has high water pressure like this one does.
At 24:30, is there's something wrong? It's not spinning while draining.
Like set the tripod and camera in front of the water heater and film it starting up I would like that a lot
Love this washer I have one kinda like it but the Canadian style with knobs and a black speckled console
Ahh I think I've seen that one
+Sharkie626 it's got a console with a "water stain" black couloir and symbols on the temp, rinse and water levels instead of letters and no chrome on the knobs just a rubbery gray ring but still same mechanics and dual action ajitatior 24 years old no repairs still works like from day 1 I hope never to get an HE washer becasue those are trash
aah asbestiosis Plenty of parts to keep these machines going!
Hi,
can you do a load of laundry on the regular cycle on the ex large water level on fast agitation with the lid open?.
you can bypass the lid switch.
Please?
Christopher Schreiber I already have several videos on that.
If you had to remove the motor, what size are the screws on the clips?
Hmm, I think 1/4 inch?
My friend has a Whirlpool direct drive from the mid 90's. They got it a few months ago to replace a HE washer, but it didn't have a drain hose so they put on the hose from the HE machine which is as you probably know a lot smaller than what would be original to the machine. Anyway yesterday I finally seen it in action but it kept wanting to do a spin drain, I couldn't get it to neutral drain by agitating it longer (like I can when my machine wants to spin drain) for the wash which was originally set for super wash (18 minutes) so I finally let it spin drain, but then it did it again when draining the rinse water. Could it be because the drain hose is too small and forcing the machine into spin because of the restricted water flow from the smaller hose?
It sounds like the neutral pak in the transmission has failed. I don't think it's the hose, but you can try.
Sharkie626 would I have to replace the whole transmission?
You can either do that, or take it out, pop it open and try to fix it. There's lots of information out there on how to service these transmissions.
Sharkie626 ok, thank you.
Today someone was telling me their washer was squeaking badly only during agitation. Would it be the suspension springs?
Could be that, or maybe the wear pads are worn.
Sharkie626 there are those located?
They are attached on the metal base below the outer tub. Some disassembly will be required, but videos around here could help.
Sharkie626 trying to save another direct drive, thank you.
Super wash cyle
Let's go Superwash guy LoL!
At leased I still have my 2009 Admiral (Whirlpool) Direct Drive Top Load Washer, it did washed up very well to. Never failed me yet. My washer is also made in USA and they're manufactured in December of 2009, and back in 2010, we went down to Home Depot and bought them new and start to use them and it's still washes really good and last longer.
And oh did you hear that other YT user had complaint that their Chinese Made High Efficiency Top Load and Front Load Washer had exploded?
No I don't think I heard that!
I had the playlist that I called it "Dangerous Washer from China" which you can see the videos that people saw what just happen.
Bluethunderboom Can you do a video of your Admiral (Whirlpool)
washing a full load of laundry on the regular cycle?
Please?
@@MrSpyfelis I now have the video of the 2009 Admiral (Whirlpool) Top Load Washers available on my YT page!
Nice spins! ;-P
Thanks Phil!
Kenmore Washer At most, 5 years.
Sharkie626 Agreed.
jaykay18 hey guys i have a question my speed queen I moved homes and I also put the washer where the dryer should sit got extended wash hoses and a longer drain house installed correctly I wanted the washer on opposite side as when I had it how it should be the dryer door could not open fully it would hit the laundry room door well anyway question is now it makes like a air noise coming from the drain in the wall during agitation other then that no complaints on the washer I love it in actually considering buying a matching dryer.
Oh the drain line was replaced on washer before I switched the washer and put it in dryers spot and did not make air noise at that time.
I had to replace the drain house we mashed the orginol during move and caused a split I bout a generic one from homedepot didn't want to wait on the service people to fix something I caused anyway a drain hose is a 10 minute job.
Sharkie626 my mom has a kenmore elite top loader he it's about 6 years old now works fine I hate how it washes but it does work.
I want a washer like that
Used markets have tons of these.
is your washing machine slipped into spin drain while neutral drain cycle?
It did do that once, that I can recall. But that was a few years ago.
suspension spring is so weak because of out of balance during final spin
Do you know if this washer is still at your old house?
I am guessing it is., The new owner did want to keep the machines.
@@Sharkie626 Good love that machine. Sharkie626 did you know that the first direct drives had a spin drain transmission 1984 models like LA3400 Discontinued.
I did actually! There used to be a video of one on here. I’m glad they switched to neutral drains.
When did Whirlpool eliminate the partial neutral drain for the super wash cycle?
I think around 1995.
is jaykay your friend
Chrystal Peck Yep! Known him in person since October 2013.
Sharkie626 i asked jaykay but can you try to do a load with the front panel off he said it is hard if it is hard for you there is no need to do it but just asking :D
Trevor peck
So i looked up my dryer and decoded the Mod and Sea, and this what I got Brand: Kenmore
Type: Clothes Dryer
Country: USA
Model: 110.77422600
Serial: MT3001481
According to the serial number this product may have been manufactured in Marion, OH, July of 2006.
Kenmore whirlpool are the same
Awesome video! my only question is, where do you get spare parts for these older awesome washers??
RepairClinic.com is a GREAT site to find parts for stuff. Also, there were over 100,000,000 of these machines made. So parts will be around for a long time!
Where do I look to find one of these? I know the used markets, but any specifics?
Best thing would be to Google what's around in your area.
Maybe it's location dependent, but every day I see people selling their old Direct-Drive washers on Craigslist, OfferUp, Letgo, etc. And the most common reasons for selling...A defective lid switch, a dying water pump or a worn out clutch. If people only knew how easy and cheap it is to repair these machines.
One person is a tree hugger!
My only options are this or a modern front loader! I will never buy an impeller washer!
This is better over ANY front loader!
@@Sharkie626 well, the only thing I have against this washer is look. My laundry room is getting remodeled and I don't want to mix old with new.
@@agarcia4271gaming These are still a better look. Simpler the better.
@@Sharkie626 i prefer a front loader. Just select a cycle, and click the start button! Anyways, the GE washer I'm interested in has a vent, so no need to worry about the electronics frying!
the agitator sounds like its cracking or something
It's actually always made that sound. Unsure why.
Yeah what Matt said. It'a sound this machine has made since it was new. Some make that sound while others don't.
Have you ever had a problem with using powdered detergent in cold water?
Not that I can recall. But usually if we washed anything in cold, which wasn't often, a warm or hot wash followed with the next load.
At 27:03 in the video, wondering if you could reach in and grab that red towel only?
Too dangerous
Where is the soap?
Do you add soap on the bottom???
Yeah.
How does it know to stop draining? Water level switch resets I would assume.
Exactly. In this particular portion of the cycle, the water level switch is still in-circuit. When it resets, it tells the timer to advance.
Interesting. When I want a super wash on mine I set a 30 second timer, because after some tests it takes around a minute to drain, so it just works perfectly.
Next time you do a whirlpool washer full cycle can you add extra rinse and cycle signal?
Afraid not. I have since moved from this house.
@@Sharkie626 oof
Hi sharkie626,
I would like to see an extra small load on the regular cycle,
please?
I am actually considering a medium load of bed sheets. A small load I think may splash a bit much.
Sharkie626 OK, I would like to see a extra small load on the regular cycle, I know it may be splashy but it will be fun to see the very fast rollover
Sharkie626 Also, I have videos of direct drives, If you want to see them... check out my videos
1990 can be an X serial. The letter or number on the second bar can be a year manufactured on the serial number;
6=1986
7=1987
8=1988
9=1989
X=1990
A=1991
B=1992
C=1993
D=1994
E=1995
F=1996
G=1997
H=1998
J=1999
Well you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
I see what you did there!
Can you do soak cycle please
I no longer have this washer.
@@Sharkie626oh
why does speed queen does spray rinse during 1st spin instead of final spin?
Just different manufacturing I guess.
yeah i think so too
Can it spin a bigger load than that?
Maybe. But it might be too much.
What would you get when your 1990 dies?
We have a 2016 Speed Queen now at a newer house.
ok what happen to the washer machine
It's still at the house.
I have videos of a real Whirlpool washer,
Want to see them?
Search up,
1999 or early 2000's Whirlpool washer parts 1,2,3,4 and 5.
Also,
Early 2000's Kenmore washer parts 1,2,3,4 and 5.
Wow, did you have this washer for a while?
For 26 years now!
Oh My God!!!! And It's perfectly fine! You ever washed heavy quilts with this washer?
Why do I see a pen in the washer?
That's to keep the lid switch engaged while the lid is up
Why did you add too much Londry detergent?
Huh? I didn't.
*laundry learn how to spell. You look 55 you should know how to spell better, old timer. And he didn't even add too much. Are you fucking blind?
does that thing clean ????
Um, yes?
Of course it cleans, what would you expect?
Sound like a train
Ha! Kind of does.
suspension spring seems going to break!
i mean it's out of balance during final spin because the suspension spring is so weak
Nope. It was just how the towels were arranged at the time. The first spin was VERY balanced.
oh that's right, you're correct
i forgot
start of wash 3:09
I already have that linked in the description.
oh ok
Sharkie626 should it delete it?
Chrystal Peck Your call.
Sharkie626 is that a yes?
Pen in the door switch.
Yep!
New camera?
Had it since March of last year :)
It's like on super high-def mode!
I sometimes use 60 FPS when it is most beneficial, like the spins for this. :)
This is filming at 60 FPS!

Nice! I see the HD quality!
