- It this video the Maytag Atlantis does a full load of towels and jeans. Cottons/Normal, hot water(55-60C), High agitate and spin speeds and a 2nd rinse (not shown). This washer has the best turnover and overall wash action I have seen in a modern washer. This is evident by the rapid movement of the heavy fabrics and strong water turbulence. I am very lucky to have one of the last series of machines made in Newton Iowa." Thanks for watching!

Great white noise!! I am sailing off into slumberland...thank you!
I have my set for 9 years now. So far never a problem. It has gotten a little louder with time but no biggie...
12:01 HOLY CRAP! That is the freaking fastest spin cycle deceleration of any washing machine.
We had one of those washers & I adjusted the water-level "pressure-switch" up & the water-level for a full load was up to the blue ring on the top of the agitator. It held alot of laundry & it washed very thoroughly!
This my favorite wAsher machine Maytag
haha, I love the sounds your drain hose makes when the pump starts and then stops in the "agitation" direction.
Thanks for the reply! OK that seems much easier than figuring out how to splice the 4 wires going into the switch. Nice vid, I like the vigorous turnover these machines have.
This washer seems to be so much more smooth than my kenmore DD washer. I would really like to have a washer like this when my kenmore officially dies. The gentle agitation doesn't work and the spin speeds are slowing down.
I ha done and I loved it
Then I gather from your statement the only need for dual action agitators is that they break. The straight vanes never broke - never needed repairing. The auger styles have to have the dogs on them changed periodically, otherwise the auger fins won't turn
Just bought one of these used at our ReStore for my grandmother after her faithful 30 year old Kenmore 80 series direct drive finally died...I think the only issue was the motor coupler but it was long gone before I got to it sadly, the tub was rusty also. Either way she loves the new (old) Maytag, works perfectly, great deal and only for $200.
@yogitunes Most of the later orbital drive Maytag Dependable care also had a dual action agtiaator that they called Load Sensor. While the base on the Atlantis models is wider they had the same top mechanism although the design of the auger looks slightly different. Why the agitator arc is longer on the Atlantis models is longer than the Dependable Care I don't know. I will contact my friend who is a Maytag expert to be sure on all of this.
@yogitunes Hey, thanks for watching but, I 'm afraid you are a bit mistaken. This machine is not made by Norge. Maytag built these machines in the Newton Iowa plant. This also has a version of the Orbital drive transmission. You may be thinking of the Magic Cheftags or Amanatags that were out at the same time.
the best maytags were made in newton Iow. i have a 1997 maytag with the orbital drive tranmission built in newton Iowa it is still in use to day
We had a Maytag Atlantis, but it was EXTREMELY loud in the spin, and one time, i heard the motor running, and looked in the tub, it was not spinning in the spin cycle! so i pushed the rub, and it started spinning again! I think it was the clutch that was failing (we buy all our washers used because low price (except for our original Kenmore 90's series washer that came with our house i think), but we recently got a Kenmore 90's series washer, we still have the Maytag dryer, and it is still going strong! but R.I.P Maytag Atlantis, and OLD KENMORE DIRECT DRIVES RULE!)
How fast is the final spin
nice spins
@2006arakawafan
I have a Maytag Legacy, and trust that the rollover in it is better than it was in Direct Drive Kenmore. The Kenmore's can't really wash a big load as well as these Maytag's do.
i love this washer vid
kansas_ jesse I almost got washed out by this video 😂😂😂😂 hahahaha get it washed out hehehehehe
i'll say one thing that the maytag atlantis with dual agitator has the best rollover i have seen
kelly Savage going to be a bit late but I was wondering if you could send me a copy of the receipt for the washer and dryer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 pranked you prank comment
Nice. And it works a lot. Maybe one day when I am officially married.
No. This was made by Maytag before the WP buyout. It is based on a Norge design that was reworked by MT to be built in the Newton plant as a high end top loader.
mark fontaine: if you look at the top of the agitator it has holes when the washer starts to spin the fabric softener goes into a holding chamber at the top and when it stops the fluid goes into the rinse water.So it isn't getting drained away.
kelly savage Thats What Washers Makes The Agitator Do.
kelly savage yeah it goes to the bottom of the agitator and comes out
Nice vid, could you make a full cycle (wash-rinse-spin) video with a SUPER full-to-the-rim wash load and one with the MINI water level? A mixed load because you can see the items turnover clearer
.
Actually this machine was made in Newton with an adaptation of the Herrin Drive. Only the Atlantis models had this distinction.
Yo kkkkkjjjj
M
Mm
@DudeDie222 This is a half dose diluted with hot water. It helps to neutralize the detergent. By doing a 2nd rinse the towels are still very absorbent.
How can I find out if my Maytag Atlantis was made by "real Maytag" prior to Whirlpool? Was the Atlantis considered their premium line at the time, or was it their economy line? I believe the Atlantis was comparable in quality to the front-loading Neptune, but I don't know for sure. Thanks.
For relaibiltiy and buid quality I would agree. For capacity and wash action the Atlantis would win hands down.
That auger is essential to a good turnover in a drum of this size.
Nice washer.
@DudeDie222 It does clean really well. Even heavy fabrics get a thorough wash.
Newton IA Maytags were the best!
Whirlpool did not carry on the Atlantis/Performa machines when they took over Maytag, so they are real Maytags. That being said, these machines are the so called "Norge-Tags" as they are basically a Norge designed machine cosmetically modified by Maytag.
Is there anywhere I can still buy this washer with the matching dryer
she's going fast O.O
Love it!!!
Lift the top of the machine and place a solid object in the gap of the switch. In this case several layers of paper toweling did the trick. You will need a narrow (less than 1cm) flathead screwdriver to hold the plunger back while you insert the bypassing piece. At this point the machine should operate with the lid open. It is best not to shut the lid as this could force the plunger back too far and break the switch.
I like top load washers better than a front load washer. Because it is strong as well.
I have the Atlantis from around 2002 with a stainless steel tub. I guess I paid extra for that.
hey, how do you get the washer to work with the lid open? My 20+ Year old Maytag Heavy-Duty Fabric Matic wont wash if I keep the lid open.....
thankyou for another great video.... closeups are awesome
Back in early April I was at a Disney World hotel that had a guest laundry with small capacity commercial WP DDs with the kenmore-style straight-vane. They worked very well, There's even a video of them in the super capacity ones, they're good, but I still prefer my Dual Actions. ;)
We're cool, no harm done.
At my bro's old place he had one of the Maytags similar to this, only it had a different water inlet spout and a stainless steel tub and a different agitator. Was a great machine! I don't know what it is but I still love Whirlpool's neutral drains, I guess because of the noises they make and I guess I feel it doesn't like "skip" a cycle, even though sometimes watching the tub drain can be unexciting. lol

Sharkie626: Neutral drains seem more effective at removing sand especially and sediment and lint can get trapped in your clothes from spin-drains.
@@albertcarello7133 I feel quite the opposite, spin drains leave the clothes cleaner whereas in a neutral drain oil‘s that remained in the top of the water that float get re-deposited onto the clothes whereas in a spin drain they get spun out. If you notice in the spin drain washers the outer tubs don’t have the accumulated residue that neutral drain tubs do. I guess it’s half of one and 50% of the other?
@@petermaz701 My 1992 MAYTAG would leave sand remaining after a complete cycle. I'd have to vacuum it out for a couple of days and remove it by hand. I always thought neutral-drains were or are better at removing sand. Front Loaders are probably better at removing sand with their tumble-draining.
@@albertcarello7133 Definitely agree about the front loaders they would be the best at that particular issue.
Could you tell me how you bypassed the lid switch?
I have only used frunt loaders here in the uk. I notice the softener gets spun out with the wash water? is this normal for top loders as in the fruunt loaders its added to the last rince cycle. Resulting in soft soks :
That is indeed their one con. However as long as you don't overload, they should last several years. Our original dogs lasted 12 years, the ones that replaced them are 11 years old now and still working with no slips.
In this video, this Maytag washer was off balance. Should this be an HE washer, "woah, error code, off balance, call for service."
@yogitunes Sorry it took so long to get back to you. After talking to my friend "Marktag" he said these were a Maytag built machine that incorporated design features of both the Maytag and the Norge designs. A hybrid, if you will. The changes from the Norge design were made so the washer could be built in the Maytag plant in Newton Iowa. Odd stuff but the machine washes well.
Well this is another true auger agitator. No Micky Mouse one like around now that tug the clothes then goes backwards not forcing anything down.
@gemini80204 No I am not kidding you. This is the machine's high agitate and spin speeds.
What year and model is this maytag Atlantis?
When did Maytags first spin clockwise? It was counterclockwise for older models.
They spun clockwise when they had the Norge design like this machine. These machines were discontinued shortly after Whirlpool acquired Maytag in 2006.
Randy Hansen does the washer know time 😂 hahahaha you don't
I mean you do know time
looks to be a fairly decent top loader... decent rollover agitiaiton
My grandmother used to have that machine, but it got rusty and leaked, so she got a whirlpool direct drive before Whirlpool murdered their good machines. (This was about 6 years ago)
HurricaneForceGaming but it says 4 years ago
No, they got the machine 6 years before that comment was posted.
I had one it broke now but Have a Maytag heavy duty
Nice! Thanks for showing the controls as well. I'm often left wondering what the control panle looks like on some videos.
👍Yes same here
@SpazChat Then use your Whirlpool correctly if you don't want your stuff torn up. Like you said, the agitation arc is shorter, so that's why it seems "faster"
@Sharkie626 Thank you I always wonderd how it did it as on my hotpoint it pauses to let you add the softener.
Truthfully I have had the motor and transmission go bad in 9 years. It has also had issues with routinely locking up leveling legs and the cheap plastic knobs breaking off. If you want a top load Maytag get a Dependable care which is the real deal. These are a rework of a Norge design that MT made in Newton IA. Otherwise as I said go for a Whirlpool/Kenmore,
@dualactionsurgilator This is not an Orbital Drive machine, the plastic tub is a dead give away. The Oribtal machines had porcelain tubs. This machine was made by Maytag but is based on a Norge design.
So incorrect the tub is not plastic it is meatal or cast iron
How did you bypass the lid switch?
Do you have this washer still I love this machine
Well that I didn't know. So the auger design is more effective for super capacity top loaders. Hmm.
But, the nubs and fins on the auger also add scrubbing action.
mmm... nice vid. the agitation, it's like I could feel it on my body. the dipping of the detergents into the frame quickened my breath. the spin cycle... oh that wobbly spin cycle. I kept thinking "full capacity! full capacity! super load!" that's when I came. I will pay you money to bust into your Maytag during the height of the spin cycle.
next time can you put add a kenmore and a whirlpool in for a three way?
If you don't mind doing some maintenence go for it. Although these can and do wash well they are not the most reliable machines ever. If you are looking from that time frame best to go with a Whirlpool or Kenmore. They also do a good job and are far more reliable.
What is the name of the agitator? My Maytag Atlantis washer has the plain looking agitator with the same fabric softener dispenser.
LOL good rhythm :D
Great agitator can you show this washer on mini and the alternate speeds it has I wish to see :)
How take wash cycle? :)
what does the A.T.C. acronym stand for on the water temperature selector?
Hays Coleman Automatic Temperature Control. It regulates the temperature of the water in an effort to maintain energy efficiency and detergent performance.
I don't usually see a washer with a fill like mist
@yogitunes Thanks I really like it.
Never understood on a washing machine when on super load the water never covers the entire agitator. So why have the curley Q go all the way to the top? HMMM
Towels and jeans!? Don't the towels leave fuzzies on the jeans?
It goes all the way to the top in case someone put clothes above the agitator so they will still get pulled down
@dj921005 Actually it onlylooks that way because the arc in this machine is longer 120 degrees versus 90 in a direct drive Whirlpool/Kenmore.
Towels are always to be washed by themselves.. As these items retain the most moisture...mixed with any other garment, machine will always go out of balanced.
Not to mention lint.
What year was this machine manufactured
I have this Maytag Atlantis washer. I put the clothes in regular cycle and the rinse will not work (sometimes work, most of the time the clothes are wet). But it always work if it's in permanent cycle. Anyone know why and how to fix it? Thank you.
How do I leave the lid open while it washes. As soon as I open lid it stops. The little plastic thing on the lid goes in a hole etc. soon as you open it stops. What can I stick in the hole??
I opened the top of the machine and put a small wooden shim in the way of the switch to make this video.
OMG COOLEST FEHKING THING EVER!!!!! :D Blew my mind.
@yogitunes As it turns out from the feedback I recieved this seems to be a Maytag based on a Norge design. I admit I was surprised that it spun clockwise as well. I had never seen a Maytag that did that before. I will talk to my friend again and find out for sure why Maytag built them this way. I apologise for the confusion.
@DeanJB74 I've come across this same thing so I always show the control panel.
@vivendonolimete. You're welcome my friend. Hope you are having good weather in Brasil. In Minnesota it is -5C, 40km/h wind and the storm should dump around 40-50 cm of snow.
Is this washer still running
@SpazChat This agitation only "looks" slower because of longer strokes.
what is the spin 600?
What kind of maintenance specifically are you talking about? And what I have read Maytag Atlantis have good longevity.
depends on where it was built the newton ia was kind of good herbon il was poor
@SpazChat Then why is it that we are not getting tears on any of our things? If those machines always did that, then I doubt they would have made them for 25 years.
There is one possibility, have you checked your lower agitator? I have heard some say that they have found some burrs on them that were not filed off. I know one person who lives in my neighborhood have the same issue about 5 years ago. After filing off the plastic bits, he has not had any clothing damage since.
Maytag was awesome before kenmore and whirlpool bought out now Maytags have no spin water out anymore....Just Neutral drain
When Raytheon Corporation sold off their appliance business, Alliance Laundry got Speed Queen, & Amana got bought by Maytag. When Maytag bought out Amana, they started to use cheap parts in their machines, thinking their customers wouldn't notice. they noticed alright, & they got hit with lawsuits, & loss of sales, due to poor quality products. They filed for bankruptcy in 2005, & Whirlpool bought them out. Since 2006, Maytag has been based on Whirlpool quality, along with Amana. What Maytag should have done when they decided to carry the Amana line up, is offer fewer features, & kept Maytag a high end appliance brand. That was their mistake, & why the original company is out of business. Before 1998, Amana & Speed Queen were basically the same washers, but I believe the quality was slightly lower, in order for the machines to be sold by big box stores. Before 2006, Amana had a large selection, where now, under Whirlpool, only one model is available for washers & dryers (dryer is the same, except that one is electric, & one is gas), and for other appliances, a few different models & sizes.
Where did you bought it 😮
I just got one and I was wondering whether it did a good wash as unlike the washer I used to own, the maytag does not agitate around very much but have gotten used to it.

yeah so what's your comment apart from my username?
What kind of maintenance are we talking about?
@TheBrummybear it doesn't get spun out with the wash water, what happens is, when the washer spins after the wash, the softener is spun out to, what i'm going to call the "outer area" of the dispenser and held up there during the spin, then once it stops, it drops down and goes out through holes on the agitator then into the tub.
One of my favorite washers I've owned(had to leave behind when we sold house). Now I own a fl piece of crap!
Do they still sell conventional washers like this? And if so, what is their faith in the future? Everything now is high efficiency. They say even though it uses less wAter that the clothes still come out clean, but they dint. They offer a deep fill option for more water, but it doesn’t let you do it for a color cycle. And they don’t allow the machine to fill with the lid open. I hate that. We bought a new GE high efficiency and these are the problems we are having. I miss these type of machines
@bestcleaningwasher Thanks!
It lacks the inverter technology, I'm out.
(kidding, what a great suspension!)
hmm.... can you do a tutorial?
@SpazChat Yes, you shouldn't have to, but unfortunately, it sometimes happens. I even looked carefully to see if there were any in my bro's 2010 machine when we got it, thankfully I found none.
Cual es la capacidad en kilos dela lavadora ?
3:53 first spin/drain
@agitatorjamie Interesting. I will have to talk to my friend who is an expert on all things Maytag. I knew the design was different but not that it was a Norge design.
