30 year old washer??? Daaaang

This video is just what I was looking for. My husband and I just moved into an apartment with this type of washer. We were unsettled by many of the sounds it made as it washed our first load of clothes. We’re both totally blind so we couldn’t see the lights indicating which part of the cycle was going on. I love this video because it explains each stage of a cycle and each sound the unit makes. Thanks!

Thank goodness you can still get a traditional top loader that fills up full and has the traditional transmission in it. Speed Queen's TC5 series.

I once bought a Whirlpool washer. During the third visit by the repairman in a span of 14 months, he told me that all these new HE washers were junk, and he gave me two options. He suggested I buy the extended warranty to help defer the cost of his future visits, or I could spend a little more and purchase a Speed Queen. I chose the Speed Queen and have not seen that man in years.

yeah just called appliance dealer and a speed queen costs $999 w/a 25 year warranty , I won't live another 25 years.... where as a GE 4,2 w/agitater costing $599 with delivery/hookup & removal of old washer, but has only a 1 year warranty, it's only me and I do 3 loads of laundry about every 2 weeks. My whirlpool duet front loader has last 10 yrs, but I think the bearings are going out. When Mom passed away, I wished I'd bought her old washer, we sold for $50 in an estate sale, it was still going strong after 20 years of use.

Thank You for this expertly explained detailed instruction of how to use a new HE Whirlpool Washer. This was the only Video that actually took me step by step and allowed me to visually see what the washer was doing inside because the lid had been removed. Perfect!!!

My Whirlpool is 48 years old and still going strong. It has had one minor repair that I did myself with a part from Amazon. I like the fact that the machine has a removable lint filter so my home's drain is less likely to be clogged with debris.

My 77 Kenmore also senses an out of balance load. It will also stop and a buzzer will sound.

Will only buy a Speed Queen or a used washer made before 2000.

I thought it was a very good video, thank you for posting. New whirlpool making that slow washing sound. Very different.

Does water come up from the bottom of the tub as well? If I put the liquid laundry detergent in first, then load my clothes, the detergent will just soak into the clothes at the bottom. How does the detergent get evenly distributed throughout the wash?

Excellent Video really helped me in using a new top load Whirlpool washer..thanks and very well explained

One of the washers at my local laundromat is a Whirlpool, the agitator is black and straight with three fins, it senses the load like an HE machine would, and the machine dates to 2012.

I learned something new! Didn't know you had to add water to fabric softener.

I bought one of these in August. It never adds more than 5/6 inches of water in the wash cycle. I have to wash my king-size sheets one at a time. I am 100% dissatisfied with this washer. Note: I have found if I add a gallon or so of water on top of the load before I start the wash cycle it will add enough water of agitate the load. I wish I had my 30 year old Kenmore back.

I have an auto sensing Amana I absolutely hate it.. It's pretty bad when you have to have a bucket to add water to your washing machine just so just so the clothes are covered with water.. If they're not covered with water then they don't agitate and 8 and some of the clothes just sit there on top. Just waiting for a recall to get rid of this stupid thing.

Nobody: My heart during a final I didn’t study for: 5:50

These new washers are terrible. This low water usage is ridiculous. You need more water and a more serious agitator. The new washers do not clean the clothes. Leave residuals in with even up to four rinse cycles. So are we conserving water? No are we conserving energy? No. You need more water and a more serious agitator like the washing machines of 40 years ago. Repeat they do not get clothes clean.

@Sharkie626 My 1986 Kenmore stopped draining and it would immediately start spinning instead of first draining then spinning. I still have it outside with a tarp over it just in case i needed it and i think im just going to bring that one back in and get it fixed unless its the motor or transmission.

In the pursuit of saving water above all else, the EPA has imposed these standards on the newer consumer level laundry equipment. These newer machines in reality save nothing in environmental impact because of lack of reliability. Control boards failing is the number one reason these newer machines are thrown away before their time. Energy usage is higher overall because of longer run times to achieve the level of clean people expect as well. If you have one of these machines, make sure you plug it into a good surge protector to protect your investment.

My parents bought a Kenmore in about 2010 that was this new belt drive style. After 2.5 years they had to spend over $300 including the service call to replace the mother board which lasted for about a year before dying again. This machine was at their summer home so was only used 6 months a year by two retired people. When it died the second time they loaded it up and took it to the dump then went to Home Depot and bought a Hotpoint with an electromechanical timer and no computer to die. My mother loves it, she hated the Kenmore almost from day one. Personally I'll stick with my 1978 Maytag .

Notice she said the fabric softener switch to be on for the proper amount of rinse water… the way it actually works is with it off, it does this thing called spray rinses, where it dumps water on the clothes which barley hits the clothes and mostly the bottom of the tub, that is not rinsing the clothes… with the fabric softener switch on, it actually fills up and rinses the clothes… so all you people who do not use fabric softener, turn that switch to on/yes so the washer can actually fill up and agitate for the rinse cycle…

When using fabric softener, you will also need to select the Fabric Softener switch to ensure dispensing

@jmc6000 If a direct drive washer is tearing up clothing, then it is being used wrong. Remember, ours is 21 years old now and still working perfectly. If this machine was damaging our clothes, we would not have kept it for 21 years. Plus, it is a 3-Speed model, so delicates are never a problem.

Thank God for my twin tub 🙃

I know this video is old but my household also has a Whirlpool HE top-load washing machine. Unlike this one, however, mine uses an impeller instead of an agitator. In addition, mine has a built-in detergent dispensing tray which the user pours the detergent into before starting the load. The advantage to the detergent dispensing tray when compared to the machine in this video is that inexperienced users don't have to worry about ruining their clothes by not adding detergent properly since the detergent dispenser on those kinds of machines are clearly marked. Also, because the clothes and detergent are loaded in separate sections of the machine before starting the cycle, loading my washer in general is a less messy process. Many HE impeller top load washing machines and HE front load washing machines of all brands come with build in detergent dispensing trays to add detergent to as far as I remember so I could never really understand why companies would design their high efficiency machines without the detergent tray as in this video. Clearly, Whirlpool's high-efficiency top load washers have improved since this video was first posted on KZread. That's only from my experience with the better technology though as I still had a traditional water-guzzling agitator washer (that was the previous washer that I had before my current one btw) back then and by the time my traditional agitator washer did stop working and I had to replace it, Whirlpool's improved versions were pretty much already out there for the most part. I can't speak on behalf of other people's experience.

Wow I've never known the difference between fabric softener and detergent until now. I've always put the detergent into the agitator part where the softener goes and not inside the actual basket where the clothes are.

The low water usage saves water and energy. You need less water and a more gentle impeller for delicates that can gently wash all types of laundry.

No, it goes thru a fill and spin period to determine how much water to add. I've owned a Whirlpool Cabrio washer now for nearly 2 years. It is a great washer.

You may be saving a little water, but if the machine has to run for over an hour to do a load of laundry vs my old washer that can do the same load AND get it clean in less than half an hour how is that new one using more electricity by running so much longer "high efficiency"? Last I checked where I live water is a lot cheaper than electricity. I'll go ahead and stick with my original plan.

Hi cellrad, this option is for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain treatment. When Deep Clean is selected, the water temperature of the selected wash cycle is automatically set to warm. The water will then be slowly heated to the temperature selected, to aid in stain removal. Sincerely, Jennifer

This is the exact washer in my new building I moved to and it just looked like a giant dinosaur I was so confused on how to use it even though I’ve washed my clothes with many other washers in the past lol thank you for the video

Lol so apparently I've loading my washer wrong. I always select my cycle settings and press start. The thing supposedly senses and begins filling with water while I'm putting my clothes in. Like another user has said, I don't have time for the machine to fiddle fart around. Just wash my damn clothes already!

Another benefit about the detergent dispenser is that when water enters it, it dilutes the detergent before adding it to the clothes while the basket rotates to cover all the clothes, which coats the clothes more evenly than just adding it directly to the tub without diluting it first as with an old fashioned agitator washer. Again, that's just my experience and I can't speak for everyone else.

To save water and energy. My old washer washed my clothes in 25 minutes. These new ones take over an hour. So they're telling the longer the machine runs, the more energy saved. All this start/stop to sense balance, water level and rotation of the earth all take energy. In the amount of time it does all of this, my old washer would already be washing my clothes.

The direct drive machines lasts 30 years or better. Why would you want to change that? Consumers are having nothing but trouble with the new design. Defective lid locks, Control boards and tub bearings and suspension rods. That is why people are buying top-loading Speed Queen washers. Transmissions with metal gears, not plastic, no electronics and a four vane agitator.

finally somebody explains what in the hell the washer is doing. these new washers are amazing but frustrating

"Combined action of the agitator and basket help make stronger action" You mean we're too cheap to include a tub brake so we make it sound like something cool.

They're too cheap! It's all about money!

If you wish to use fabric softener, add the measured amount into the fabric softener dispenser

how to connect it to water supply and waste?

We have a Samsung Top Load washer, I kinda miss our front load we had by LG but sadly we lost everything in an house fire in 15 back when we lived in South Carolina now I’m in southern Ohio.

I think the consensus is that the new washing technology SUCKS!

The sensing takes from 12:00am to 8:23pm to complete??? That don't seem right

How can I make my washing machine wash with a lead open?

Thank you for the simple helpful information. l was pouring the soap on top of my load, now l know....thank you!!

THANK YOU lol i use to put fabric softner on top of my cloths and really messed all of them up

I know how it works. What to do when it does not work?

So.. what happened to the Fabric Softner?? It just Vanished

This washer will clean the load effectively and efficiently through the following actions.

When did the liquid detergent used? It wasn’t used till drain cycle but all were gone before rinse…

Hi Helen. The washer will detect an unbalanced load before filling. Once the load is determined to be balanced, it will begin filling with water based on the cycle you have selected. If you are interested in a certain model, please let us know so that we may ensure it has the features you are interested in. Thank you, Amber

Get a 2017 Speed Queen or a Refurbished Direct Drive or Maytag Neptune

Now those are good washers

Does putting the detergent on top of the clothes really stain them?

Yes, Colored Detergent does the same thing . We have a centennial which is a newer model without an agitator. For a normal load it fills up with about four inches of water not enough to submerge or suspend the cloths. So any stains on them or detergent is not gonna get removed because they will not be circulated. Only the stuff that's in the water gets cleaned.

If you need to add a garment after the lid has locked, press the Start/Pause button to pause the cycle.
