I am happy Robert saved the website instead of letting the domain expire or selling it off to advertisers that would use it for their own purposes.

I think mostly to to gain tub space. Except Whirlpool, every time a manufacturer has tried to make a larger tub machine it has resulted in a less reliable less easy to service product. For those saying larger tubs are better, to that I say you should be sorting which will force smaller 16-18...

I've noticed a pattern on this forum where modern machine enthusiast erase and re-write history. Covering up successes while hyping trivial limitations of vintage machine. And in such a way that those who've never used or don't remember a vintage machine are likely to believe it.

I agree with that eliminating the clutch rids of one more potential failure point. However, that assumes the machine will never suds lock or drag or spin a heavy load. When that happens there is no slip, the motor draws more current, overheats, and shuts down. Assuming it does not suffer a loss...

There should be one on display at the Guggenheim. Halogen Par Floods shining, the valve on a pedestal, descriptive plaque beneath it.

Since I put one in my Speed Queen I have not looked back or regretted it. 50/50 no longer has me switching to hot and the cycle time has sped up thanks to the quick fills.

I wish these washers had an analog pressure switch with a screw like the Frigidaires of the early 2000s. Much easier to adjust.

The parts diagram for WHDSR315DAWW shows a capacitor and clutchless motor. Most GE washers had PSC motors by the time control panels had various shades of blue. So no clutch. Pulsing the spin means sub increments in the timer. More complexity and more that can go wrong. Where as on the...

Fascinating design. Glad it was actually put to production. I wish more were made, I think it is a great idea that needs to stay on the market At least I do.

Ditto, check the lower spray arm bearing. Chances are you've got volume and pressure, its just going somewhere else.

Thank you for showing me this, I did not know such a machine existed. Good to know the concept was tried. I wouldn't mind some water loss in the distribution system provided a big enough pump and volume make up for it such that the paddles are a hurricane of water.

Personally, I don't trust the check ball. I much rather have a recirculation pump attached to the deepest part of the sump pouring water back over the drum or clothes. On a side note- A while back I theorized about a machine that actually pumps the recirculation water back up through a baffle...

Or the technical who installed it didn't level it correctly. I know some techs have a thing for self leveling rear feet. Perhaps because they've gotten it wrong in the past? I don't know.

You saw it, the public did not unfortunately.

I think so to. If not legally, at least morally in the eyes of the public. Real change will only come if people wake up and demand it. Putting quality and longevity over bell, whistles and apps.
