we also did have an idea on paper for a gas drying system, although that is unlikely to be added as the machine will already be quite complex from it's recirculation system and 3 motors

i know of Rober's Super Unimatic, it's a beautiful beast and it's actually become an inspiration for this project itself :))

so, i suppose everyone here has had some crazy ideas, with some becoming a reality many have thought of ways to make machines faster, better, even possibly creating their own custom machines from scratch using a production machine as a baseline but i have no idea if anyone could create...

update: after consulting with SeanA806, he recognised that the machine locked it's brake assembly up due to being sat for some time the resolution was simple give the tub a push to get the brake asembly freed it worked and the beast roared to life, faster than i have ever seen a Maytag run...

I have removed the agitator from the machine, everything underneath doesn’t look any different to usual

hello lads, this one’s stumped me I was running my Maytag MAT12 with a little bit of Citric acid and well…… Agitation was fine, splashy as anything But when it came time for spin, it’s belts squealed, which is something it has never done before I checked the machine with the lid open and...

Disconnect the NTC sensor. Turn the machine on while holding the start button, then rapidly press the start button 5 times and hold it, it’s the typical programming mode entrance procedure, it may have a code to enter the setting menu, try the code 125 to get in, if this does not work, try all...

Also on the subject of motors, the machine will keep its original motor It’s currently wired for a 2 speed setup, but 3 would suit it better, I may need a wiring diagram or another motor for it at some stage in the project but that’s to think about later on :))

That’s so cool, I remember that sound from the vid, first drain after mainwash Hopefully the beast works just as well on an Arduino, if not better :)) Best of luck Matthew

it feels strange for that to roll off my tongue considering the work Robert originally put into his original “Nerd Project” Super Unimatic around 15 years ago, but here comes another chapter to the lineup from none other than myself Me and my dad had an idea around a decade ago to start messing...

give AW its soul back

Reply #29 i watched it all the way through, the tub's balancing springs genuinely seem to be very innovative, along with many other features such as the machine technically not having a true outer tub, all in all it's a very interesting machine i suppose another thing you could do is film a...
