Hi John, no I didn't select an extra rinse because I wanted to compare the electrical usage of Sanitary/Steam vs. Sanitary only. The Sanitary/Steam cycle doesn't let you select an extra rinse. I'm sure the extra rinse would have helped quite a bit. Normally when I use LG washers I always...

Okay More Results! So today I washed those same four towels again. I first washed them in the 2007 LG, using only the Sanitary cycle without selecting the Steam option. To my surprised it used ever so slightly more electricity for this cycle. Again remember this LG is 18 years old and I...

It sounds like a SQ boot might just fit, although if the bottom is too lose on the SQ boot a cork or rubber strip could be cut and made into a circle to take up the difference between 5 1/4" and 5 7/8". 3" tall sounds about right too.

Justin what do you get when you measure the diameter from the top and bottom openings of that ripped boot? A Speed Queen boot has approximately 2 7/8" top opening and a 5 7/8" bottom opening. A Speed Queen boot might just fit as this machine was very Beam at this time. Worse comes to worse we...

Wow o Wow, I think this film was my favorite so far Cory. It is absolutely fascinating to see the assembly line of Whirlpool in '69. It is strange how they seem to be making one specific model of Whirlpool washer that day, but occasionally you see a lone Kenmore washer also coming down the...

Hi Matthew, wow super cool, you're right it is going to be the coolest thing ever when you're done. It sounds like you are going to use a direct drive Whirlpool washer for your Super Machine? Are you planning on using the machine's original motor or are you going to use something custom and...

Could be the attached pump is stuck as well.

Wow the machine looks just beautiful Tom! I agree with others as it sounds like a timer issue. The reason it doesn't fill at first, during the start of drain, is it wont start to fill until after the pressure switch is reset by the dropping water level. Once the pressure switches clicks over...

Okay I remember that thread now Sean. That's a great fix and should certainly hold up, I'm surprised there is enough room inside the outer tub for that nut and the wash basket not to touch it.

Now that was interesting to read, thanks Mel! One suggestion I found was to use a conductivity meter (also called a TDS meter or EC meter) to test the final rinse water. It measures the electrical conductivity of the water, which correlates with the amount of dissolved detergent and residues...

Sure looks like you found the one I got... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JB9B2QL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

That hasn't been my experience Sean, I have found that towels are the least softest when they are: Not Rinsed Well, Using too much detergent for the machine type, soil level in the towels and/or load size, Overdried in the dryer or clothes line dried. I haven't found spin speed to make any...

Hi Mark, I took my entire gas bill (as a pdf) and uploaded it to AI. I asked AI to read entire my bill and then asked AI to calculate how much it costs to heat one gallon of water, including all fees and taxes. It came up with this enormous formula then at the end AI spit out $0.00923 to heat...

"One big thing thats not entirely factored in the full run of the toploaders" Absolutely, MrStickball — I couldn't agree more. Proper water extraction is critical for several reasons. I really should have weighed the towels before and after washing in each machine to compare extraction...

Posting this in Deluxe as my older LG is part of this test. I purchased a 100AMP electrical usage meter similar to the Kill-A-Watt meter but it is able to withstand much higher amperage than the Kill-A-Watt. I killed two of those meters trying to measure a Unimatic going into spin at 25amps...
