    Newer Whirlpool washers known for control board failures?

    I think that Whirlpool should build a basic washer which has a mechanical timer to match the basic dryers that still have one. They would sell very well. Give it Four water levels, and let the consumer choose the load sizes, and wash times. They could be coin operated too. Landlords and...

    Gallons of Water Per Cycle

    Brings back memories of the heavy belt drives. The big gearcase, spin tube, clutch, and wig wag. The huge gray motor. The three strut rods anchored in the cabinet with rubber snubbers under heavy gague steel covers. The steel outer tub mounted on the heavy base where the struts carried everything.

    Unusual motor failure in an Amana VMW washer

    I thought ISE was originally Hobart. They had a couple of dishwashers that were identical to Kitchen Aid but had a slide latch rather than the flip up.

    I think it isn't worth repairing. Throwing good money after bad.

    Gallons of Water Per Cycle

    An older washer that fills the basket up can wash in less time than new ones which use a spit of water. More detergent doesn't help, and needs more rinsing. New machines are harsher on fabrics also because the impellers or paddles are rubbing directly on them. Just my 2 cents.

    When did Whirlpool start go to bad?

    Didn't Whirlpool improve the new direct drive washers with a new drive type after the older Cabrio full size models? Those had The F.P. type induction rotor/stator no? Do they still make the crappy VMW belt drive?

    I think I'm going to finally buy a front loading washer and I have many questions

    We have a Samsung 4.5 cu.ft. from 2019 with steam and a heater. It removes stains well, and rinses well with 3 rinses for a giant load. Most used cycle is Normal/steam. 121 to 128 min. with 3 rinses and high spin. No problems yet. Average is 3 weekly loads.

    Kenmore Auto Temp

    My dad serviced these for Sears and they had one. I think he told me it's about 110-120f for a warm wash.
