How do these work? Where is the pumped water delivered? LG makes it pretty obvious with their info on TurboWash--graphics, description. videos. The other extreme: Those that have it but don't mention it. Where do they deliver the water? Digging around about Electrolux, it has a little hose...

Name for the big speed ramp-up quiver? Seems like all washing machines while ramping-up the spin, go through a point somewhat early on when there is a sudden increase in vibrating that quickly goes away as the speed increases. It also happens at the end when the spin is ramping down to a stop...

Cycle Info Agree it's best to use the cycle that does what you want done, regardless of the cycle's name, making adjustments. But, how do you know this kind of detail (such as a spin before every rinse) of the various cycles unless you sit and watch each one? Plus, if you choose an option...

Talking about water levels & rinsing . . . I have seen videos of some short cycles that seem to skip the spin at the end of the wash. Is that typical for "time saver" or whatever the name may be? I understand that could save a few minutes, but I would think that would impact the overall...

"More Water" button My Kenmore 44092 bought in 2005 is having problems so I went through the process to decide on my replacement. Reading about the new HEs left me concerned about a brand new shiny machine that (thanks to the EPA?) uses too little water to really clean and rinse. I saw the...

TurboGE? Maybe they will. These 4 front loaders seem to be from a complete re-design. I read that they were engineered in the US, made in China, but they were emphasizing that they tried to take care of the issues. Maybe a future enhancement will be TurboDrum with 10 jets shooting from...

GE Turbowash? Like LG's Turbowash? No. Do you think spraying the clothes that are already in near constant motion would make a significant difference? Seems cool but gimmicky to me. I'm more interested in the More Water option in this time of sometimes overly-high efficiency. There are...

GE Ultrafresh Have ordered GFW550SSNWW & dryer. Dealer having problems getting the washer, made in China :-( It's been a month. Liking the idea of the ultrafresh stuff (my machines are in a walkway, leaving the door open is not so good.) Interesting that this and the lowest version (not...

Thanks for the response! I have found that if the load is quite small, it works fine. (Knock on wood it will continue until my new machine arrives.) With a rather full load, it will wash, spin, rinse--do everything normally until reaching the final spin. Normal for the start of the final...

My Kenmore 44092 front loader purchased 2005 has developed a problem. Using the Quick cycle (the one I have used most) it seems to go through the wash and rinse fine, including spinning, but rather than starting the final spin, it just sits. The lights, timer, etc. are lit as if something is...

FL Door Closed John, The gasket of my 44902 had no holes or other way to drain, and when any cycle finished, there was water in the main grove. It was probably something like 1/8 of a cup of water. When I forgot to remove it, if it was several days or more before using the machine again...

kenmore 417.44092 Dad, Thanks! Yes, the label has a prefix: 417.44092. Can you de-code the 417? The label also has "05/05". Would that mean it was manufactured in May of 2005? GE, I probably used the Quick cycle the most. The machine did such a good job cleaning that I could get away...

kenmore 44092 The Normal cycle says 13 minutes of reversing tumble. It says to conserve energy, for this cycle only all cold or warm wash, cold rinse are available & extra rinse is not available. You can select High Spin and Extra Spin options. As for model #, I find only 44092 (84092...

kenmore 44092 According to the Operating Instructions, all cycles use "reversing tumble wash action" with the exception of the Wool cycle. It says "occasional tumbling", no mention of whether it is reversing or not. Some cycles have "gentle reverse tumbling" (slower speed) Bulky says 10...

They do . . . I believe most do. The idea is to help prevent tangling, rolling into a tight ball for even treatment of the items. My Kenmore 44092 does and also seems to use it as preparation for spinning to help distribute items for a balanced spin.

My Aunt & Uncle's 1940's Bendix Fav classic: 1940's Bendix due to it's obvious (or at least appearance of . . .) raw power! The window is the bomb! Modern: (Hopefully . . .) The GE Ultrafresh pair, waiting for delivery. Appreciate the attempts designed in to eliminate the dread of front...

Thanks to Golittlesport in another thread for finding this thread for me. Very meaningful as I'm seeing the first, used, automatic washer we had. At 4 years old I was so excited when my dad and uncle went to pick it up one evening, I insisted on going. I'm told I fell asleep in the car on the...

Would love to see photos and any info . . . . When I was about 4 years old, we got a used Kenmore automatic. I insisted on going with my dad and uncle one evening to pick it up. I fell asleep on the way home, I'm told. The body of the cabinet was round like the shape of the tub. It had suds...

GE/Haire Haire bought GE. Per the "GE" website (Q&A section), these new design washers and dryers are designed in the US, the dryer made in the US, the washer in China...
