I would (and may try someday) make a silicone mold out of the impeller then recreate it using hard polyurethane plastic resin. Would be in interesting experiment to try to see if it hold up for the long-term.

Looking good, you can seal that hole in the pump impeller with 2 part plumbers epoxy putty. It dries hard in about an hour and you can then sand it down to make the patch level. Does the motor start and run without issue? If you need fresh pump impeller bolts...

How is that after editing?

Well not all classic top load washers are belt-drive, some are direct drive such as Easy, General Electric, Frigidaire and later on Whirlpool so why not say classic top loaders and front loaders and don't mention belts?

Hi Daryl, thank you! If you are going to use powered detergent in the Samsung the manual says to place it directly into the drum and turn off the detergent dispenser for that wash load which is done when setting the wash options.

Hi Mark, I agree and I think 3 experiments will be needed to gain more information on the cause of the less soft towels out of the Samsung and LG: #1 Washing the towels in the Samsung then drying them in my Kenmore Gas Dryer, #2 Washing the towels in the Unimatic and drying them in the Samsung...

It uses 120 Bob, I wish the water heater in the machine was 220 but I assume they used the same heater from their 120v heat-pump Combo to keep it simple.

Thanks Mark. My meter only works as a one wire pass through meaning you place one of the two leads (hot or neutral) through the block to get the readings. The combo is 220 volt and has a three wire system obviously. I don't think there is a way to measure 220 volt using this meter on a three...

Very interesting Mark, thank you! My bath sheets are 100% cotton 35"x70" and 4 make up a full load with good turnover in the Unimatic. Your towels are slightly smaller at 30"x62" so I'd guess you could wash those 4 large towels plus 3 or 4 of the smaller towels directly above them in your...

Hi Mark, now isn't that interesting! Two things stand out to me, the large amount of water consumption and after extraction there was 68% of water retention. That seems odd considering a 525rpm belt-drive Kenmore left 71% of water retention. A few quick questions for clarity: How big is the...

It appears to me that the reason it is using so much water only happens on the "extra hot" water temperature which heats the water to approx 160F but I cannot find the actual temp figure anywhere online. At the end of the wash when the water is heated it fills the entire bottom of the drum up...

"Robert, a BIG congratulations on your new Samsung Washer/Dryer combo! It's always fun to have a new toy! What was your deciding factors for purchasing: a Combo-all-in 1, and getting a Samsung brand versus other on the market?" Hi Rich thank you! It was nothing more than the fact that it was...

I should mention for everyone that the Normal cycle provides just about every option setting one could wish for. The only two it leaves out are the “Extra Low” spin speed (which I can’t imagine ever needing) and the High drying temperature—Normal is as hot as it will go. For some curious reason...

Hi Jamie. I haven't found wrinkling to be a problem but I don't wash huge wash loads all at once generally. I'm used to the 8-12 pound load sizes that the rest of my machines are rated for. The biggest load I've done is about the size that would fit into a standard capacity GE Filter-Flo or...

Hi John. When Lowes called to confirm the delivery time they asked if I had two machines to remove and of course I said no, so I assume the delivery guys were already given the instructions of no haul-away machines. As for the fabric softener, this machine doesn't have traditional softener...

Hi Mike! Yes I had the delivery guys bring it downstairs who were also the installers, however I just asked them to place the washer on the pedestal as I will install it myself. Surprisingly, they hardly noticed the other machines actually or so it seemed and they were just thrilled that I...

Not yet but I will sometime soon I'm sure.

This morning I did a load of colors and it was a success. The size of the load was too big for any of my 50's machines but fits perfectly to make a maximum size load in my 1962 General Electric-V12 12lb machine. Here is the end results, still 20 gallons with AI selected! One wash and two...

At least I can see and hear a proper washing machine while using the 21st century combo lol!!!!!

I have no idea actually how it detects clothing dryness actually.
