    Do top-loaders truly wash clothes better than front-loaders?

    Wow I never expected to get THIS many replies by members who swear by their FL machines. So the answer to the title of this thread is NO. TL washers DON'T clean better than FL machines. I mainly made this discussion for the sport of it. In addition, the agitator of a TL washer is harder on the...

    Do top-loaders truly wash clothes better than front-loaders?

    Sorry if this question has been frequently asked on this forum, but here's an observation that my family made the other day. My dad, his SO and I have declared that a top-load washer, like our Frigidaire, cleans clothes better than a front-load washer. I think it's due to the fact that...

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW TL Washer - Frequent Out-of-Balance Problems

    Great! I just may have to buy some suspension rods and install them myself, if it sounds that easy. Hopefully this will resolve the OOB issues I've been having!

    Huh? Why are you asking about a laundry hamper on this thread?

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW Washer - Drain Issues?

    I found another issue with my washing machine yesterday, which was worthy of its own post. Sometimes, after the rinse cycle and prior to the final spin, the washer will stop draining the water, rapidly flash the "clean" light and periodically do a triple beep, as if the washer has gone off...

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW TL Washer - Frequent Out-of-Balance Problems

    appnut For clarification, I've only ever owned one front-load washer over the years: the LG 2650 I mentioned above. A new washing machine is not a priority at the moment, as my Frigidaire still works. But if it ever dies, I'll consider another LG front-loader.

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW TL Washer - Frequent Out-of-Balance Problems

    Today My dad's girlfriend washed a large, mixed load of their laundry, and the machine went off balance during both spin cycles. During the first spin, I got the load balanced after one attempt, but during the final spin, simple rearranging didn't do anything after two attempts. So I took...

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW TL Washer - Frequent Out-of-Balance Problems

    Got it This sounded like a pretty trivial thing to post about, but I needed advice from experts. I agree, I should inform my other family members to only wash one particular type of laundry at a time. Frigilux, as a matter of fact, I used to own an LG 2650 front-loading steam washer at my old...

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW TL Washer - Frequent Out-of-Balance Problems

    I'd like to talk about this troublesome Frigidaire FFTW1001PW top-load washing machine, which came with my new house, built in 2016. While it does a good job of washing clothes, the machine goes off balance quite frequently. When it's thrown off balance, the status lights flash rapidly...

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW TL Washer / FFRE1001PW0 Dryer

    Yogitunes My water heater, which is a Rinnai RL75 tankless unit, is set at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. It's been at that setting ever since my family moved in.

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW TL Washer / FFRE1001PW0 Dryer

    Video I just made a video demonstrating the wash action of this washer. The lid sensor is located under the left door hinge; I taped it in to bypass it. I also stuck a pair of scissors through the lid lock, and that's how I was able to make the washer run with the lid open.

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW TL Washer / FFRE1001PW0 Dryer

    I've had this washer and dryer set for a couple months now; it came with my new house and I'm finally getting around to making a post about it. Right off the bat, I was glad to go back to a good old top-load washer with an agitator, as I honestly feel that this type of washer is more effective...

    LG Front-Load Washer Rant

    murando531 Thanks for the helpful info. In the past, I have paused my LG in the middle of a Cotton/Normal cycle, lifted the clothes up and noticed the small puddle of water underneath. So it IS normal to not see water during a cycle. I agree with your statement about detergent left in the...

    LG Front-Load Washer Rant

    I've owned this LG WM2650HWA front-load steam washer for nearly 7 years now. My dad purchased it from Home Depot for $900, and it arrived on January 16, 2013, replacing our old 2004 Maytag Atlantis TL washer which had just died on us. Since then, the LG has served us very well; it does a very...

    Is it really necessary to sanitize towels every wash?

    I agree with most Like I said, I think washing on the normal cycle with hot water will be fine for most towel washes, regardless of color. I just mix whites and colors, and they never bleed. Jerrod6, my washer doesn't have a Whites cycle, but it does have an Allergiene cycle, which I generally...

    Is it really necessary to sanitize towels every wash?

    I have an interesting question to ask. Whenever I wash towels in my LG WM2650HWA front-load steam washer, I have a tendency to wash them on the Sanitary cycle. Sometimes, I wash them on the Cotton/Normal cycle, but select the Steam option. Both cycles take about 2 hours to complete, which is...

    Maytag Atlantis Dryer MDE6400AYW - Loose baffle

    Never mind... My dad reached inside the bottom of the dryer and found the two missing screws all the way in the back-left corner. So we were able to fix the dryer after all! The old baffle had some plastic stripped off from the screw holes, and thus it would not have held in the dryer drum. So...

    Maytag Atlantis Dryer MDE6400AYW - Loose baffle

    Update #2 My dad took apart the dryer this morning, and I vacuumed the inside of it not too long ago. I took a close look at the bottom of the dryer, but I didn't find any screws. This'll be a problem. Where can we find replacement screws for this dryer? Here are some pics of the inside of the...

    It's here! The replacement baffle arrived not too long ago from Amazon. However, it didn't come with any screws. I hope this fixes the problem!

    Maytag Atlantis Dryer MDE6400AYW - Loose baffle

    Update The loose baffle has been slowly getting worse. It kept getting even more loose, and this morning, it broke off completely! My dad rushed into the laundry room and removed the broken baffle. But the good news is, the replacement baffle shipped today! So we can fix the dryer once it...
