I got in multiple washers today and I was surprised when I got in a Speed Queen with bad bearings. I got in a 2017 Speed Queen top loader with bad bearings. Yes, bad bearings. Roaring like an airplane on spin cycle. A Whirlpool WTW5057LW0 washer (made on 41st week of 2021). Bad bearings, very...

Control board problems are much more common on newer VMWs. Got in two today. I get in VMWs about every time and I repair them. Today just got in a Whirlpool WTW5010LW0 with a bad board. Board is bad, not working, machine was made in 2024. I also got in this Whirlpool WTW4816FW3 that’s...

The bigger VMWs and the VMAXs use this pump style. I don’t think any VMW uses it anymore tho.

And I got in several machines today, many are VMW: Maytag MVWC200XW0 washer - roaring spin cycle and bad bearings. Maytag Bravos X MVWX700XL2 washer (made on 15th week of 2013) - roaring spin cycle and bad bearings. I got a gearcase for it so I’m going to put a gearcase on this one. Kenmore...

I went to visit one of my friend’s houses today, and his is a Maytag Centennial MVWC200XW3 washer, it’s like 12 years old or something. It was actually sounding normal on wash cycle and filled, but once it go into the spin cycle it was LOUD. Like a jet engine taking off, so bearings are...

Got in more washers, made another video in files. Whirlpool WTW4816FW1 washer - manufactured on the 49th week of 2016. Bad bearings - loud roaring spin cycle. No fix. Very loud. Older GE Model-T WBSR3140DAWW washer, was a simple fix, was just a bad timer and I threw a new one on and it was all...

I just got in VMWs and VMAXs yesterday, and even a couple GE’s, I made the video on my files to remember the machines. one 2019 Maytag MVWB835DW4 made on 45th week of 2019 with a bad control board (good bearings tho) so I might save a Gearcase on that one, an Amana NTW4516FW1 washer (made on...

Maybe. But that’s about it. Rest of the GE commercial is the same. And all of these motors seem to be good quality. The only failure i occasionally see with them really is when the internal bearings war out. But it’s much more commonly the gearcase bearing that’s causing the noise.

Don’t buy top loading Whirlpool tho, they are junk. Repair them almost every day. VMW’s use undersized gearcase, belt, and motor. Their Gearcase is also made of plastic on the inside, and they are just made to fail after 3 years. The newest VMW’s are worse and don’t clean well at all. The dual...

I’ve used the cheap Amana before at a vacation house before, it was the older NTW4650YQ0 from 15th week of 2013 according to serial number, don’t know what I thought about it. It had the straight vane agitator with load size selectors and used a full tub of water. Sure it’s better than the newer...

The older versions of the VMW Amana used the straight vein agitators and some used H.E. agitators. And yes, VMW Amanas will have good parts when new it’s not defective. Although they did make the DAA older Amana’s with the DAA such as the NTW4700YQ, NTW4701BQ, NTW4501XQ, and NTW4601XQ. But most...

So you’d rather use a cheap Amana VMW with roaring bearings than a Model-T that’s in fully good condition.

Actually, no, those cheap VMW Amanas, Ropers, Admirals, did destroy themselves when off balance too, the balance sensors often bypassed due to it being off balance at a high speed. The higher end VMWs seem to sense out of balance loads properly, but go online and you’ll see a bunch of the low...

I believe my friend’s GTWN4250D1WS is a 2014, bearings only recently started getting noisy on it, very loud on spin cycle. It even has good shifter coils as it agitates normally, the bearings in it just are starting to fail. It replaced a Model-T from 2000 which failed in 2014, so even their...

And I know someone with a HotPoint HydroWave with the plastic inner drum at their apartment. I think the tub straps are failing on that one but it does work. The tub straps are failing I think.

Actually, it’s the agitator one, not infusor. Model GTWN4250D1WS. I thought that was an infusor model but I looked it up, and I believe that was the DAA version. It does still have bad bearings but otherwise works fine.

A lot of people hate HydroWaves/Model Ts on here. But I know someone who has their model T lasting 20 years and another with a 22 year old model T still going strong. I also know someone with a GE HydroWave GTWN4250D1WS, this is the infusor version but it’s probably like 10 years old and it’s...

Don’t listen to Appliance Insider recommending the GE Commercial over the Maytag. Appliance Insider just hates everything branded Maytag if it’s made by Whirlpool. But then he recommends the Whirlpool and Amana which is literally the same exact machine. Also, the Maytag commercial does use...

The commercial units use the same gearcase as residential ones. It uses uses WH03X33733. The SAME gearcase as the residential machines. So the claim that the GE commercial’s use a better transmission than the residential units is nothing but a ploy. GE’s commercial machines are the worst...

I’ve taken apart a transmission. Both off older VMW units, but I’m pretty sure the newer transmissions look similar.
