DC5000WE Dryer (TC5 matching dryer) No toasty clothes here. I have the electric version. I spin dry first using a Panda or Ninja (I prefer Ninja overall). I use the same settings I did on my old LG dryer that went with a front load. This model has some kind of higher heat setting for...

Normal Eco and TC5 Normal Eco is my favorite cycle especially for a half load. Choose "Heavy Soil" option, and I get a longer wash and whatever water temp I choose. The spray rinse is adequate. I also spin dry them before placing on a shorter dry cycle. Spin drying with a Panda or Ninja...

Maytag mvwp575gw Agitator Removal Pix Refer to picture 8. I won't be able to come back and edit this post, so hopefully they'll upload in the correct order. I don't keep the video up because I don't have time to edit them any more to make sure the info is still correct. Honestly, I think...

I sort too, but... now I have to use more water, additives, detergent, and hot water to wash because even the two of the best top loads today only have half tub or full tub fill. There are times I just need a small load. It is the one reason I've kept the Magic Chef portable and will probably...

Update to Reply #29 for Top Load Owners & Idea for FL? For top load owners... The OdoBan (or something similar) used per instructions (key is to soak in as little water as possible to allow for the concentration of solution as recommended), machine wash as usual, and use the anti-bacterial...

More concentrated? I have top loads. My water heater is set at 120. I use warm for almost all loads and hot for whites. John L.'s post made me think. Was it really the heat option on the LG that reduced the mildew and pet odor smell or something else? Both of my top loads have a really...

On wash day, turn up water heater? I know this would not be an option for all. There is no automatic temperature control with Speed Queen. I am fortunate that I have a gas water heater. I would just turn it up as needed. I have been leaving mine at 120, and it seems to work for me. With...

ryner1988, DADoES, and GELaundry4Ever Ryner1988, I haven't noticed a dusty feeling at the bottom of either tub. I've had the Maytag for over four years now, and the SQ TC5 is a more recent purchase. I see Tide powder recommended all the time, so that is just what I mostly use. However, I...

biggpete I am probably similar in age to your parents. I went back to a top loader. Just easier to move around (if needed), use, and fix for me. The biggest difference between it and the Maytag is there are no pops and clicks as it progresses through the load. Instead it has a rhythmic...

I have both Maytag mvwp575gw & SQ TC5. Use spin dryer. At first I bought the spin dryer (I have the Panda and Ninja) to cut down on machine or line dry time and to save electricity. However, another advantage is it gets the excess residue that both of the washers leave even after the final...

rdmatos... I know this is an old post, but the topic is still relevant today. Speed Queen markets a feature of one of their new dryers for fur removal. I think you put the clothes in the dryer first to remove the pet fur (lint filter catches it). Wash and dry like you normally would...

ChomChom Pet Roller & Lily Brush For those of you with pets, try the ChomChom Pet roller on your flat surfaces and a Lily brush (both available on Amazon) to remove pet hair before washing. My Magic Chef portable has a lint trap. I wish I could find something like that to attach and use with...

kenc... that's what I thought too. But even spin drying and then putting in the dryer takes the vinegar smell out. The vinegar is used in place of the softener. By the way Odoban in the rinse cycle with a soak can work wonders too to get tough smells out. Here is a link with more information...

Maytag mvwp575gw and Fabric Softener The hole in the center of the agitator is where you can put fabric softener. It is dispensed when the water from the wash cycle drains out and the tub spins before adding the rinse water. I personally don't. All rinses are cold now, and fabric softener...

continued "cheap" can keep a consumer from purchasing a washer that actually cleans clothes. I would still purchase a Maytag 575 washer over a Speed Queen TR series (the agitub) even if the Maytag has to be replaced more often and would cost more in the long run. I value clean clothes. The...

I have the Maytag mvwp575gw and now the TC5. Maytag 575 has been without issues now for four years used for a family with pets. It is probably the second best build residential top load that can be bought (although the GE Commercial may be similar). It is very similar to the TC5 in what most...

Windrivers--rapid advance... I tried this briefly. I put the TC5 options on extra spin and followed the directions. Once it is in "spin", it looks like you can press start again to get to the wash cycle. However, it started filling with more water. Next time I do laundry, I will try taking...

Speed Queen TC5 Control Board Part No. I personally think the timers would be more reliable. However, I'm sure they got stripped when people tried to spin them around too quick. I didn't have an issue with the one on my Whirlpool top load the 15 years I owned it. It does seem like the boards...

Speed Queen: TC5 vs TR Series Water Level ? Regarding the Guaranteed Appliance comparison video. How does she get the water level so low in the TC5? If she took some out, wouldn't the washer try to refill to at least the half tub fill? Hmmm. I'll have to try that. However, it would be nice...

I still have the Panda spin dryer and now Ninja... The Panda has held up well doing wash for our family, which includes pets. Washer I use has a spin of about 700 rpm, so clothes are partially spun out before going into Panda. The Panda can get loud at times. I also bought the Ninja as I...
