While there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that top loaders have the fastest cycle times when it comes to doing a load, I've personally found that the overall cost of operation just simply isn't worth it. More water, more detergent and eventually more frequent replacement of garments and...

I'll say it before and I'll say it again... User error should not cause the machine to self destruct. Or any other machine for that matter. Worse case scenario should be that the machine should just fail to get the clothes clean or spin-dried. I agree that this is certainly a engineering...

I always thought that this problem could be avoided by placing G sensors on the tub so that if it does violently bang against the cabinet, a tub brake can bring the tub quickly and safely to a halt. Hopefully it can rebalance the load safely instead of spinsploding. The labels are a step in...

Bah, for the price of a LG pedestal washer, I could just buy a decent TL washer. I'm surprised nobody on this forum has one, or tried to hack it so it would operate with the drawer open. Also, I'm a little surprised as well that the only seller of H-Axis machines in North America is Staber...

Next level, try it on the "Extract" portion of the cycle instead. j/k :-) (I know.. I know.. the G forces would kill him)

I've been looking for a washer that can be wall mounted. The Daewoo Mini looked promising, but it never came to Canada. I'd love to be able to wash just a few items of clothing without needing to do an entire load in a much larger machine...

With modern HE detergents, a lack of suds isn't always an indicator that the clothes are not getting cleaned. I think traditional Tide has been reformulated so that it doesn't produce suds as much as it used to. I think you're right about one thing though.. I think traditional HE style...

Please take a picture of your drain hose and drain setup and post it to this thread so that I can see if there's anything obvious. Maybe there isn't... I always thought that drain hose gurgling was normal...

I posted a 5-year review in a separate thread regarding my FL Huebsch aka SQ set, just because I felt I had so much to say about them. I probably will be posting another review in another 5 years, if I have the set for that long, which I probably will. My previous GE TL set lasted me for 7...

I guess all these years, I never thought to check the dispenser drawer while the machine was set for using an extra rinse. Now I'm curious..

Marky Mark: To answer your questions... The problem only seems to be when the "Max Dry" setting is used. It seems to overdry everything, regardless of the load. :-) I'm not sure what I'd have to have in that dryer to need to use that setting though. To the best of my knowledge, judging from...

Long story short, when I bought these machines, Whirlpool owned the "Speed Queen" trademark in Canada. Since Alliance couldn't that brand in Canada, they used the brand name, "Huebsch" instead, which nobody can really pronounce anyway. (It is pronounced "Hib-sch") So, it's been five years since...

Reading through your posts here, you mentioned you do up to 30 loads of laundry a week. That works out to nearly four loads of laundry a day! Since you rely on your washer so heavily, I'd recommend that you consider purchasing another washer and dryer so that the strain on each machine is...

Only thing that comes to mind is that horrible plastic cutlery basket that is found on cheaper dishwashers that sits in the bottom tray. Many people place the knives with the blades facing up and outward, which obviously presents a danger. The problem is that when the knives are placed with...

The one quirk I can't really understand about these machines is how differently the Automatic Temperature Control works when the lid is open vs when it is closed. I don't honestly see what opening the lid while it is filling should have anything to do with it, except that perhaps it would...

This is a near TOL early to mid 2000's GE Profile. I had the model down from this that had a bunch of knobs instead of touch controls. It had a Hot/Warm/Cold temperature selection, but only cold rinses.

Huebsch is pronounced like "Hib-sch". That's Alliances commercial brand outside of the USA. Just got a response back from Alliance. Apparently, the Canadian Speed Queen washers are going to have the funky symbols on the electronic control panels. I guess since there is a lot of space adjacent...

It makes me wonder what they're going to do with the Huebsch brand in Canada. Also, Huebsch washers with the electronic controls have those funky symbols for the control panel so that they don't have to worry about the bilingual requirements for Canadian appliances. (Shown in link below) It...

My Huebsch washer has been buzzing ever since I got it. I think this behavior is normal. It's probably a transformer that doesn't have rubber mounts to absorb the vibration from the 60 hz.

It sounds like an Imperial set would be a good fit for you then. I personally dislike the electronic touchpad controls as well and would prefer knobs, just because they're so much easier to use, very intuitive and simple. The one thing that burns me up a bit though is that the Huebsch models...
