I would say fairly slim. I haven't heard of any issues with Whirlpools exploding. If anything, Whirlpools have been more prone to the trunion bearing going out. I'm not sure if they've fixed the issues with it since they introduced the Duet's on the market, so I can't say if it is still an...

A simple fix I'm not an engineer, but I can certainly say that if they had put an accelerometer or a G-Force sensor on the tub, the software would detect the tub movement and brake the tub before the machine would have a chance to destroy itself. I do think that it is a variety of factors...

Hi Richard. I know I may be a little bit late coming into the foray here... I love my Huebsch (aka Speed Queen) set. I bought the gas dryer, which saved me nearly 20 percent off of my utility bills compared to my older electric dryer. The Huebsch washer is a workhorse and handles anything I...

Heh. Quebecers sometimes refer to themselves as Canadiens.. it's the Quebecois spelling. I never really understood why Inglis existed only in Canada and basically was rebranded Whirlpool. After our GE Filter-Flo died, it was replaced by an Inglis washer and it's still kicking around today...

I admit, I'd like to see one of these machines in action. The agitator looks larger than usual, but the ribs on the washplate didn't seem very deep to me, so I'm kind of curious how it would agitate the load. I did notice that the tub moves back and forth very easily, so I'd be a little...

I admit that it would be nice if my washer and dryer had the capability to send my phone a text message or an e-mail to say it was finished, but that's about the extent of the connectivity that I'd want from it. I have a friend with an LG washer and dryer that has a remote time readout which...

This is a very old thread and not really relevant anymore. I've posted a link to a thread dated 3/7/2013 in which there are already electronically controlled Speed Queen Top Loaders being sold in Australia. You may want to view that thread to keep ontop of what is coming. It is only a matter...

Well, I will say that this machine did a better job of cleaning our clothes than the 2004 vintage GE Top loader it replaced. It's also considerably easier on them. The GE liked to rip things...

I'm very glad to see you got this old machine back up and running again. Glad to see that you were able to get all of the documentation you needed and that it was just a fairly simple repair to get it going again.

> I went to Saskatoon today, and had a fabulous time checking out the Sears store. > So many different machines!! The only thing that irks me about Sears products is that they tend to rebrand absolutely everything as "Kenmore". So, you could be buying LG, Samsung, GE or Whirlpool machines all...

mielerod69, Now I'm really curious as to why there is such a difference in cycle times! I wonder how the cycles are different? My guess is that Australians pack their machines so much heavier than Americans/Canadians so they need longer washtimes to get the clothes clean? I don't know.. I'm...

One short thing I thought I should add... The way this machine determines "warm" is the same way they do it in their top loaders. They simply use a mixing valve with a restrictor on the hot side so that the water isn't too hot. I personally don't find that this slows down hot water filling all...

To washer111: I don't have issues with the shorter wash cycles and stains. I find that if there are clothes which are heavily stained, I pre-treat them using something like "SHOUT" and wash them in a smaller separate load. I find that a larger tub works better for ensuring there's more washing...

Malcolm, the rear of the tub in my Huebsch looks as pristine as the day I bought it. Strange that the Miele's would have an issue with that. Wrungout, I don't think you'll find any machine designed for light commercial use which has a delay wash feature. At least none that I'm aware of. That...

Wow.. this is an old thread. So, it's been a little bit over 3 years since I first got this washer. Guess I should provide a status update. The washer has been downright flawless. The washer has been adjusted so that it washes and rinses with a higher water level, but only enough so that the...

I'm guessing this would be used in a professional laundry area? Quite a strange modification to make, but I could see Alliance making a buck or two by selling this as an option. GE made a front loader which does something like this. The pedestal contains large containers which you fill with...

Well, what I'm going to mention to you is something you won't like to hear. You can feel free to ignore my post if you want. I'll be honest with you in saying that if you are fixated on spending just $800 on a front loader, then buy anything on the market. Nothing will be all that reliable and...

I have to admit, I admire a company that stands behind their products like this. It shows me that they're confident in the longevity of their products. (Or at least that part anyway.) Now, in saying that, I honestly hope that this doesn't seriously hurt the bottom line of the company if a lot...

Pierre, Your comment about cold water washing is inappropriate to this thread and is not related to the topic. Please STOP thread jacking! (In case you don't know what that is, I've posted a link.) As well, The thread on cold water washing has been BEATEN TO DEATH. Please do not mention it...

Damn, I forgot to mention one last thing.. On Speed Queen washers, they do NOT have automatic temperature control. Thereby: Cold is tap cold. Warm is a set cold/hot water ratio mix. The warmth of the water depends purely on your water pressure and the temperature of your water heater. Warm...
