DDAs ??...2018 Speed Queen Washers What is the long version of DDAs?  As for the 2018 Speed Queen TL as posted in Eugenes vid,  you could not give me one of those machines.  I may be old fashioned, but I want control of the speed of agitation/spin,  Water temp, and water level.   I do not need...

My Dream Machine Wish List I would travel great distance and pay reasonable price for a Unimatic any year in good working order.  Anybody up for making some Spring Vacation cash or early 2018 Christmas money?  Contact me. I am in the directory.  Tommy (Losangeles)

Frigidare and Norge Timeline washers Thank you to all the guys who responded, and esp. for not laughing.  I will keep my eye peeled as advised.

Ok, I may get laughed out of the AW forum, but here goes.  I desperately desire a Frigidaire Unimatic and a Norge Timeline washing machine.  I live in the deep south and the vintage washing machine population is slim to none.  I know there are members who have these machines, but do you have...

Can someone please explain to me the difference syles of unimatics.  I see different terms  used for the same machines. For example , Rolomatics, and multimatics. 

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I apologize.  I originally posted and incorrectly stated ( See Thread 73962 of 1/6/2018)  that I have a Kenmore Special Edition washing machine.  Correctly so, the washer is a Kenmore Limited Edition not (Special).  Not sure if that makes a difference, but there it...

Kenmore Special Edition Cycle Differences The towels cycle has an additional second rinse added, best I can tell.  Cotton/Sturdy is one rinse only but with a second rinse selection optional.  All rinses are cold with a warm rinse selection optional.  Knits/Delicates differ only by slow...

kenmore special edition Thanks akronman (mark) and potatochips (kevin) Tomorrow is Sunday and nothing but laundry to do, my favorite thing to do. I will hose her up and give her a workout (nothing to heavy, just average mixed loads) and I will pop the lid and give her a good look see. Thank...

kenmore special edition I have the spiral agitator, just have not changed them out yet. Kind of like the surgilator

I now have in my possession a Kenmore Special Edition Washer MODEL # 100.82294800 from a fellow Aw member who is moving and wanted to make sure his collection was sent to a good home. Hot water test passed but washing the first load a small trickle of water was noted coming from under the...

Are there any Non-HE detergents out in the market today. I may be a little old fashioned but I like to see suds during the wash portion of the cycle. I do not mind second rinsing if necessary. I have checked all the local markets here and there is nothing to choose from but HE detergents...

Single speed washers I have a single speed Maytag A 282. Since getting it I have been washing anything and everything that even remotely smacked of unclean. My wifes uniforms are a cotton/poly blend. Spinning them on low in my Whirlpool Duet FL and not crowding the dryer they come out...

Maytag will not start I removed the electrical tape from the safety lid switch wires and cleaned any adhesive residue off the wires. I then put new tab connectors on the wires and reconnected them to the switch. Still nothing. I am taking the machine to a used appliance repairman today. He...

Maytag will not start That is the one thing that did not show up. There was nothing charred or burnt. There was only an arc and spark. Happened very quickly in less than a second. Nothing smelled burnt and there was no smoke. The contact was the only thing that showed any sign of being...

A few days ago I removed the control panel and was adjusting the water level control. At the same time I disconnected the safety lid switch and put the two wires together and twisted them tight. Taped the ends with electrical tape. Replaced the control panel. Machine worked just fine for...

Just saw a youtube video about a guy who had installed a 50 Htz pulley on his Maytag washing machine. I this possible for a model A282. I really liked the souped up agitation stroke and turnover. I know that this was an old video but new to me. Any information would be appreciated.

Wringer washer failure I have a Norge wringer (date still to be determined)that has a pump and a Maytag E2L also with a pump and a rebuilt Speed Queen with pump.. I have met and become friends with an elderly used appliance dealer, who seems to be wise in all things washing machines. He has...

Spin Speeds So...What dictates clockwise or counter clockwise spin direction and does this correlate in any way to the spin speed?

Can someone explain why to a non-engineering type combos spin at such low speeds. I have watched the video of the Duomatic racing at 250 RPM and my mother had a Westinghouse slant front combo that could probably reach 350 RPM on a good day. And why do washers that spin counter clockwise...

Speed Queen Wow!!  Just finished reading this thread.  I enjoyed the opinions and good conversation (politics aside).  It is good to hear from men who are as impassioned about washing machines as I am.  Thanks for a good read.
