I just got back from an Appliance store that had Whirlpool , GE, SpeedQueen Agitator washers. The Whirtlpool (Model # WTW4800BQ) is dual action and looks attractive but for 1 problem: it has knobs but they are not mechanical knobs. The knobs don't rotate as the machine progresses along its wash...

I have another question. Anyone familiar with the G.E. dual action Agitator washers? Like the one below? http://products.geappliances.com/ApplProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=SpecPage&Sku=GTWN4250DWS Any idea on whether they provide true HOT wash? Hows the turnover? Quality of the GE vs...

Thanks for explaining Murando531 So can I get a true HOT wash from either the Whirlpool or Kenmore? I am planning on connecting the hot water mains hose to the COLD water inlet in the machine and running a COLD wash. Reason is so I can get a HOT rinse also. I could just connect the cold water...

" Amana is Kenmore....or actually Whirlpool.....this is not your normal DirectDrive machine....this is a reversing motor to agitate machine....can give variable strokes for each load based on the amount of force against the motor....a small load would not get vigorous wash action that a full...

Could you quote the name of the YouTube video please? My router firwall blocks the video and I see no direct link to the video on YouTube. Thanks http://i

Speed Queen AWN 542. Anyone modded the straight-vane single action Agitator with a Dual-Action Agitator? I assume the gearbox would need to be replaced too or is the dual action contained within the Agitator vane itself , on machines made by Whirlpool,Kenmore,GE or Maytag?

" that's not a normal wash action for that washer.....its been upgraded..... a dual action would give the same results in that low of a water level....again, only four vanes at work.... the Dual Action is design to aid larger loads to pull them down to where the cleaning occurs.... " Right ...

Which moves the clothes around more: straight vane single action or dual/triple action (corkscrew)? I had assumed dual/triple action but then I saw the below video of a 'hacked' washer that is straight vane and has amazingly fast turnover. " Hot Rod Maytag washer " "Well here we go! A 1962...

Does the Triple Action Kenmore I mentioned have the 2 Agitation Wash action you see in the below Whirlpool? On the subject of HOT wash and Rinse, I am a bit confused. Can I get a true HOT wash and HOT Rinse by connecting the HOT water supply hose to the COLD water inlet and running the...

"The Whirlpool version doesn't have the "triple-action" agitator, but it's the same dual-action that WP has used for over a decade and it works just as well, if not better, in this belt-drive than it did in the DirectDrives. The Triple-Action model seems to be more of a gimmick, in that it...

Going to buy 1 tomorrow from SEARS. So which one is better, and by better I mean which design cleans more vigoresly? Price isn't an issue as they both are close in price. The Triple Action is around $449. Is the Triple Action the best style of Agitator, better than Maytag or GE Agitators? I...

AWN542 is the model I plan on getting . Unledd it is easier to hack the electronic panel of this SQ top loader. http://www.speedqueen.com/multihousing/en-us/products/products-results/am11-0402-manual-push-to-start-top-load-washer-rear-control-.aspx

To the fixer Does this look right; connecting a lead from Terminal R (of timer) to Pin 3 of Temperature?

To Malcolm So with the electrical hack, I can get: Cold Wash + Cold Rinse Warm Wash + Warm Rinse Hot wash + Hot Rinse ? Can I get Hot Wash + Warm Rinse? I am leaning towards this solution but does this adversely affect the reliability of the machine, because I plan on sending it overseas...

So easiest would be to connect HOT Water supply pipe to the COLD water inlet of the machine and the COLD water supply pipe to the HOT water inlet of the machine. This would give: WARM wash + HOT rinse HOT wash + HOT rinse No COLD wash possible. Have I got it right?

Is there a way to easily modify the Rinse to provide Hot or Warm rinse?

I plan to buy a new Speed Queen Top Loader. I searched around on their website but can't find mention of the Rinse Temp. setting options . What is the Rinse temperature for Wash temperature: Warm, Hot, Cold ? Only the Wash Temp. setting options has a Knob : Cold, Warm, Hot. The model is the...
