woodsbronx2rt asked, "How did you manage to cut and modify the 4 angel winged (vanes)?" There is one small screw on the center pole near the bottom. Unscrew this screw and lift up the whole agitator. Use a hacksaw to cut the angel wings. Use sand paper to sand and round off the cut edges. Put...

How to post Video? Had made a video file for washing of Maytag with modified agitator. How to post this video?

Some Observations The construction of original agitator is consisted the upper portion and lower portion. The lower portion has 4 semi-flexible fins, that work like a vane pump, to drive water from centre towards the side near the bottom, along the side and up to the top. Then water at the top...

Huebsch LTZ85 My recently added new toy. Now I have both worlds TL and FL!

Maytay TL

Modified the agitator for an 95/96 Maytag Depandable Care TL. The original Angel Fins were cut off to form straight fins in on the upper portion. The original Angel Fins tend to move the laundry away the centre before reaching the bottom. The modified agitator would reduce the shedding effect...

Huebsch FL has normally two rinses. One extra rinse will be added if the "Extra Rinse" is ON. Note that LTZ8* is a discontinuous (after 1993/94) model which uses electro-mechanical timer. The control console looks very similar to SQ/Huebsch TL. The existing modelis LTZ9* which uses electronic...

Window lid in 198x . I did have an Brandt washer in 198x-199X which had window lid. However what one could see was foam/sud and the rotation of the drum.

New FL vs TL and Old FL! Thanks Laundress for cleaning tips and will post some snaps soon. When I did the first REGULAR washing in Huebsch FL, the water level is very low, below the door opening. I was very skeptical about its washing and rinsing effect of the new FL because my previous 197X...

Huebsch LTZ85 arrives at last! At last, my Huebsch LTZ85 arrived this afternoon. It is a floor model with some dents and scratch. My 96 Maytag TL is moved from main floor to the basement as a second/spare unit. Huebsch FL is put in place of Maytag at the main floor. Apparently the Huebsch FL...

My son in HK says Brandt has an identical model as Thomson TX898 with name only the change of name.

H-axis or V-axis washers? Let me share some of my experince on the washers. Since 197x, I had owned 1) Zanasui FL, then 2) AEG TL H-axis, then 3) Brandt TL H-axis. These are all cold filled with about 5kg capacity with one fixed low-speed spin. We tended to use cold or "heated 30C" wash...

Tilted drums or true H-axis drums? Do they have tilted drums or true H-axis drums? If tilted, what is the tilted angle?

Delicated 240V 30A 60Hz circuit in NA Most houses in NA have delicated 240V 30A 60Hz circuit for electric dryers. There is no problem in wattage provide that F&P could work on 60Hz supply.

2007 SQ - Back to 2003 SQ? As I did mention, SQ FL prior 2003 uses electro-mechanical timer that has a LIGHT (7 min) to HEAVY (15 min) for the wash phase in REGULAR cycle. This old version also do have a "Rinse and Spin" cycle. Hope that SQ would incorporate these good features (of prior...
