Replies 4 and 5 I kind of don't understand the laws of physics here then. My Frigidaire Gallery GLTF1670AS1 spins at 950RPM The G force is around 269.1 G's The T-400 is only 100G's The Frigidaire Gallery washer's tub is supported by nothing but 2 plastic shock absorbers and 2 springs The...

I didn't see rebar in the floor in the installation video. Guess I will just have to wait for my own place or lug the 432 pound machine down the basement stairs and run water to it. Or Secure it to the floor in the garage. This machine is not new, It's from a place that is upgrading their...

In our ever so growing world of artificial obsolescence. Whirlpool has decided to stop making Direct Drive Parts and Maytag Neptune Parts. The 12002039 Motor Conversion Upgrade has recently gone NLA with No replacement. According to Matthew James. The Timer and some of the less common parts on...

Floor The floor is standard tile and is nothing fancy. I just don't want to chip it. Grout isn't too difficult to clean up if I move.

Ok so my next big hit might actually be one of those Dexter T-400 Washer extractors, It's going to be so much torture trying to install it, I am aware that I have to pour a 4 to 6" concrete base for it to sit on. My Idea is to pour the 6" pad and bolt the 432 pound behemoth to the concrete pad...

Reply #61 Most places online have the seals available. The 2 bearings are SKF 6207 for Serial Numbers Starting with 12 and up

I got the machine working again. I wish I would have done photos and documentation but me and my dad attempted and succeeded on the first ever VMW Gearbox Rebuild! We drilled out the rivets and managed to get the bearing to come out of the top half of the metal shell without destroying it...

Took Apart the Gearbox My dad and I took apart the gearbox today and discovered that it may have not even been assembled properly at the factory. Opening up the gearcase my dad noticed that the bottom of the housing was rough. He also noticed that the shaft wasn't pressed in all the way at the...

Reply #3 This sounds about right. Usually it's one of those parts or the shifter or splutch. Sometimes it's the suspension rods. It isn't usually the gearbox/gearcase

Today I picked up a Whirlpool WTW4616FW1 Vertical Modular washer. Upon running diagnostics I noticed that the machine would not agitate at all after dismantling the machine. I noticed that the gearbox was defective. The agitator shaft comes right out of it with no effort from me and it grinds...

Reply 6 I like the Frigidaire because it dries fast and matches the front load washer that I love so much. I just take it apart and clean the cabinet out every 3 months and I take care to never overload it. Have not had any issues with scorching. I also never leave it unattended. I stay active...

EPA Bullcrap Everything from the EPA/DOE Is nonsense. Electric Dryers are still made with 5400W Elements when they could be reduced to 3600W or 4500W and still work fine. The F&P Top load dryers are 3600W on Medium setting and the Frigidaire Gallery Bearing Hitch model is 4500W. The GE Dryers...

All thanks to Consumer Report's crappy testing and lying about this. The Whirlpool CAE2795FQ, MVWP575GW,MVWP576KW and MAT20MNAWW have been DISCONTINUTED. Consumer Reports saying HE machines are better is a big fat lie! The only HE machine I think works better than a traditional Agitator washer...

I love my Fisher&Paykel IWL12 but I really hate these pumps that it uses. I really wish F&P could create a Smart Pump retrofit kit which would include the Smart pump assembly. An Adapter to mount it to the existing tub and to replace the diverter with the system the Smart Pump uses. Along with a...

Any Hobart built KitchenAid Dishwasher

How do I get this machine to wash a load of lightweight synthetics? This machine hates them. I tried everything I could think of. Mixing light and heavy stuff, Sheets and Bulky Cycles. Only thing I found successful is putting the conventional Agitator from the IWL12 into the AquaSmart and only...

Most irritating washer sound A Calypso with a broken U Joint or a Frigidaire Gallery with a broken Spider arm.

Reply #7 I personally have never had issues with my Calypso streaking dirt on my clothes. Lint can become a problem if I put towels in the mix but if I don't. It runs just fine. I'm currently using my Fisher&Paykel AquaSmart and the link below shows it turning over a heavy load of towels on HE...

Reply #4 If Whirlpool's Quality control is so good then why did the Calypso fail and why do the machines they make now not clean clothes? Not trying to argue but I am trying to make a point. Only Whirlpool Based Machines made now that I know of that clean clothes properly is the...

Today is in my opinion a sad day. Whirlpool has just finalized their acquisition of InSinkErator, The Highest Quality and the Original Inventor of the Food Waste Disposer. Unless Whirlpool Just owns InSinkErator now and the team at InSinkErator are still under quality control. This means...
