Thanks The good news is that she's done a little research and she's aware of the difference in technology of the new HE models. I feel like a broken record as I keep telling her it might look the same but they work very differently. She's going new and getting the GE 'GTW465ASNWW'. Tomorrow...

Used options--can you attempt to date? Yes, I think the TC5 is the best new option for my mother, although it will outlive her. I would also support a Maytag commercial. Stock is horrible on 'good' new washers and I think she's going to need something sooner than that. If she wants new we may...

Curious, why Whirlpool? Is there something obvious that I am missing?

Mom is pretty convinced she needs the Hotpoint Top Load Washer because of its price point. Mind you, money is not an issue for her, she just wants to be frugal and feels validated if she hits a sale too. If she wants to buy based on price point, I think I would prefer to see her in the Amana as...

The wringer washer for sale down the street. It was a Maytag J model (I think) square tub with a removable lid. It was very clean, with very little rust, with a brand new agitator. But not easy to move. I said 'no' initially because I couldn't figure out how I could use it. I have to store it...

I may be adding a Maytag wringer washer to my household. I found it on Facebook marketplace, it's only 5 blocks away, and, I know the seller from church. It's fate! She says it still works. $150 and I have something as a backup for when I am needing it. I rather have this than an HE piece of...

Thank you! They are much older than I thought.

Sorry, I don't have the model number. I'm looking at this for my mother, something similar to her 1997 Amana. It seems very similar.

How would you rate the noise and vibration level of the washer?

Kenmore Laundry can be bought at Costco as well.

used front loader? My machine is still making noises. It now also squeaks and rattles during the spin (but it was a big load). I don't think anything is off-balanced and my clothes still came out clean. I can work with this for a while yet, but it worries me. Because I am close by, I took a...

was told to replace it The repairman talked with Mom over the phone and told her based on what she was describing, it should be replaced. I don't know what she wants, but I'm going to suggest the Maytag commercial as a Speed Queen will outlive her. She does have the option to get a front load...

Not quite sure how old this washer is, but it needs repair. It makes a very loud banging-whirring noise in the spin cycle. I was wondering if someone could assist in what she has.

Aquarius1984, I went to Best Buy to look at an LG front loader, trying to decide if it is really an option or not. I got down low and I found it difficult to get my hands all the way back without discomfort. With my iffy back, I don't believe I have enough vertical space with the pedestal. I'm...

The LG MW3900 is a front load, isn't it? I probably need to stick to a top loader, but if my house was not as tight as it is, a sturdy, well-balanced front loader would be acceptable. As it is, unless the FL was turned and the hoses exposed, I would never be able to open the door to load it. I...

What kind of washer do I need? How do I do laundry? What price am I willing to pay? I tend to wash one day a week but I do several loads in that one day. I use a variety of cycles depending on what I wash. I do use the delicate/handwash feature about once a week. And, I launder my winter coats...

The repairman tested out my washer and acknowledged that it was loud but in working order. He did replace the agitator dogs and I think that alone has helped. In asking about a rebuild, he said that a new transmission is $250 and he wasn't sure about finding a timer, but it could run $200. My...

Thank you everyone for all your help. I think I'm off the market now. A repairman is coming tomorrow morning to take a look at my Kitchenaid. I guess as long as parts are available it doesn't make sense to replace it (when doing so is a downgrade). I told him on the phone I needed new agitator...

Thank you folks! DADoES it took me a while to understand what you were saying with the auger. Is this what you're saying I should get? See the link, please. It's about the same in price as the 80040 part. I rather have all the parts and just keep the spares if I don't need them. Repairguy...

This may need to move to the Imperial forum I am providing you a link to my KitchenAid in action, (it goes to my google drive) but I'll try to relate it to the new washers. I have thought about the Speed Queen TC5 and the commercial Maytag. I know there's a trade-off between performance and...
