Draining Two Machines A buddy of mine grew up in a large family and they had two washers...and his mom had to stagger the cycles to avoid overflowing the drain tub into which both hoses fed. He told me of a time once when he was messing around with the loads and as a result both drained at...

Water Level So by automatic it doesn't mean that it adjusts to the load?

Looking at today's pic of the day, the Maytag ad boasts "Automatic water level." Did the machine actually select a water level?

SQ AWN432 Yes, it's a spin-drain and very smooth and quiet. A spin-spray only after the wash, unlike the Whirlpool I had which had a spin-spray only after the first rinse and not the second, if you selected the extra rinse. I do miss the spin-spray with every spin on my original Maytag...but...

SQ I agree....my new SQ is really cool. It feels solid, like an old Maytag Dependable Care. A smooth and solid swirl-away spin with no vibrations, unlike the rackety Whirlpool I had to replace.

Thanks I'll have to give it a try!

So far I'm very happy with my new AWN432 Speed Queen. Very solid and quiet when it runs, close to my original Maytag DC. I miss the spin-sprays after the rinses, but not that big a deal. Anyway, the reason why I write...in the manual it mentions that as of January 2009 all top loaders had to...

SQ So the SQ design is very much like the Maytag DC. I do like that.

Belt Once again Peter is acting up.....a sound spanking!

Belt A, so it's belt driven. I was wondering. I do sense a bit of a "metal" smell which I think is from the all metal transmission. I'll have to take the front panel off and some point and have a good look around.

So now I have my new SQ AWN432 and it works pretty good...feels much more solid than the Whirlpool. Not quite like the original Maytag DC, but very close. Observations: Quiet Much quieter than the Whirlpool. The loudest point is the brake when it stops spinning. Agitation is smooth and...

Peter ....needs a spanking!

Okay, my new SQ AWN432 was installed...looks good so far. Who knows how to defeat the lid switch?

Agitators Frankly, I never liked those dual action things. My first Dependable Care Maytag had the straight vane agitator and I though it worked fine. Unfortunately that machine was damaged when packed and stored by a moving company, so I replaced it with another Dependable Care which had the...

Here's another:

Here's one:

Build-up I don't use fabric softener, so it's not that. I usually use liquid Arm & Hammer and I double rinse most stuff so I think it's unlikely. I did notice when I got the machine that unless you remove the agitator fabric softer dispenser mildew builds up inside that area, so I long ago...

Hello - My Whirlpool top loader recently finished a load with a few smudges of a grease of some sort in several spots near the bottom of the tub so I'm considering a new machine. Since real Maytag Dependable Cares are no longer available, I'm considering a Speed Queen, (not ready to move away...

Rinsing Okay now Combo.....point taken about cleaning and lubing. Yes, it is a good opportunity. Peter is just teasing me because I rinse my clothes a second time and usually do so by starting another rinse after the regular cycle on the washer because the "second rinse" doesn't have a...

... Thank you Yogi, I'll check it out.
