I view it like this: research and development. Finding the right speed for the agitator so to select the right pulley latter on, showing that the machine can indeed handle a faster spin, and that a larger motor can fit inside the machine. VFDs have their place in the lab I think. Once optimal...

Neat, does this spin drain? It looks like you went with an electric drain pump. Do you have a thread for that build? I'm curious how this is all implemented. I love the big motor btw! :love::love: I think a ramp agitator is best for a timed fill machine. That way if someone advanced the...

Robert, what is the story behind that agitator? Is it original? I think a ramp agitator would compliment a Maytag perfectly. Especially one with a timed fill. I know John put one in a DC.

I like the way you think! Though for some folks, primarily those that get their clothes dirty and greasy, it may not be enough. That is where I think the load sense agitator comes in. The 50Hz pulley increases the OPMs per minute complimenting it, and the higher spin speeds saves energy in...

And to add the final ingredient to the recipe: Ignorance. Think about all the smart kids that were bullied in school. Thank how society views self education as impersonation of professionals or narcissism. Think of the 90s where they were even afraid to even show a dishwasher without a cabinet...

IMHO the washer is either very, very overloaded or the water level is to low for the load.

Here is that video:

This is what I think set Maytag back, along with the short wash-time. People should've acknowledge what the design was, but demanded a better agitator. There is member on here who put a 50Hz pulley on their machine along with a load sense agitator in a Pitman which dramatically improved the...

People from a young age are conditioned to follow and believe a leader, no matter what. On one hand people are taught their old appliances are bad, wasteful ugly ect on the other how great and progressive new appliances are. If everyone was like me there would've been an epidemic of people...

That is a step in the right direction. Just change the Anderson Connector to a high current interrupting DC circuit breaker. Car can't continue running away when the DC power is cut to the drive motor.

Electronics and "drive by wire" are now found on gas vehicles as well. Electronics can call for as much acceleration as they want, good luck when the fuel line is chocked and the engine can't get gas.

I just want to say I love those double outlets. I wish ever kitchen had those. Also like the fact you provided 3 outlet boxes for the counter space, I've seen vintage kitchens with only a single duplex outlet for the whole space. I personally like having 20 amp T slots but thats just me...

That right there is the best top load wash money can buy. 3 speeds, auto temp control, best washing, best rinsing, best results. All the features one could ask for, plus fully automatic detergent, bleach and softner dispensing. Those washers were truly peak, the crest of human civilization.

You can shower me with the details on the matter. I am interested in hearing all sizes of a debate. I can't see a simple ball valve in the fuel with a rod up to a dial being much more complex for the safety it provides in a run away car.

Vast simplification of the machines electrical. Fewer contacts in the timer, pressure switch contacts don't have to carry and make/brake high load currents, easier service diagnosis, machine can't get stuck in fill mode indefinitely should something go wrong. Think Maytag dishwashers. The float...

GE even offered HVAC at one point.

Same, however, I wouldn't mind a Kenmore FF.

No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that a Kenmore badge GE rim flo? No way.

I feel it better than the engine stuck cruising at 60 MPH with no brakes, no steering and no shifting of any kind like the guy in the video. The master switches would choke fuel to the engine by closing a ball valve on the supply line via a hard physical rod and another would physically...

Does anyone have the wiring diagrams / service manuals to the timed fill AMPs and/or first helical drives? Fascinating history right there. I agree entirely, 100% timed fill alone is not a good idea. I feel it must be done in conjunction with a pressure switch to account for variables and to...
