    What brand new Top Loader Washer do you recommend?

    Plastic Parts Plastic parts. Some of these plastic parts on a vmw model could be metal, I guess. Most of us know or have someone in our own family that decides to put these washers to the test and overload it or wash stuff in it that doesn't belong. Sometimes an oops just happens. I am...

    What brand new Top Loader Washer do you recommend?

    TC5 vs Maytag mvwp57gw Comparison Video I think this is an excellent comparison video. However, the Maytag mvwp575gw (to the best of my knowledge) has tap hot water for the deep water cycles. The washer fills by alternating hot or cold when warm is chosen but not both at the same time. When...

    What brand new Top Loader Washer do you recommend?

    Maytag mvwp575gw Hi! I've actually owned and used the Maytag mvwp575gw for 2.5 years now. I purchased this in 2018. The SQ AWN432 was nowhere to be found, and the TC5 was not available until May 2019. Though the TR series has some nice features like the auto fill, I am not a fan of the wash...

    First and second generation HE washer performance tests.

    A Powerwash with presoak < 1 hr. in Maytag mvwp575gw TL Maytag mvwp575gw. Lots of water with tap hot for the deep water cycles, dual action agitator, and short wash times! The longest cycle is the Powerwash which is 45 minutes. A presoak added to Bulky, Delicates, Mixed, or Powerwash adds 10...

    Service manual for Maytag MVWP575GW?

    Manual Hi! I've had my washer for 2.5 years now. No issues yet, but I would be happy to help if I can. The tech service guide is taped to the inside of the front panel. The Maytag mvwp575gw model has a 5 year parts and labor warranty for residential use, if needed.

    Trump administration sued over dishwasher efficiency

    Hmmm. I have a Frigidaire model that is between 5 and 10 years old that replaced an old Maytag from the 90s with the mechanical dial—I wished I know then what I know now. For the longest time, I couldn’t figure out why this appliance was not working well. My mother has an older Frigidaire...

    READ THIS before you buy a New LG Front load washer. LG's New Scam

    Replacing Bearings and Seal Out of curiosity, what would a repair technician charge to change the bearings and seal in a SQ residential front load especially since this one is made to be more repairable? Although its cost initially put it out of my consideration, I have done some rethinking...

    New Whirlpool commercial TL

    CAE2795FQ has been available... It looks like it is sold as a coin operated and non-con operated model. You can search this model on Google and find many places that sell it including Home Depot. I have the Maytag mvwp575gw. The differences I see is that the CAE2795FQ seems to have a Normal...

    Speed Queen TR5 Noise issue

    @combos52 Is the SQ FL you are referring to the FF7? Is the only difference the finish and what side the door is on? Could a dryer be placed on top (it doesn't look like it because the sloped front, and I've not seen that feature mentioned)?

    The return of top loaders?

    Top Loaders for Me My next purchase will probably be another top loader. My top picks right now are still the Speed Queen TC5, Maytag mvwp575gw, and options by Laundry Alternatives right now. I like my Maytag mvwp575gw. For the difference in price, you get the extended warranty, easier to...

    Disable lid lock Magic Chef Washer

    @thomasortega I plan to put a magnet under the top, but it looks like I might have to raise the top panel and maybe access the plastic housing underneath. I also plan to do some more videos of the wash action. I don't have any special equipment other than my phone...not even a tripod, i...

    Disable lid lock Magic Chef Washer

    @thomasortega It works!!! Video link attached.... Thank you so much Thomas! I made a short video. It was a bit tricky to get the magnet in the right spot, and it does require a strong magnet. I gave you credit in the video, but if you need me to remove that remark I can.

    Disable lid lock Magic Chef Washer

    Magnet Mine has a magnet on what would be the left front of the machine lid if I am standing in front of it. I have not found a way to bypass it.

    Disable lid lock Magic Chef Washer

    @terebin I have a Magic Chef Portable Washer, MCSTCW16W4. If you figure out how to do this, can you post pictures. My sensor still works, but it is annoying to pause it each time I need to add something or check the load (it’s not always easy to see through the top)...

    Replacement for 20 year old Whirlpool

    @coco2 In our case, it was the metal sensors on our dryer. They had come loose. I tried to fix them, but the fabric kept getting caught. Holes were ripped in the T-shirts and more. I just ended up taking them out and using a timed dry. We have a Maytag mvwp575gw and have not had an issues...

    Why you should NEVER add water to a TL washer

    Adding water... I add water to my portable washer, a Magic Chef, all the time. A two-gallon bucket fills bring the “large” water level selection to 3/4 of the tub. I’ve never had any issues with leaking. These HE recommendation were well intentioned but poorly researched. Less water means...

    Why you should NEVER add water to a TL washer

    Washing pillows I wonder if it was the weight of the pillows and water was aggravated a problem that was waiting to happen anyway. If they are not perfectly positioned, it can really thrown one of these hung suspension washers in an out-of-balance very quickly. Those jerky movements can...

    Replacement for 20 year old Whirlpool

    TC5 not TR7 Buy the TC5 not the TR7 for all the reasons John (combo52) said. It is the closest you’ll come to the one you are replacing. Lorain Furniture and Kirk Rivas have some great videos on it. You can try a Google search for the timer you are looking for or maybe even eBay?

    Do top-loaders truly wash clothes better than front-loaders?

    Edit I can’t go back and edit my post. I said this, “ You won’t convince me that it decreases reliability and adds to the cost unnecessarily for those who just want the basics.”. What I meant is no one will convince me that replacing that mechanical timer with a control board was a good thing...
